Subject: Looking for samples of swing-related retro clip art.
From: MsKHanover@aol.com

Hi!

Your clip art is fabulous!

I'm in the market for clips related to swing dancing and swing music. I'm looking for images to use on collateral for a non-profit swing dance society--anything from t-shirts to business cards to brochures to stationery to a web site. Could you send me the full details on your usage policies? I see a couple of samples on the site but I want to know how many more there are on the CD before I order. If you could send me some low-rez samples, that would be even better.

Thanks!

I've been using photoshop for a few years now, and I'm not incredibly experienced, I'm a novice user. I tried to find some graphics on the web so I could attempt to colorize them and acheive the same *iincredible* results you did.

The graphics were small 100 by 100 and everything I tried look incredibly pathetic. I'm not sure if having the high res graphics will make a difference - or if I'm just hideous at this.

179.00 is alot of money to spend - and I'm willing to spend it, if I know I can make some good images. Do you have any sample - doesn't matter what it is - high res image I can try out - if it looks good to me (after my colorization attempt) - then perhaps I *can* do it.

I'm not looking for free stuff, I'm just trying to see if your product will work for me. It can even be half an image so that you *know* I'm not trying to grab your image without paying.

Sincerely,

Lise

This was fun - I felt like I was doing high tech color crayon - I can *definately* see how the larger image makes a *huge* difference!
You'll probably be hearing from me - I'm selling some software on ebay so I could buy some clip art.

Your images are super-cool! I can't even imagine how you folks amassed such an authentic collection! I own a 1950's Diner and have been using your disc for years! Unfortunately, I purchased it before you added your fonts! Is it possible to get/purchase your fonts??? Just wondering...

Subject: more retro help???
From: "Lisa's Central Market" <customerservice@lisascentralmarket.com>

Hi Guys, we got your cdrom several months ago and LOVE IT!!!! WE have a produce market with a retro theme and the art is great for making in store signage. Thank you for such a fab collection. We need help finding metal signage of the "generic type" (no brand names), like many of the selections in your cd. "Fresh fish daily" "finest baked goods", stuff like that. The signs don't have to be metal, but we would like to get our hands on things like that for the store. If you could make any recommendations, that would be extremely helpful! My web searches only turn up brand-name signage, but there must be something out there, as I'm sure the art came from somewhere!
Also, if you could email those free fonts (pc), that would be great. If they come with downloading/filing instructions for dummies (who shall remain unnamed), that would be even better.
Again, thank you so much for your time and great style, I'm a
retro-lovin Betty and you guys are the most trick I've seen! -MINTA

Subject: Assistance
From: harbourj@att.net

Dear Ad Graphics,

First let me say that your Retro Ad Art CD is wonderful. It is really quality work and my client loves it.

The assistance I need is this. A few months ago when I purchased the CD for my client's website design I received the free font pack that you send as well. Since that time my computer literally melted! It was a Dell by the way...and I have recently purchased a
PowerBook G4. My problem is that the font pack was on the Dell and not yet backed up. Since my client wishes to use these fonts on her website, I am in a bind. I was hoping that you could resend me the fonts so that I might install them on the Mac.
I would be more than willing to give you any information that you need to authenticate that I purchased the CD. It should have been sent to this email address and the purchaser would have been Sara Krieger.

Thank you for your assistance.

HEY FOLKS

My wife Maryrose Porcelli bought me your retro clip art cd about a year ago, it is amazing... it has been helpful in promoting our own studio Bowhaus Design Groupe, which has a very nostalgic look. i was shopping around for more retro stuff(icons, fonts. etc.) and came across your site once again... i see you're offering free fonts now, with a purchase of the cd... is there any way i can get my hands on any of those, (stardust is paticularly nice), as i did purchase a cd way back in the day?
if this is possible, what do you need us to send your way in terms of proof of purchase?
thanks.

You have a great website and it looks like your clipart collection is fabulous. I am looking for just 5 or 6 retro images and cannot afford to buy all 1,865.

