greenolive: classic ABC illustrations

in case you were wondering

Hello, thanks for stopping by. I'm a graphic designer by trade and am trying to build a creative life that will financially support me. My passions include fabrics, paper and print - and I design and hand make a range of accessories, fabrics and paper products. I live on the coast south of Melbourne, Australia with my husband. Almost daily walks on the beach keep me inspired to create.

classic ABC illustrations

You can't get more classic than this!

Classic colour combo – red and black.

Classic style – textured line drawing.

Classic subjects – Circus and Zoo.

I just love everything about these! I'm tempted to keep them for myself.

These fantastic vintage illustrations are from a 1955 children's book: ABC, 123. I've just uploaded them to the retroprint etsy shop and I don't think they'll last very long!
