The simplicity and solid composition show the true talent and craftsmanship of designers in that era. We could all learn something from looking back in time to see how simplicity tells the story better than busy, cluttered compositions.

Vintage Fortune Magazine Cover Artwork.
I stumbled across these amazing vintage Fortune magazine covers on ffffound.com. It always amazes me how inventive designers were pre-internet era.

The photography of Michael Hall.
I ran across the photography of Michael Hall via my favorite site, Ffffound.com and thought they were a perfect fit for the work on my blog. They remind me that I am long overdue for a trip to the small, quiet towns that exist in middle America.
Hall's photos capture light and space eloquently and precisely. His subject matter is among my favorite and the solitude of his photos is almost unsettling.
There is an air of tension in his work which is mostly void of human interaction but will sometimes include odd characters.
You can see more of his work here.

The artwork of Kevin Cyr.
I ran across the art of Kevin Cyr while scanning through ffffound.com. Cyr's art deals with the many vehicle types that we see living in urban areas and a few, stranger ones as well.
His compositions focus primarily on the vehicle and occasionally he will give reference to a setting by using graffiti and hints of buildings. Cyr's technical ability is exquisite. His attention to detail tells of the toll that time has taken on the vehicles. Every dent, scratch and tag is accurately described and catalogued.