From: "FireHouse Services" <info@firehouseservices.com>
Subject: RetroAdArt CD

In reference to your product: I was wondering if the collection has a helping of either or both of the following 1)firemen, firetruck, fire station, etc type ads, and clipart and 2)dental related ads and clip art.
Your collection looks terrific, by far the most unique stuff I've seen available but the price is a bit steep for a beginner like me. Before I purchase it for a job I have I needed to make sure its content encompasses items 1 and/or 2. If you do not have any or much of the fire related items I was wondering if you might know of a place that I might locate some art in
the same era and subject that is available elsewhere. HavanaStreet is not gonna cut the cake, its all clip art and I LOVE your ads! Thanks.

Subject: Free Fonts
From: Andy Brown <createk@btclick.com>

Hi I bought your clip art collection a couple of years ago & have found it very useful. I see you now offer free fonts to buyers of the C.D. As it is such a long time ago, I can't remember if I gave you registration details, but the disc was shipped to me at :

London

Can you pls check your records to verify that I bought the disk, & if so, can I have the free fonts? If necessary I can scan the Cd cover & send it to you as an attachment....
The invoice/receipt will be with my accountant.
Hope you can help....
if so, you can send the fonts as e-mail attachments (Mac format)

Hi Tony —

Thanks for all your help on this wild goose chase. Unfortunately harstock.com didn't have what we were looking for either, but I appreciate the lead. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to find Airstreams...So glad I found your site, for your images are great and will definitely keep it in mind for upcoming projects.

Hello,
I love your site! It's perfect timing for a current project I've got. My question is do you offer the ability to purchase individual images, or just the entire collection at this time?
Also, I want to ask about the Retro fonts you offer with the purchase of the CD. Are the fonts on the CD or do I have to add that in my order?

Thank you!

sirs,

I am interested in your purchasing your cd. I love the look of the graphics. I need some graphics for a very specific project - mechanical images: workers (probably more general than auto mechanics, though that could work too), tools (large wrench, hammer?). Something along the lines of the support the war, pro-industrial posters from the 40's. Rosie the riveter, etc.

If you can supply any low res. or thumbnail images along these lines from the cd, I can probably go ahead and buy it. I'd just like to be sure that there is something there that I can use.

thanks,

To: Adgraphics <info@adgraphics.com>


Dear Tony-

Thank you soooo much! For "thrown up" backgrounds (I made that sound horrid!) they are wonderful and really add to the whole theme/concept of the Retro Ad Art website and compliment your product so well. My designers and I are so excited to be able to use your wallpaper!!!

We would be proud to show you the VintageBlendDesigns.com site when it's done since it incorporates so much of your "stuff." Please let me know to which specific e-mail address we can send a notification/link to my site when it's done!

I really do think your site looks fabulous--please pass the compliment to the appropriate people. It gives me a good, happy feeling when I go there. That's how I want my customers to feel when they visit my site. I believe that that feeling is generated from the subtle colors, shapes, and lots of "white space" in a site, that don't detract from the product. Your site has great examples of all of these things, plus I love your product. Your product and the way you have showcased it in the site are definitely in harmony with one another, and that's what makes it very appealing. The "technical"aspects of your site work well too. It's easy to move around in.

If you can e-mail the compressed file, could you e-mail it to me at:
marthaz1@home.com, and directly to one of my designers, Julie Horner at:
julie@puttinontheweb.com. If e-mailing doesn't work, just let me know what I need to do to get it from you safe and sound. I can't say Thanks enough! This means so much to me, and I appreciate your kindness.

Dear Ad Graphics:

I purchased your collection of Retro Ad Art a few years ago and I want to tell you this product outshines anything like it anywhere. I often visit your website to get ideas, look for updates, and frequently just for enjoyment. I am a fan of this particular area of art and pop culture, and I am hoping you can answer a couple of questions for me.

I noticed that currently, purchasers of your CD-ROM receive a collection of free retro fonts in addition. This offer wasn't available when I purchased, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask if I might also receive this bonus as a past customer.

Also, I saw a list of recommended retro fonts on the portion of your site entitled "Editing Images" (Avant Garde, Base Nine, Benguait Frisky, Bernhard Modern, etc. ) Are these standard fonts names, and where would I go to find them? I was unsure if this was a list of fonts suggested and collected from various sources, or if these fonts were available in the Retro Ad Art collection.

Any help you can give is much appreciated. In any event, please know you have built a very interesting and impressive concept, product and website.

