Perhaps I belong to an earlier time. From music to books, my favorites often originate in a time before my birth. I fell in love with the classic Eames lounge chair on first sight. And, yes, I’ll watch the “Andy Griffith Show” if given the opportunity. Even the woman I love has a thing for Mid-Century Modern design. To some degree, I am vintage at heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Vintage Epiphany Develops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For years, I have been experimenting with images inspired by George Hurrell<\/a>, Gil Elvgren<\/a>, and Frank Frazetta<\/a>. Lighting, posing, color, and story. These are lofty names. Their work consistently catches my eye and helps me dream. More recently, photographer David Byrd<\/a> joined that list of inspiring artists. While it isn’t vintage, his images were a clear message: You can do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final piece: The amazingly talented artist Frank Cho<\/a>. I had discovered his humor and art style with Liberty Meadows<\/a> only to be more enthralled as I saw more of his work. Then came that afternoon when I was idly scrolling through social media posts. Just under a new piece by David Byrd, there was a Frank Cho image. Pin-up style with a theme and color pallet that reminded me of Frazetta. CLICK<\/em><\/strong>. What I had been flirting with for years became a sudden awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n
