I’ve been trying to locate artists’ names for these, but they were really interesting. Murad Turkish Cigarettes. It’s amazing the amount of advertising money that came from cigarettes and liquor.
George Petty doing cigarette ads. I knew about Jantzen…who knew cigarettes…heh.
J. James Tissod did many illustrations of religious texts.
Samuel D. Ehrhart did illustrations for Puck magazine.
This last one from one of the masters, Maxfield Parrish, for what I believe was, an illustration for one of the well-known magazines of his day, Scribner’s.
Thanks for the postcard site, Alan.
Enjoy!

Sometimes it’s difficult to find the names of the artists to these illustrations. This is a lovely cover from The American Girl, which was the magazine for the Girl Scouts (don’t know if it is still published).
Haddon Sundblom is famous for his Coca-Cola Santas…this is one for the military man coming home in 1945.
Will Pogany
Lovely illustration from Woman’s Home Companion in 1918…couldn’t find the artist, but isn’t it a lovely design?
Enjoy!

I’ve been checking out this thread over the last week and I just wanted to say thank you for this awesome collection of artwork.
The Chiparus pieces in particular were amazing!

Uhh, you made a great work starting this 3D ! Is very interesting!
Yes, I love the 1918’s pic expecially for the use of blue and lightazure stripes. S/he really knew how light works. Beautiful and subscribed !

Tasp[color=White], thanks for the sweet words and checking in.
Serena, grazie! I am really glad you like the art.
Jancko, muchas gracias. Thank you for putting in some of Winsor McKay’s wonderful work. Little Nemo is one of my favorites.
Modern Mechanix was a great magazine from the 30s. It had wildly designed inventions.

janco: “Little Nemo in Slumberland” is so bombs! One of my teachers put me onto it just last week, and I’m totally in love! :love:
BTW, [color=Lime]aldog[color=#fffffe], that’s a pretty great site you found- a real nostalgia explosion.
[color=Lime]Cris[color=#fffffe]: “Modern Mechanix?” Where are you getting this stuff? Absolutely awesome…

Hi, Mychael. I just love illustration and this long, wonderful span of history is filled with incredible work.
Take Russell Patterson. This is a magazine, likely from the 30s. He had a comic strip called Mamie. In 1920, he studied under Claude Monet for fibe years. I’ve been trying to find some of his oils from this period.
Fortune Magazine liked very graphics based illustrations.
Another of my favorite Leyendecker covers.
And a wornderful Norman Rockwell cover.
Enjoy!

Weee, you know italian!
Fortune’s 1931 cover is incredible. It reminds me Umberto Boccioni’s “Forme uniche nella continuità dello spazio”
expecially for the way he rendered the “ring” and in general, image’s planes.
I hope to see new updates soon!
Serena.

With so many very inspirational illustrations getting posted in this thread, and little WIP art as of yet…wouldn’t this thread be more applicable to the forum for art techniques and theories? It would be a great sticky even.

Hi, Lolo…lovely to see you peek in. Glad you like the Mechanix; I’ll post more later.
Hello, Alexander…thank you.
Hi, Tatiana. My intention was to do much more in the WIP department, but have been stretched thin of late. But it has been easy enough for me to put up a few images everyday…all of which are things that are inspiring me. I have a few of my WIPs coming up, but I just got waylayed by some work, including making sure my Painter class materials are done…too many eggs, too little basket.

Had found this beauty by McClelland Barclay.
I had been trying to find something I wanted to do in this style. I think this will be it. I want to get back to the Songbird, first. I wish I could work as fast as some of the people I see on these boards, but I can’t. This is still in WIP format.

Hi Cris!
Loving all the art you found, but I always love it more when I get to see your work. You have such master on anatomy and posing of the figure. I always had to use ref, even when I make up the pose 
Anyway, great work!

Hi, Brooke! Thank you, but nay, nay…this was based on one of Hong Ly’s beautiful photo studies. Often, I sketch from my head for the pose, but I will make use of photo reference for any parts that I want to be sure to try and get right. In this case, I had done the line study and I really thought it would work to do this illustration.
I’ve had so much to do lately, and presently I’m working on a 3D product for which I have to do several renders. While I was rendering, I’ve been playing with this.
a close-up
I had to try the coloration out…heh…just too many eggs and that basket gets smaller and smaller.

Your coloring way is really near of the goal… very apprecied…
just hair appear too much massive… especially behind the head… but it’s often like that, with extreme pose for the head… more needed

This is looking great Cris. I like the reduce/light value scheme. Instead, you depend more on color temperature to dictate form which unfortunately is not typically expressed in cg art. Anyhow, lovin’ it
