These don’t happen too often – they’re fairly complex undertakings – but I’ve just added a new Retropolis poster<\/a> to my Celtic Art & Retro-Futuristic Design<\/a><\/em> site.\n<\/p>\n<\/a>\n

\nThis scene – a sort of car show of the Future That Never Was – showcases one of the rockets I modeled for my Empire State Patrol <\/em>project. Here I changed its color and dropped it into a variation on the scene I built for my “Skin A Scion” contest entry at Deviant Art.\n<\/p>

\nThe poster<\/a> (18 by 24 inches at 300 DPI) mixes some older and newer characters together, and its title – “If I Only Had Wings, I’d Fly” – marks the second time I’ve named a picture with a quote from Nat Gonella’s “It’s a Pair of Wings for Me”, which still swings after about 66 years. Love that song – and in fact, though I’ve never known how many people noticed, almost all my Retropolis<\/a> pictures use titles or quotes from popular music of the twenties through the forties. If you figure out why, you can explain that to me.<\/p>\n\n<\/a>\n\n

The poster<\/a> is available now. An archival print<\/a> should be available in a few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
