Is it just me or...
by BoyScoutGirl » Mon Jul 16, 2012 7:46 pm
...does the "vintage" art in the 2012 Survival Guide look like it comes straight out of a Jader Troe's flyer? The style fits the theme and has a certain whimsy to it but at the same time I keep getting the feeling I'll turn a page to see an ad for super-crunchy granola.
It makes sense if you don't think about it.

Yup. Can you say "Dover Clip-Art"? or "American Science and Surplus"?
I do hope they weren't trying to evoke Ernst or any of the other original surrealists...
I don't hate it, understand, it's just, well, what it is.

I have never seen in the visual art world one thing copied from the next. Never in on-playa art. Ever, whatever!
