Here’s my top ten Jugend vintage magazine covers from its first year of publication in 1896. Jugend, meaning ‘Youth’, was a German art magazine that with its variety of front cover styles and being loaded with illustrations, led the way for Germany’s Art Nouveau artists. It’s amazing to think that […]

I was working on vectorizing this lovely poster when I went down a rabbit hole of color variations. Most worthy of Alice in Wonderland! “The Poster: Miss Art and Miss Litho” by Elisha Brown Bird, March 1896.

While feeding my phillumeny habit recently I had a lucky strike with these terrific vintage Japanese made matchbox labels of businesses in and around San Francisco. All are from around the 1900’s, so most of these places are long gone but who knows, maybe someone out there has some stories […]

Anna Ostroumova Lebedeva’s work rekindled an artistic interest in woodcuts—other than for print production. Lovely stuff. Check out 95 more pieces of her art on wikiart. I couldn’t help but notice the similarity between her monogram and the anarchist ‘logo’, coincidence? 😉 From Wikipedia article: Anna Petrovna Ostroumova-Lebedeva (Russian: Анна […]

Steve Frykholm’s first assignment on his new job at Herman Miller was to make a poster for the company picnic. The rest is history as they say. I was curious to see if there was one for 2020 and what imagery it used but no dice. In an interview for […]

Setting the tone for this post with a poster by Jules Chéret (1836-1932) advertising Job Cigarette Papers. You could say he was the Godfather of stone litho printing as a ‘pop’ phenomenon and just seeing his work demonstrates the influence it had on younger artists in Paris of the late […]

Founded by Saul Modiano in Trieste, Modiano made and marketed cigarette papers. I think of the art deco cigarette posters first when I hear the name Modiano.
