UPDATE: Several readers and myself have come to the conclusion that the unknown illustrator here is none other than the late great J.P. Miller! Many thanks to those with sharp eyes and a keen sense of illustration history.
There's more to this booklet as well as tons of other fun vintage illustrations in my Fun Ephemera Flickr set. Be sure to view it as a slideshow. Fun!
Other diversions:
Amid has some great Tom Oreb drawings over at Cartoon Modern. Be sure to read his thoughts on "flat" design here. You know I just had to give my two cents in the comments.
I have a BIG blog crush on Jen's wonderful Blackwing Diaries. Jen has been a big supporter of The Ward-O-Matic from way back when and I cannot give her enough praise and support myself in what she's doing on her blog. Insightful posts about Disney, storywriting, story pitching, the animation biz in general, as well as posting some fantastic vintage photos and knicknacks from back in the day. She's doing what every good blogger should do and that's create an inspiring account of your world, your interests, your passions -- with great writing. Excellent job, Jenny. Keep it up!
Flickr-hopping:
Vintage Disneyland: Grickily's great collection of vintage photographs of Disneyland from 1955 to the 1970's.
Signs and Entropy: Neato signage from Lord Jim. They don't make signs like they used to.
Jet Set Ruins: Never has old airplane wreckage and ruins looked so GOOD. 85 photos by Telstar Logistics. Is Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 in here anywhere?
The Sam Remo Groove: I'm diggin' ChicagoEye's set of 70's magazine ads. Right on.
That is all for now. This weekend I'll be working on the previously mentioned posts. I promise!
Have a great weekend and, oh, yeah -- It's Photobooth Friday!
