Karyn Jimenez Elliott's Matchbook: The Lost Billboard
Karyn Jimenez Elliott has created a gorgeous tribute to the art and design of matchbooks entitled Matchbook: The Lost Billboard. She hasn't just used scans of vintage matchcovers, she's created a well thought out, transparent overlapping collage of the iconic images from the golden era of matchbook design.
Do yourself a favor and check out Karyn's work on her website:
"The gradual death of matchbook art is similar to the loss of long-playing album art -- the format, printing process, and promotional purpose of these small billboards created a unique palette for graphic expression." Gene Gable
