Link Round-Up: All About Pictures
It’s been eons since I did one of these:
- I have a great affection for the graphical aesthetic of the fifties. You
can keep your Toulouse-Latrecs–give me an ad for silverware from 1953. Via
Drawn,
here’s a whole site
dedicated to the commercial art of mid-century America. Don’t miss the cars,
trucks
or decor. - I had no idea that Michael Jackson’s creepy Neverland ranch was this
big (via Boing
Boing). Alternately, here’s a
satellite photo. - Via Gizmodo,
here’s an interesting commentary on how technology is breaking
the business model of wedding photographers. - These are not your father’s
e-cards. - An article on the
declining state of movie poster art: “In these days of floating-head
posters and art-monkey Photoshop jobs, it’s rare to see an original or even
remotely daring design for a movie onesheet.”
