Welcome to the New & Improved Free Retro Graphics   October 5th, 2010

"welcome to free retro graphics"

I decided to make Free Retro Graphics into a blog. With this format, I can tag and categorize all the images and clipart, and you–dear reader–can choose an image through either of those methods or by entering a term in the search box.

You’ll still be getting the same fifties stock images (all those happy housewives), fabulous ads from 1950s magazines & free retro clip art as before. I’ve also been making some retro backgrounds and will provide a link to them (I made a separate site).

It will take me a while to get everything up and organized, so bear with me. Once I relocate the pictures I’ve already uploaded,  I’ll be adding additional ads, clip art, fiction excerpts, etc., from a new stash of 1950s and (early) 1960s magazines. I’ll also be adding recipes and clip art from fifties cookbooks. The date range I’m focusing on is 1953 – 1963 (approximately).

Also, you can comment–tell me what you think, or if there’s a particular image you’re looking for that you can’t find, you can request it. Click on each image to get the larger one.

I’m looking for free clip art of those nifty retro stars and diamonds and other abstract designs. Anyone know where I can find them to use on my business card?
