Not a Cough in a Carload
In the pilot of AMC’s hit drama Mad Men,
the ad men of Cooper-Sterling are challenged with designing a campaign
for Lucky Strike cigarettes while ignoring a fact that was becoming
clearer by the day: Smoking kills. In the show, it was 1960. In real
life, the evidence connecting smoking to lung cancer had been piling up
over the previous decade—eventually prompting the Surgeon General
Luther Terry to urge smokers to quit in 1964.

Photographs by Cali
These online images don't do the actual finished pieces justice but they really stood out to me when I was at the Plaza Art Fair in Kansas City this weekend.
Cali Hobgood-Lemme makes hand-colored(painted) black and white photographs. Her current body of work incorporates objects from everyday life. She says, “Right now I think my pieces have the essence of a stage set; isolating these everyday items gives them an iconic nature that moves the images from the everyday to a moment from our lives.”
I talked to Cali for a good 30 min and was really impressed by her technique and skill quality. I might even head back to purchase one myself.

Right now I am really into the 50s-70s design styles. I don't know if this influence is a good thing or not considering the current culture. I don't even know if its a trend or style I should work with but I love the modern design. This Obama print is beautiful and the article about it is pretty interesting.
