Let's Rock!


I had an excellent brief for an illustration in a 50's American advert style. It should be a family guy and kids with a 'jetsons' feel, with a Danelectro guitar (the subject of the article.) Coincidentally I bought a fantastic book at the weekend called "Meet Mr Product"
http://www.amazon.com/Meet-Mr-Product-Advertising-Character/dp/0811835898
This proved a fantastic resource for this brief as it contained hundreds of characters many from the 1950's used in vintage advertising. This has been a style well mined by the wonderful Candadian illustrator Gary Taxali, probably my favourite illustrator currently working today.

Hello!

Great work! I have enjoyed looking through your blog - particularly like the 1950s influence in this one.
