Looking Back






Easy to get sucked in by all the new illustrations popping up around us, but I recently came across an illustration by Coby Whitmore from the 50's, and went on a bit of a tangent finding some cool old 40's and 50's illustration. Its nice to see stuff other than kids illustration and pin up girls. There was some really great stuff, and a good place to find inspiration for composition and colour ways. A few faves were Bob Peak, Coby Whitmore and Al Parker, go find some. Theres quite a bit on this website, but its really strange to navigate?!
