I just wanted to post this about an artist called Mel Crawford. I love his work, one of these days I want to design a whole book in a style like this.

Maybe this kind of work is mundane in the US but I never saw much work like this where I grew up.

Anyways, here are some links that show just a little of the huge body of work that this guy produced, theres hardly a bum image in the lot.

Wouldn't you know that JK would have boxes of this stuff lying around.

ASIFA had a huge amount of scans which can be found here (link)

And you might want to stop by the Inspiration Grab Bag and check out some of these images here (link)

Everything is so colorful and fun, its funking brill. This is a style that I think would lend itself well to modern software such as Photoshop and Illustrator.

Bra-fucking-vo.
