Past Present

My sketches seem to be taking on a retro flair lately. Perhaps it's because of the trend in tv shows, between the new Pan Am and recently cancelled Playboy Club premieres I watched. Or it could be thoughts of John Galliano and Raf Simons channeling the 50s and 60s in their past and recent collections for Dior and Sander. And maybe a bit of Phil Noto, and his penchant for vintage-styled illustration. Or all of the above have just seeped in.

I didn't mind using rough, pronounced strokes for the contouring in this sketch. It just seemed apropos thematically.
