This were the retro inspired piece of art by Matte Stephens named Large NYC Print. Here we see the common usage of retro styling to produce a flat tone of image and perspective with fluorescent color and lines.

Photography of the real view back in the 70's does great help too because our concepts are based on a street.

We also did a full research on one of the casual way of retro styling back in the 70's, that is the usage of vintage wall paper. It is to enhance the emotion, feelings and texture of nostalgia and decorative at the same time.

Whereas our concepts goes well with the way these wallpapers are composed. That is putting them behind the graphics and iconic elements.

Sparkasse by Matthew Rose. 'Sparkasse' means "savings bank" in German. Based on a collage first exhibited in Berlin at Galerie Rossella Junck, Sparkasse opens up a narrative of proposal and sexuality, possibility and Saturnalian deceit. A generous take-off on Picasso's 1907 Demoiselles d'Avignon, here the prostitutes are ourselves, and the offering is flowers and flowing milk (arriving and departing) under a strange, other-world sky. Sparkasse is part of a 20-piece collage suite from A Kick In The Kunst.

Mittwoch by Matthew Rose. Mittwoch, 2007, is German for 'Wednesday,' (literally middle of the week) and artist Matthew Rose's puppet-master/puppet collage. Part of the A Kick in the Kunst series first exhibited in Berlin at Galerie Rossella Junck, Mittwoch plays with both silhouette and shadow, each exhibiting a presence but Mittwoch is oddly absent an actual protagonist. The artist says this is something of a self-portrait, and he is somewhere in the gap of here and there. It is the modern retro.

The original 60's concert poster.

This is a 70s sex-ed record by Stanley Z. Daniels, M.D. It features a husband and wife discussing their sexual problems at a doctor’s office.

The orginal 1960's poetry poster. Designed by Lucia Pearce, the posters were printed by Looart Press of Colorado Springs in the 1960s. Pearce was an artist involved in the protest movement in America who also worked for a time for Eames. The posters incorporate words and poetry by influential figures on the counterculture such as Lord Buckley and Khalil Gibran into Pearce’s flower power designs.

The above two are Twiggy and Michael Caine, part of a range that also includes Pete Townshend and The Krays, the retro illustrations done by Hisknibs.

Keith Haring wall decals 80's style retro street-art.Keith Haring was an artist influenced by the street art/graffiti of the 70s and 80s, making the jump into the world of 'serious' artist before his death in 1990, aged just 31. His eye-catching artwork certainly lives on, instantly recognisable and still relevant and influential almost 20 years on.

The abstract piece by Matte Stephens again. the usage of colors suggested vintage style.

Retro Stickers!

Some of the fantastic retro graphics in the 1950's to 1970's. Here we can see how the usage of lines, color mood and photography begins into a more mod style.However, the retro elements are still cleverly shown.

All have co-ordinated sleeves too - stylish retro designs that are the work of San Francisco-based illustrator Michael Gillette. Original James Bond novels illustration in hardback

Gemma Jones (as you may already know) is a Melbourne based artist whose work usually involves retro and mod girls, taken from 1960s magazines and record covers. The original paintings currently on sale via her Etsy shop, where she goes by the pseudonym Paintergirl, are taken from her 2007 exhibition at the Distracted Gallery in Australia. Each of the five paintings features black silhouettes of women against grey and white patterned backgrounds. Another common retro style elements to be featured in. One of our appointed ideas too!

Graphic stylish retro piece. Would like to ask readers to enhance your views more on the color contrast.

The very infamous quote back then with the strong regconized background of pale blue. The retro symbol!

Christoper David Ryan’s sketches remind us of a style that belongs in the 70s — very organic and whimsical. I thought the color toning blended well though.

This is a retro bluestop ink experiment by Pilipo. Perhaps the beautiful structure line ain't convincing enough for the geometry firm and well shape elements of retro, yet it is just the style that brings out a strong essence of the 60's retro design. Lovely.

Retro in collage form.

Kindertrauma! is about the movies, books, and toys that scared you when you were a kid. It’s also about kids in scary movies, both as heroes and villains. And everything else that’s traumatic to a tyke! here i would like to ask readers to focus more on the clown style that are really a popular material for spooky way back during the 60's and 70's.

And last but not least. the highlight of the post: the Clown Prince of the Crime and his very much styli Mucho Macho Mustache, as claimed by the people back then! Hahaha. Cesar Romero was the highlight of the crime scene way back in the 60's where people then would claimed that the Jack's version of the joker was called the PARTYMAN JOKER and Heath Ledger's version as EMO JOKER and state that this must be some kind of joke when they were named as the best joker instead of Cesar's just because The Joker supposingly owned a freaking mustache. So the 60's retro clown wins hand down! So yay!

Although i am still pretty much a hardcore Ledger fan! -Zheng Joo
