The art of French Pharmaceutical Advertising
I recently picked up a copy of Baseline magazine (an international typography magazine) and saw these great images. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, remedies for various real and imagined physical and psychological maladies were routinely hawked using miracle claims. By the early twenties though, the big drug companies started waging war with the phonies and the result was greater governmental scrutiny. Even so, I love the magical nature of these ad campaigns.
Some nice work over at olofdotter
My first painting
To date I have pretty much satisfied my creativity using digital means - photography, Photoshop and Illustrator. In spite of the fact that I co-founded Imagekind, I have to sheepishly admit that is my first actual painting. It’s obviously very basic but I’m hooked and plan to do lots more. This acrylic on canvas was finished April 12, 2008.
