Day 96 of visiting 100 blogs in 100 days...

Hey!

On Day 96 of visiting 100 blogs in 100 days... (only 4 to go!) takes me back to the glorious days of mid century illustration. Plan 59.com is a virtual online museum of illustrated cars, decor (which by the way looks very hip today and IKEA like), photos and other goodies.

Check it out! And if you see anything you like, it's available for purchase.

Plan 59's blog keeps you up on all the latest additions with a tidbit of history on each illustration and sources also.

Plan59.com is a family-friendly Web site dedicated to the commercial art of mid-century America.

Satisfied customers include General Motors (Saab magazine, Cadillac), Noble Advertising, the Dana Corporation, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, the Wall Street Journal and PQ Publishers (dozens of images for the book and DVD Rose Colored, published under the Barnes & Noble imprint).
