I thought the Viewmaster bra was an interesting concept.

You're right - I took another look at it and could identify so many things in it.

That one reminds me of an artist I once knew-- Mark Stamaty. Although there are differences, their styles are somewhat similar. (All or mainly B&W, and lots of details!):

Excellent! I love detailed work like that. It seems to me there was quite a lot of it about from the late 60's into the 70's. In underground magazines and Comics. Love it!

Exactly-- you are obviously familar with that genre. I think of him as a really perceptive observor of society at the time. Here's another really cool Stamaty illustration. (There are lots more on his website) :

DADDY LOOK, I FOUND A POLITICIAN

from the late 60's into the 70's. In underground magazines and Comics.

When I read that, the first artist that comes to mind is the famous (or possibly infamous?) Robert Crumb.

That guy was brilliant! Some of his stuff was a bit NSFW, so I won't post it here

The darkside of 60s hip culture...

Keep on truckin was by far his most famous, but I loved the "I'm not here to be polite!" one the most. It was always great to have a copy on your office wall.Grin.gif

You're welcome. The one you posted by Mike Wolff set me off-- jogged my mind and brought back a whole slew of memories-- work by illustrators who were "social commentators" of that era. Interesting times..and some very interesting artists.

And BTW, thank you or seeding this-- a nice change from the political balderdash that appears here all too often....

I agree very creative use of color and contrast as well as geometric shapes in a couple of them
