50s illustrations with a side of dark humor
I absolutely love 1950s advertising. The cheesecake factor to me is just hilarious. The artistry involved...fabulous, no photoshop back then kids!
1949 Maidenform ad I found ran across searching for firefighter pics |
Not that these ads need help being hilarious...but, bluntcard.com has taken the 50s imagery and given them a new dark humored life. Below is one of my favorites. Happy Thursday!
About Me
Hi! I'm Ruth.
I've been designing things since a very young age. In fact, my first major piece of artwork was at the age of two on a freshly painted kitchen wall. It needed a colorful crayon mural...I saw and I conquered.
Currently my blog is in a bit of an overhaul. Soon this blog will actually be used! Mini adventures and design inspirations are on their way :) For now click the links above to find me on twitter or check out my portfolio. Ciao!
