#Today I’m finishing up my #RoadTrip mix for next week’s 7 hour car ride to #Disneyland. It’s packed with so much #Disney #MidCentury #Music and audio it would make anyone want to put up their hair in a bouffant.

Some more (probably #midcentury) #ephemera from my collection, judging from the style and the price. #typography #packaging #illustration #graphicdesign

A square cardboard box of birthday candles, probably from the middle of the 20th century. This side reads "Birthday Candles" in a casual sans serif font with a handwritten feel, with three candles (pink, green and yellow) standing up at a slight angle from a blue field that takes up about one third of the bottom of the box. Just below the bottom of the candles is a cutout that show the actual candles (which are actually all a light blue color). At the very bottom is "happy birthday" in a casual script.

"Pink Peonies"
Teableau 06/05/25

The scent from these peonies brings pure bliss.

"A June Bride... In Noir Alley"
Teableau for 06/01/25

Met a Film Club friend today who was attending a wedding nearby, so... that HAD to be the June 1st theme, especially after she presented me with a poster from NoirCity 2024. ❤️

Tea tableau in a chiaroscuro mood featuring artwork from Eddie Muller's Noir City Festival and his book Dark City Dames. The tea service elements are MidCentury pieces from the 1940s, and to pound home the theme there is a black spider made of faceted black and purple jewels, a tiny silver handmirror shaped like a heart and edged in sparkly diamonds, and bouquets of red roses, except the blossoms are dried out, appearing the color of darkening blood. The tea is Black Cask Bourbon black loose-leaf from Harney and Sons.

Last summer, my theater presented "Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show," and we designed custom stickers for the audience. Being a collage artist, I had to cut them up. The stickers, not the audience. People frown on that.

#MastoArt #Collage #Theater #Midcentury

A hand-cut paper collage with black-and-white photos of midcentury young people and one bright color shot of a woman with heavy early-60s eye makeup. Interspersed are cut-up stickers from "Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show," with these quotes from the show: "Jump to the left," "Damnit Janet," "Hot patootie," and "Step to the right." Oh, and one of the old photos shows a girl feeding another girl a giant slice of watermelon. I don't know why.

Golden gate.

A partially finished paper collage featuring line drawings of midcentury women in slim dresses and flipped-out hair. They're placed on an ecru paper card with shiny burgundy and green papers, and a snippet of a magazine clipping that reads: "they'll make your simplest party the talk of the neighborhood."

The pre-fab Aluminaire House was moved to downtown Palm Springs in 2024. "Designed by then-budding architects Albert Frey and Lawrence Kocher (eventual pioneers of desert modernism) — made its debut at the 1931 Allied Arts and Building Products Exhibition at Grand Central Palace in New York City and, ironically, embodies eternally utopian principles for living."

Because it does not meet US codes for disability access, the interior is off limits to the public.

A three-story, aluminum-clad, boxy building stands against a background of the brown, rocky San Jacinto mountains and palm trees. In the foreground is a metal fence with a bright yellow sign attached that says "Aluminaire House." The sun is setting behind the mountains at dusk.
