So how on earth do you suppose on stumbles upon something such as these? Flickr? Google? Nope. I was listing some vintage circus tickets on my Etsy store and looked up a bit of history on the Circus Hall of Fame. A link on their page lead me to find the Circus in America site where these lovely poster images reside.

If only events were promoted with such exaggeration today. A beautiful poster collection indeed. If they only had the playbills and hand lettered posters online!

I love color combinations and bed linens, and even more … I love them together! Castle is the store front for Rachel Castle, a Sydney-based designer who went from a branding and design agency  in London to homemade linens and artwork.

“The brand represents a love of beautiful, often handcrafted or handprinted, pieces for the home.”

If you have a love for the handmade and desire graphic, colorful bedding or artwork then you should go visit Castle.

I saw this poster and nearly fell off my chair from shock and then laughter. Can you imaging this being posted in the 1930′s? It’s a great piece of work and looks like those college knock-off posters. There are some great posters on Vintagraph where you can view and purchase prints of the posters for your own collection.

View these posters and whole lot more on Vintagraph.

And some very relevant artwork to our status in this country today. Considering the motor companies in the U.S. are losing out to foreing car makers, this should be revived.

Ratatouille

There is a websited dediccated to the artwork produced by Pixar. Not just the animation, but the actual hand-drawn artwork by the amazing artists that have worked at the studio. Visit the Art of Pixar to view your favorite Pixar film’s initial drawings.

Cars

I wish I had artwork from each monumental part of my life. How wonderful would that be?
