I’ve collected quite a few vintage dragons – see what treasures they’re guarding!

[particoat]

this has been bouncing around in my brain for awhile

made an interesting find, as somebody who enjoys vintage art. the famous artists course, dating from i thiiiiink 1948? really fascinating look into style conventions, and a good way to break down what makes something look 'retro'. mostly geared towards advertisements and, fair warning, very Of Their Time, but cool bits of history
