Pin-Up Art

I just bought a lovely framed pic taken from a 1954 pin-up calendar, November, to be exact - but the artist signature is hard to read. Maybe someone here can help? It looks to be something like

E. Chiriaka
E. Chiripoka
E. Chiriacku

But none of those things sound like any name I've ever heard. She's really well done (Like Art Frahm without the panties falling down) so It's possible he may be fairly known to you pin-up collectors...

Aha! Ernest Chiriaka.

I typed my name variatioons into google until something hit. Hooray! Now I must go research old Ernie.

She's up for grabs!
Uh, maybe that's an unfortunate choice of words. Ok...
SHE'S UP FOR RESPECTFUL MUTUAL CONSENSUAL GRABS!
