    Default 1920s Automobile Postcard

    "The Fielder" is a "car drawing" and "car brand" I made-up for the purpose of using as I wish. I used it in my drawing of the "Kent County Courthouse".
    I think this general imitation of a 1920s era postcard will look nice on my office wall with a black wooden frame.
    The postcard is 6"x4" and the white matting will be 10"x8".

    Terrific, Ron .

    EDIT: Looks like a old postcard alright. I kinda wonder though if the heavy card stock postcards are printed on if it would curl like that. It might but pr0bably not.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Nice Ron. This works better for me as a single image.

    Thanks Gary.

    Thanks Larry. Well, you know, time and careless handling are what do it. Look at actual photos of old postcards on the internet; some of them are pretty ruff. However, I think I did curl it a bit too much for that type of card. Maybe more of a slight bend than a curl would be more accurate.

    Great idea, Ron. I did the same for a couple of plane illustrations a while back. The texture and yellowing add to the image.

    Ron - You seem to have two threads going for the same postcard.
