Time for some fun, illustrative highlights from Your New Home and how to take care of it... Another in the fabulous, long line examples of the helpfully handy, midcentury booklet where mom pops in a few times to do some hollerin', thus leaving dear old dad as the sole star of the show. See how easily he annoys the repairman, drowns the bushes, and trips over some roller skates. Proof once and for all that anyone (yes, even you!), can smoke a pipe, seed the lawn, and balance that darn budget. Lovely, simple line art with perfect paint splash backgrounds such as this is slowly becoming the most forgotten art form of all. Compare any of the classy cute imagery below to the way/s modern design has "progressed", and you'll see exactly what I mean.

You are so right about this art form being all but forgotten, but it sure is fabulous! And so many kajillion times better than the AI slop affronting my eyeballs everywhere else I look these days đŸ™ˆ That’s why imma keep my eyeballs right here on AEET where they can rest on the these fab renderings. I love his groovy graphic shirt and the pipe smoke billowing so lazily I can practically smell it. Thanks for sharing and making this one home sweet home for us all!
Have to ask: what’s your favorite outfit on this missus here?
I pick up these brochures all the time at estate sales, I love them. It always amazes me that someone hung onto them that long. And the art is always great. I'm always reminded how that's a lost industry now.
Same. It really astonishes me how quickly we lost basic design principles when software came along and democratized the process. Hundreds of years of best practices were tossed out the window as visual upstarts began re-re-re-inventing the wheel all the time under the presumption that any evolution was progress. Or something. So how the heck is Al supposed to be worth any kind of toot, when all it's got to learn from is twenty years of bad internet aesthetic?
I know, I'm old fogeying.
Great booklet, by the way. I love the recursive cover and all the clothes. I dig the way the actual subject of the work--the home--is illustrated in such a way that boils out any need to, you know, do the heavy lifting of technical drafting or crafting two-point perspective. Genius.
I have way too many to count in my collection as well. Guess I need to buy a couple hundred thousand more!
Old fogeyin’ is my jam
"How to add a room?" This idiot can't even mow the lawn! I doubt adding a room will be anything but a disaster of biblical proportions!
