Fabric Sample 2
Beautiful barkcloth hippie dress found while thrifting ($2.99). Probably homemade. Seems I find a score like this once a year or so.
A, B, Cinema
I've posted collections of DVD screen-grabs before (HERE and HERE) when I've noticed images that adhere to a certain theme or motif recurring in the films I watch... This time I've gathered pics of handwritten words... but, instead, this time I'm making a guessing game out of it. Oh yes, how exciting! Uh, anyway, if you're "game" (HAHA!) guess which films the following pics are from and leave your answers as comments below. I have 2nd clues for some of them; for the remainder, I'll supply some sort of other hints. I suppose a few of these will be a cinch, especially those with character names. Okay, have at it. Sorry - there is no prize!

Artzybasheff Extras
A small set of advertising illustrations here from the great, great Boris Artzybasheff, one of my favorite - and one of the most peculiar - commercial artists of the 20th century. These were taken from the pages of Fortune magazine, circa WW2 or shortly thereafter... unfortunately I don't know the exact dates, nor do I know which companies the ads were created for. Nonetheless, it's great stuff and I eagerly await the definitive monograph of his work.
