What do dropped drawers and celery have in common? No, this is not a trick question. Both are common features in artist Art Frahm's playful pinup paintings. You don't often hear celery and sexy in the same sentence, but Frahm was able to incorporate this green veggie into some of his most iconic "lady in distress" paintings from the 1940s and 1950s.
