Vintage Air Hostesses

Vintage Air Hostesses
The first female flight attendant was a 25-year-old registered nurse named Ellen Church, she was hired by United Airlines in 1930. In the United States, the job was one of only a few in the 1930s to permit women, which led to large numbers of applicants for the few positions available. Female flight attendants rapidly replaced male ones, and by 1936, they had all but taken over the role. They were selected not only for their knowledge but also for their characteristics. In the United States, they were required to be unmarried and were fired if they decided to wed. A 1936 New York Times article described the requirements:
“The girls who qualify for hostesses must be petite; weight 100 to 118 pounds; height 5 feet to 5 feet 4 inches; age 20 to 26 years. Add to that the rigid physical examination each must undergo four times every year, and you are assured of the bloom that goes with perfect health.”

There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane…” Air Hostess

Pencil Shavings Art Work by Marta Altés

Marta Altés (Barcelona, 1982), studied graphic design in Barcelona and after working there as a graphic designer for almost five years, Altés decided to pursue her interest for illustration. The artist moved to England and joined the MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art.
Such a simple idea, but illustrator Marta Altes has made it into an artsy series of work, pencil shavings at its finest.

“The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser – in case you thought optimism was dead.” Robert Brault

Oh, Hi! the Awkward moment

Oh, Hi! is just about as fresh and likeable as it sounds. It´s basically a series of illustrations by Turkish artist Berk Senturk that presents some pretty awkward meetings between superheroes and other famous pop culture icons (some related and some not so). The “pairings” include Edward Scissorhands and Wolverine, Marty McFly and the Terminator (early years), Freddie Kruger and The Ghostbusters, between others.
Berk describes the series as “some unfortunate coincidences”, and himself as someone who “thought I was ‘the last son of Krypton’ from a young age, but I discovered that I was not ‘Superman’. So, not to be frustrated the rest of my life I have supported the design and publication of the comic “Star Wars” and “Umbrella Academy” for the publishing house JBC in Turkey. I also wear a mustache for 8 years.”
So much fun! Oh, Hi!  the Awkward moment

Great Movie clichés illustration pics

Launched in 1999, the New York International Latino Film Festival (NYILFF) is now the premier Urban Latino film event in the United States. The NYILFF’s mission is to showcase the works of the hottest of the hottest emerging Latino filmmaking talent in the U.S. and Latin America, offer expansive images of the Latino experience, and celebrate the diversity and spirit of the Latino community.
When the New York International Latino Film Festival wanted to get their point across that movies and films are drastically different, they worked with Wing Agency in New York to create some hilarious posters that make fun of movies. Simply put, they made movie clichés, graphs and charts that show actions or ideas which are expected or predictable, based on our prior experiences.

“Some movies are easy to make. Films are a different story” Alvaro Naddeo
