I collect vintage postcards for several reasons: The history, the sense of travel, the personal interest, but most of all, the artwork. I am a big fan of commercial and industrial art, much of which was outstanding and on par with any fine art that has been produced. Commercial art not only had to look attractive, it had a job to do. It had to work hard for a living selling products.
While early postcard art may never be considered sophisticated, it abounds with character and nostalgia. As a tribute to that art form I have turned some of those postcard images into vintage travel posters. I have re-designed, restored and enhanced the authentic images and created borders with a similar “linen” texture that was common to vintage postcard stock.

I am a child of the 1950's and 60's, born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia where I ( briefly ) attended the Vancouver School of Art. I am a self-taught freelance artist, illustrator, designer and muralist. In my next life I think I'll try being an architect. In fact architectural renderings are one of my passions. The same can be said for all things Mid-Century, be it homes, automobiles, industrial design, fashion, art, you name it, that is one of the most iconic eras in western culture. An era of unbridled optimism, conflict and style that spanned thirty years. Much of my work reflects design cues from that time. I like to work a little mid-century into everything I do.
