Dig that, daddy-o?
This is the world of retro cool, of ancient b-movies from outer space, of rockabilly monsters and hot rod cult, this is the world of Fridgeola's gallery. Away from the miles and miles of old lace and the scrapbook aesthetics of folklore vintage (and a really long way from Tipperary!) lies the stylish and strong work of Steve Harvey -the Londoner who let love carry him to the States. And, if this rockin' Route 66 design doesn't cut it for you, here's another one of my favorites:

Retrofuture is now
When it comes to retro-futurism (the depiction of the future the way they saw it back in the '20s to '60s), Retropolis Travel Bureau is the definitive place to visit. Look at this fine mug: looks like we are caught in one of our granddad's loved science fiction movies. I really like the way the warm background compliments the blue-grey image. The attention to detail and the execution is superb!
In Retropolis T.B. there are numerous well-designed (and tastefully humorous!) designs. Some of the best are offered on business cards, like the one below:
They are fully -and easily- customizable, so you can add your own information and establish your status as an Airship Captain (my favorite!), Experimental Cosmologist or whatever suits your taste. For me, your surreality watchman, rockets is the way to go!
The artist, Bradley W. Schenck, has a wonderfull site, both interesting and beautiful. You wouldn't want to miss it!
