More nouveau GO...

Jan 25, 2009 18:58

Here are two more art nouveau ads that I found that pertain somehow to GO. (Though nothing can top the first one I posted, I think.) The first is a girl with a snake and an apple and the second is George P. Humphrey "the old book man" Aziraphale, perhaps?

Loved those Art Nouveau pictures! And Eden pictures = love for all GO fans!

That Cornish ad thing was uncanny - I mean, a snake with an apple, fine, but that snake was also wearing shades... And that one with Azi and snakeCrowley, well, I think Aziraphale would be embarrassed, because the angel certainly does look female...

Those shades are perfect! I want the first pair. XP I can just picture Crowley wearing the second pair, with a serpentine smirk forming beneath it... *sigh*

Thanks so much for sharing!

Yeah, Eden pics are nice. Thanks for the

Yeah, I know. A snake with sunglasses. Hmmmm. xD

Apparently, I looked that pic up, the angel is supposed to be a male, even though it looks female. Poor Azi. xD

I know, I want both pairs just because. I know. I may have to one day draw him in those shades. Hee. You're welcome, Roobi! <3

I love the sunglasses! Oh, how I wish I had the facial structure to pull of cool shades. (My cheekbones are too high, bizarrely enough.) The first art nouveau poster is really, really pretty, as well.

I wish I had the glasses too, even if I couldn't pull them off. Just to have them lol. I do have several pullovers I think Azi would wear, and a tartan flask. Yes. A TARTAN flask. xDDD

Thanks for the comments!

I totally have those sunglasses. B) (The second pair.) When I saw them, I immediately thought of Crowley and just had to get them. unfortunately, they're too big for my face so I can't really wear them.

Also, for some awesome art nouveau(-ish) pictures, I'd suggest you look at the American Motor or Motor World magazine covers of the early 20s and 30s. Not sure if you can view them online, but my father sells old ads on ebay and those covers have always caught my eye.

Oh, I'm jealous! Where did you find them? *wants some* ^_^

Thanks for the tip, I will do that. ^_^ <3

I got them at an EVERYTHING $10 OR LESS store with a gigantic plaster mermaid on the front of it in Orlando, Florida. Either that or it was the one with the wizard. I think they sell the same things, anyway.

Needless to say, they're knockoffs. xD

Glad to be of service. (If you can't find any of the covers through searches, I could probably scan some of the covers, by the way.)
