Hi,

I bought your CD sometime in 2002, and first of all I LOVE IT.

Second, I lost my hard drive & consequently lost the free fonts y'all sent me. Can you resend them?

I am kristin long and my address is kristin@kristinlong.com. phone 415.436.9920

thanks a million!

Subject: This is a huge find for me!!!

I need some assistance. I have been looking for retro ads like the ones on your site for ever!! I am a business owner of a "blast to the past" retail store. ( Or so I have been trying to accomplish a unique "blast to the past" theme!) Am I able to use the CD-Rom for printimg tee shirts,table cloths, purses...etc?...Or do you have any vendor ideas as to how I can wholesale purchase items with your amazing Retro Ad designs?
Any information would be appreciated! I do go to Markets for my products and have never been able to find anything close to what I want for my love of Retro Advertisements. I sell Mummert CO. Tin Signs with much success and would love adding more of that style produsts to my inventory.
I can provide you with all the nessasary information on my tax, resale, and business account information.
Thank you and looking forward to hearing from someone!!

Tony...you are a fuuuuuny guy! Except my girlfriend nearly had a heart attack when she read your reply. She thanks you for the clarification! And the font download. Your RetroArt is, if not the best, certainly a Top Five, no, top contender for "Best of the Internet"....most is real drek. I am a screen printer still crusing thru the 50's and living in the least populated county east of the Mississippi; I'll most likely have limited usage but, heck, that stuff is great! I'll screen myself some posters. Again, I appreciate the effort you guys have made to create this great package. Later, Dwight.

Hey...I ordered one (1) copy of RetroArt tonight (Wednesday, October 22, 2003) and inadvertly hit the submit button twice. It was not my intention to order two (2) copies, if, in fact, this is what happened. If you have any questions regarding this please e-mail me at dwightfile@yahoo.com <mailto:dwightfile@yahoo.com> . Thanks. DAF

 

Sorry Dwight, it's too late. You've pushed the button twice so you will be automatically dinged for $358.00. That's just the way it goes with this kind of thing. You'll just have to be more careful next time. Your two Retro Ad Art disks will be sent out immediately.

Greetings, Tony!

I am disappointed that the fonts were not on the CD. I'm the
make-the-damn-thing-work-on-the-pc girl, but my partner is the Mac guy. in
any event, for whatever reason, the mac (.sit) files you sent me, wouldn't
open on David's computer when forwarded from my pc. we have encountered this
problem before and don't know why the corruption occurs on a forward.

would you please send the fonts to him directly to him at:
email@davidpavelka.com

and if you're on a Mac, that would be peachier yet!

or, perhaps...is there a page on your website accessible to paid customers
where Dave can download the fonts directly from your site?

please advise. and thank you in advance.

cheers,
Kathy

Hi Tony,

that I could work with in pieces. Do I need another program altogether

To whom it may concern:

I'm interested in purchasing a copy of the "Retro Ad Art" CD, as adversited on your site (www.retroadart.com). But before I buy, I'd like to know what all I'm getting on the CD. I'm planning on building a website with a "50's/Vegas/Stardust" theme, and I really like the way your site looks.

For example, the "Samples" page on your website...I really like the background design with the funky green shape and the little stars...that's the look I'm going for. Is that type of stuff avaialble on the CD? Or is it just strictly just those black and white ads?

If I'm off-base as to what I would be getting on the CD, can you recommend any good sites/software/clipart galleries that would have graphics that would help me achieve the look I'm going for on my site?

FYI: Although your site says, "For Professional Usage"...I'm planning on using these graphics on a "just-for-fun" personal website (password protected - for myself and a group of friends). I have no profit-motive, AND I have limited funds (i.e. - my own!)

Subject: Re: Retro CD and fonts
From: Ed Picard <e.picard@shaw.ca>

I just want to say a quick hi and many thanks for sending me your wonderful CD! What an incredible resource to have at my fingertips!

Upon my first visit to your site, I was blown away by the amount and quality of the retro material offered, and your attention to how these images could creatively be manipulated was particularly impressive. That, as well as your guarantee to ship anywhere in North America within two days, proved to me that you were determined to go the extra mile with this product. Kudos!

One additional note:
After ordering the Retro Clip Art CD online, I received many of the free retro fonts advertised with the package. The "Stardust" font which I received, however, is not the font advertised on your site. I was (and am still) looking forward to using the actual Stardust font shown on your site, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could email it to me at this
address, if possible.

Thanks again!
