Fridays just seem to be art day around here. It's a tradition that was started at least 5 or 6 years ago, but no one is really sure when or by whom. All the same, it makes sense - right?

PRE-65: Would have to be the car ads of the late 50's, Oldsmobile and Mopar in particular..... Plan59 website is where it's AT man..... After '95: Jeez...that's tough....I love Weesner and Chris Frogget's stuff.

old stuff, just about anything from this guy, well maybe not this one : syd mead ________________________________________________ new stuff, almost evrything from this guy : david perry
pre 65 - most any pre-war printed car ads post 95 - Norwell, Weesner, Froggett... Too many more to list. We're living in a renaissance, whether we realize it or not.
Plan 59 is full of artwork primed and ready for funny captions... "You're damn right I 'm going to hit him dear. That's the fat bastard that gave me the speeding ticket last week." http://www.carspin.net/forums/index.php?topic=6805.0
