Glamour

A glamorous paste up graphic of a blonde woman wearing a bowler hat and old style tuxedo

Another piece from the deep archives. This is a closeup of a wheat pasted cut out printed on the bottom of a traffic pole. Beyond the glamour of the colors, there’s a distinct attitude in the position of her head and in her eyes. A wariness perhaps as she seems to be turning away but not looking away. Wearing men’s clothes but with red lipstick, she captures (demands?) the masculine without relinquishing the feminine.

Frankenixon

paste up illustration of Nixon as a Frankenstein monster

Here’s a scary thought for the season: What if president Nixon came back from the dead? As a Frankenstein monster? Sort of a Frankenixon. Anyway, that’s what this illustration reminded me of. Love the scratch board style and the yellowed newspaper tone. Plus, the placement makes it look like he just jumped (lurched?) out at you!
