Link Round-Up: All About Pictures

It’s been eons since I did one of these:

• I have a great affection for the graphical aesthetic of the fifties. You
  can keep your Toulouse-Latrecs–give me an ad for silverware from 1953. Via
  Drawn,
  here’s a whole site
  dedicated to the commercial art of mid-century America. Don’t miss the cars,
  trucks
  or decor.
• I had no idea that Michael Jackson’s creepy Neverland ranch was this
  big (via Boing
  Boing). Alternately, here’s a
  satellite photo.
• Via Gizmodo,
  here’s an interesting commentary on how technology is breaking
  the business model of wedding photographers.
• These are not your father’s
  e-cards.
• An article on the
  declining state of movie poster art: “In these days of floating-head
  posters and art-monkey Photoshop jobs, it’s rare to see an original or even
  remotely daring design for a movie onesheet.”
