If you are around Chelsea today Robert C Jackson has a solo show opening at Gallery Henoch. His work is beautifully painted still life scenes filled with Americana imagery.

Go See This. Tucumcari Trading Post. Tucumcari, NM.

If you are ever passing through New Mexico there is a great spot called Tucumcari Trading Post which has an amazing collection of Route 66 and American History from the 1950's and 1960's. It is run by Gary Cardwell, who is very knowledgeable about the history of the town and Route 66 culture in general. He connected me to a few other museums and collectors of similar icons of the past which I will write about in the upcoming days. Gary encourages visitors to photograph his collection of old gas pumps, porcelain signs, and American history.

Tucumcari Trading Post is located on the west side of Historic Route 66 of Tucumcari.

Realistically Speaking. The Photoreal Artwork Of Robert C Jackson.

Vintage Soda Bottle Cap Artwork.

My obsession with the 1950's and 1960's has so much to do with the advertising and graphic design of that era. There was a quality to the printing and the actual design that is not able to be reproduced today. The pre-computer era made certain that artists had to have a skill set that was up to par.

The logo design of soda bottles and caps sticks out as a favorite and so I am always researching to find ones that I have not seen in my travels. In my random flickr searches I came across a great collection of vintage soda bottle caps.Thanks to Neato Coolville for sharing.
