Great Vintage Stuff 2

 



I was a little proud for making the first post last month, so here's a sequel. Enjoy these pictures, they represent warmth and passion also a little inspiration. 









Here's a rare Japanese theatre release poster of Guys and Dolls (1955) this is so unusual but pleasurable. I kinda like the abstract dot patterns. 










Here's some outstanding Song of The South artwork from record covers. 







I miss this era of Disney. Imagine if Walt Disney Records would've continued making records in a style like this with their Renaissance and modern movies. Unfortunately that died out, but I do believe that Disney is still trying at least when it comes to their animation studio.











I'm a fan of the old Collier's magazines, particularly the ones illustrated by Vernon Grant, but here's one of my favorites so far designed by Wilson Cutler. Love the woman's facial expression.












Now here's some fun stuff. A Disneyland coloring book from 1955. This is too good! I could look at this all day, don't entirely know who designed it, but they sure know how to impress viewers.





J.C Leyendecker still continues to be one of my all-time favorite artists. His art is just so fresh and creative. I also admire the casual fashion, they don't directly advise stuff like this anymore. 







To me, it just isn't the same. The magic is quite gone. The magazines I'm seeing are actual real photographs, it's fine but not exactly what I prefer to invest.








Richard Scarry's Golden Book era is my favorite, his design of Smokey The Bear is literally the cutest I ever seen. I discussed about his other art before in previous posts click this link if you have the chance. 














I have alot to say about this. I love the color scheme, just like with the Disneyland cover, I appreciate the coloring books where the cover art has a train, they are really difficult to draw, this is very cute. Illustrated by Pete Hawley, he's probably a new favorite of mine.









Finally, I bring you some autumn art, this is a 1946 The New Yorker magazine cover that I really like. The color scheme is perfection, it's naturally accurate to the actual palettes to the fall season. Those trees remind me of the backgrounds from Disney's Legend Of Sleepy Hollow.

  I made some concept art lately of Szac and a kid he's trying to assist. I'm truly a fan of simple stories, but there needs to be a...
