My new 1950s images

By Toni Young


Hi everyone - my first blog.. hmmm.. what to say!!



Well, I have uploaded some new pieces today - a set of 1950's kitsch images.  I love everything fifties, and have wanted to incorporate this in to my work for a while, so when I came across a bunch of Picturegoer annuals (these are 1950s film annuals that used to give you a rundown of all the year's movies and actors) I got very excited and set to work!  It took me many hours to pick out the images I wanted to use, mainly because I got VERY sidetracked reading every page and every article!!  I then gave each image a faux 'through the viewfinder' effect, experimenting with lots of techniques and colours.  I am really pleased with the end result, and I hope you like them too. 



They look great in black frames by the way, with a nice wide white mount!
