Ads, ads, ads...

So, Ed's doing a few "retro" issues of DWP, harkening back to the old days of superhero stuff. As part of the retro look he decided to do a page of all those little ads like they used to do. Charles Atlas guaranteeing to make a man out of you, stamp collecting kits, kits to build your own mini-bike or go-cart, sea monkeys... things like that. Oh, and of course, X-RAY SPECS!!

Anyway, he wanted do do a big page full of these little ads but instead of just mocking some up he opened it up for people to run real ads. I did one for myself and then a couple for a couple of the fellas. They were fun to whip up. (Click 'em to enlarge)


Other than that just doing some lettering and gearing up for some cool new lettering projects to start. Also have a new writing project, some sci-fi, that I hope will get started soon...already have an artist ready to go.

Now it's Night Star's turn, right?

These are really fun, and bring back great memories too. Ed had an inspired idea, and it looks like it's inspiring some great ads. Killer designs, Kel.
