Desktop goodies are building up way faster than I can comment on all of them (I tend to save at least 20 images a day, and have never attempted to get my digital collecting in check).
Love all these (well, except the clown plate, which is way too creepy, even for me!).
My absolute faves are #7 and #10 (though it’s a very tough call). Had fun trying to place them too: I know #7’s the Palermo Tatzel Worm – but #10 eludes me. It looks like the illustration for a book cover – and if it is, I soooo wanna read that book!!! -Nx
Ooh, just had a thought! Could #10 be Lyra leading her Mulefa friends to safety from the Tualapi attack? So long since I read Pullman’s ‘His Dark Materials’ that the details have faded. Time to revisit them, perhaps… -Nx
I always look for dates on the vintage ads; they had so much depth in the past and I love how antiquated paper ages to ivory shades.
All the images are interesting in their own right, it’s hard to pick a favorite or shall I say the strangest. I’m exhausted but here goes…
* Something about skeletons and sepia that appeals to me. * If I was a barber I’d so have the wolf man shampoo on my wall. * An elegant dinner served by nonalcoholic spirits, now that’s what I wish I could experience. I wonder if Walt Disney got the idea for the haunted mansion from that? * Can’t tell if that book is about being properly malevolent or benevolent. * That creepy doll is possessed if there ever was one. * Cat vs. lobster = kitty’s dinner. * Now I know how my black cat would look if it mated with a snake; somehow I’m guessing this is related to Satan or witchcraft. Fortunately people today can educate themselves and realize true “witchcraft” isn’t about evil things at all. * We all know that creepy clown plate was in the same box with the creepy doll, in fact the box is probably labeled, Creepy Junk. Never liked clowns as a kid, still don’t. * I bet anything that elephant fitted in the car’s backseat. * The last picture is either the Little Debbie Girl Builds A Time Machine or Neta’s right.
