Illustration from the past still fascinates many people including myself so it was a joy to come across some great illustrated ads from the 50s. The two wonderful illustrations here are from the mid 50s from unknown artists which is a shame as I would love to see more of the artists illustrations.

James Yang is a well renowned and respected designer and illustrator who works has appeared in many major publications. His retro style art caught my eye immediately. The thing I like the most is the use of the colours in each piece, they work great together with his illustration style. Check out the James Yang website and James Yang blog.
