a friend of mine is collaging her entire dining room table with pictures of food, and seeing her creative explosion in progress gave me the bug to pull out my never-ending kitschy clipboard project. i've been working on it piecemeal over the last couple of years - every few months i flip through a bunch of vintage magazines and add a little more to the series. two clipboards are totally finished - i have one recipient in mind for each - and three more are in the process of being cheesed up. i love getting lost in those crazy old mags - i wonder if people 50 or 60 years from now will look back on our magazines and cackle as much as i do at these. fun fun!

omg. a couple of these made me snort(with laughter). i especially enjoy the Vicks Medi-Mist and the "banishes scum" speech bubble. and what's up with the terrified woman and her flaming frying pan? hehe!
fantastic fun!

BAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHA! Oh, groovy, man! These are fantastic. You always come up with the BEST ideas. These images are hysterical. I'm sure they seemed so normal way back then, which is a little scary.
There's something just so wrong about that last picture. HAHAHA!

Can´t really cut in my old magazines...only new ones...haha
hehehehe great fun! i love a bit of kitsch here and there :)
Great clipboards - I so enjoy 50's stuff - the cheesiness of it, the naivety, the seemingly innocence of that era ...
