Lürzer's Archive is still the best and largest online archive of international creative advertising. Find gazillions of famous, not so famous and wild and modern ad campaigns in there. 3:45:29 PM     |

Ironclad Ships. And now for some really weird ship designs. Here's the homepage of the CSS Merrimac (which is actually the CSS Virginia), and then we have the USS Monitor at The Mariner's Museum. Those ships look better than even the Nautilus, which can be found here: photos, blueprints, paintings, links. Amazing. 12:13:42 PM     |

Books and Art. Here's a gallery and database of Modern Library Dust Jackets and their Designers/Illustrators. Really nice stuff. Go and have a look. This section displays images sorted by known dust jacket designers for titles printed in the years 1928 through 1970. It includes pictorial, design, and non-boilerplate text styles found on flexie's and hardbacks, plus illustrated acetates and box images. Via speckled paint + via neurastenia. 8:15:23 AM     |
