Trip To Bountiful!

Images in collection © Copyright 2001 - 2007 by David Levine
I didn't think I could ever find such a treasure like this. It's by far the most incredible Graphic Design X-perience for me. Tons of pages of Vintage Travel Brochure Graphics. Stuff that makes me wish I was of that era to even have the chance of doing any of them.

Love it! Love it! Love it!

Ape Sh!t

This guy is into Gorilla/Ape Comic Book Covers. Large alphabetical index with lots of covers but not all are Great. Lots of vintage comix though.

Electric Boogaloo!

Here are some old Electric Ads from Mike's Electric Stuff.

FATE is a Fickled Mistress...

Wonderful collection of FATE Magazine Covers. Everything looked great till the Winter of '59 then FATE met it's own Fate; bad covers from then on. They tried several times to bring the illustrated covers back but they were never as good as the early ones.

Brokeback Paperbacks!

These are either for Gays or against Gays depending on how they are portrayed on the cover. A "Sister" site (pardon the pun) to StrangeSisters.com here is GayOntheRange.com.

Much More Mulling Around!

I can't get enough of Martin Mull's New Artwork @ the Rena Bransten Gallery. He has this incredible outlook of life and uses the images from the past to evoke those feelings with a touch of somber familiarity. He's my favorite painter now, with Jean-Michel Basquiat taking a step back to second.
You can take the Rena Bransten Gallery tour of Mull's paintings here. Just click on the paintings on the walls and the images will enlarge in the pop up window.

More Mull @:
The Patricia Faure Gallery
The Hammer Gallery

Bang My Ear-Drums Slowly!

One of the best Fire Cracker Label sites around. I like the Atomic ones a lot.

A Penny for Your Tots!

Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum of Detroit has tons of Penny Arcade Memorabilia. I love looking at all the graphics on the sides of pinball machines
