Weekend Onesie: Bill Jones - Part 1

Weekend Onesie: 

Bill Jones

Part 1 

People who check in on this blog on a regular basis know that I am a huge fan of vintage graphics. Some of the finest? From corporations looking to motivate their employees. I adore their big, broad use of color and presentation of iconic ideals, characters and images.

During the 1920s, a number of American companies produced motivational posters and cards to promote industrial efficiency and ethical behavior in the workplace. Motivational sayings were combined with high quality illustrations to provide easily readable images to convey the messages. During this time, Parker-Holladay Company, a British firm, was also producing motivational posters, featuring the fictional character Bill Jones. 

And there are a lot of them.

Here's your first taste!

 

Simple and direct...

These graphics have become iconic.

And part of history.

Friday Fun: Happy National Guitar Day!

Friday Fun: 

Happy National Guitar Day!

Strap on your six-string and start whacking away!

It's National Guitar Day.

And there is, indeed, something about a man with a guitar. Co-eds on campus in the quad are not the only ones seduced by this iconic image.

Be they sensitive folkie, rock 'n roll junky, or get-down-wit-it funky... when we see a man with a guitar, he is not just holding a guitar - in a way, he's holding you.

So let's indulge in a little musical fantasy.

Take a gander at the selection below, I'm sure you'll find something to your taste. 

What do you say to a naked man holding a guitar?

How about, "You strum and I'll hum."

Life is short.

Grab it by the balls.

Here's hoping you're 'humming' today.
