Those are sooo cool Rob! They have a very '50s vibe to them and look like they would have been included in those little packs of candy cigarettes! I can't wait to see your interpretations of my toyscapes!!
Thanks, these are fun to do. Yes, the inspiration for them comes from little Japanese Transfer books, from the late 1950s. A very primitive style, using process colors. Your Alien Toyscapes are coming along fine so far - stay tuned! SFZ
I see what you mean - the use of primary colors hearkens back to pulp fiction art of the 1930s and 1940s, possibly where the Japanese artists got the idea. SFZ
Funny you mention Lichtenstein - I was fantasizing about how one of these images would look painted onto a giant canvas, museum-style, ala Lichtenstein... SFZ

DeleteVery nice. As Ed says, very 1950s, or even 1940s.

DeleteSorry, ' you're ' the Roy Lichtenstein ...
ReplyDeleteNice work! As soon as I see vintage Japanese menko card art, I think of Captain Scarlet!
