WPA style Planetary Travel posters

I have been wanting to do some WPA style posters for awhile now. I love the idea of traveling to other planets, so I wanted to explore that a little more and see where it takes me. I have 3 of the posters done so far, and while it isn’t exactly what the planets look like on their surfaces, that is the fun part.
They are available on my Etsy shop. etsy.com/shop/Opafaf
Enjoy!

New York Times Illustration

Two weeks ago I was contacted by the Sports Art Director for the New York Times and asked if I could do an illustration for their sports section for March 14th to kick off March Madness. I accepted the challenge. Here is the final printed piece. Sorry about the resolution, it was from my outdated camera phone.

Retro Raygun Ad

Here is another personal illustration with the same theme as yesterday. Retro Futuristic. This is a Raygun... in honor of my daughter, Reagan.

and here is the Etsy listing to buy a print. I think eventually I will take Etsy out of the mix and just start offering these prints either just on my blog or on my main website:

ok. I am usually not the person that finds something interesting on the internet and shares it around, and posts it on my blog. That's not what this blog is about. However, these photos are just too cool. These were taken with a new photography process, and are images of life in the USA in the 30's and 40's. They are awesome.

In addition to this, here are some color photos taken in Russia around 1910. Very cool.

Football

Here is the football line that was recently released. It is made to give it a semi-vintage feel to it.
The small image is a sheet of card stock stickers, and the larger images are papers.  I think they turned out pretty cool.

Billboards in action

Ok, so a few months ago I created some billboards for a company that runs the concession stands at several national parks. One of those parks is Carlsbad Caverns, here are the art files I created for those: http://michaelmurdock.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-mexico-billboards.html

Well, I just got actual pictures of two of the signs, so here they are. I will post the 3rd when I get it.
Enjoy.