Sincerely,

Gregg Whiteker

Hi. I love your editable (Is that a real word?!) retro ads! However, I am rather new to editing graphics. Would you mind telling me a bit more about how you added color to the "fella" in your explanation of how the ads can be edited? I use Paint Shop Pro 7, which I know is different from Photoshop, but I think they have pretty similar functions. Anyway, I don't quite understand what you mean in your explanation.

I love your images.

I am using FrontPage 2000 and Fireworks 3 (and maybe moving into Dreamweaver 3).

I am also not the most sophisticated graphics developer/user in the world. What should I have to do to make your images appropriate for the low-res web manipulation?

If I want to colorize and use some transparency, do I have to use a sophisticated graphics tool to vectorize the images first? Is there an easier way?

Thanks for helping me figure out how I could incorporate your great reto look into my House Concert web pages.

To whom it may concern,

I know this is a long shot, but a girl can dream, right? Would you consider discounting or donating a copy of your Retro Ad Art CD to a desperate deco loving bride-to-be.

Here is my story: I'm planning a 1930s art deco themed wedding and am I am trying to design a unique and interesting wedding invitation but can't seem to find any cool deco images to top each invitation item. Then I came across your web site and it is my dream come true- but as with every other good thing, there is a catch. Unfortunately, I can't afford to spend $179 to get these images.

I don't work in graphics, publishing, advertising or any other field that would give me other uses for this after the wedding, so I have resorted to begging. Please help me if you can. If there is anything I can do to persuade you, let me know.

Thanks for your consideration. And you do have the absolute coolest collection of clip art on the web, hands down. Excellent work!

To: "Adgraphics" info@adgraphics.com

Do you guys look AMAZING!!! I'm the co-publisher of a national magazine called ATOMIC, the essential guide to retro culture. I would love to get one of your CD Roms but I want to make sure you don't have any clauses for usage in editorial publications. We're always happy to provide credit lines, but BOY OH BOY would your artwork look fantastic in our publication. If there's any way we can work out a reduced price for all the exposure, that would be cool too.

Please e-mail me at jrgriffith@mindspring.com and let me know if we can work something out. Then we'll be partners kinda. We're a great way to reach those retro cats who love this stuff as much as we do. And we'll keep sending them your way.

Hope it all works out.
Thanks!!!

HI. First of all, I love your site. Great stuff.
To: info@adgraphics.com

I am looking specifically for a clip art image of a lady cleaning or of a clip art that looks like a "housewife". Is there a keyword search that you (or I) can do to find this on your site? And, do you even sell individual images?

Thanks.

Great site!I am putting together a site and on top of using some of this retro art, I was also, looking for some Western or ranch type theme art? Do you have any in this CD? Also, are your backgrounds part of the CD or is that something I need to purchase extra?|

Thanks, and again, Great Site!

Hi There!
i am interested in ordering your CD-rom and catalogue on CLIPART from the 40's and 50's.

Would it be possible for me to order from Italy with a european credit card or can we arrange for a C.O.D or International money order?
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
I really enjoyed your web site!

Ciao,

Good afternoon;
I have been searching for an image of a man and women in bathing suits beside a pool for a small interior bus add. The image needs to resemble the 1930's to 1950's. This project has a limited budget and the cost of the CD does not fall into it. Is it possible to view more images and to purchase individually?

Great job on the CD!

Hi, I don't want to waste your time, but I was wondering if you could recommend a place on the web where I could get high quality clip art. I purchased your collection a few months ago and love it. And I've followed some of the links on your site, but am swamped by the choices...

Thanks in advance, T

Hello! I am sorry for taking so long to reply. Thank you for all your help! I love the images. I set a meeting date with my customer for Friday of next week (it got delayed). If I make a deal with him, I will most definitly buy your cd. If not, I will have to wait a few more weeks till I can get paid again. I really do like the samples you gave me and I look forward to getting the cd when I can. Thanks again for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Cool Site, and a great product. I am a fanatic for the ultra cool 50's stuff.

Just wondering though, how did your vectors turn out so accurate ? As an artists I create my own bitmaps, and need to put them on an upcoming web site.

Any hints, tips, or good products you know of, would be helpful.

hi:
i saw your website and think your retro ad art collection looks fantastic. I know a little about copyright law from some research I've done so I'm wondering how you deterimined these images were okay to use (I'm assuming they were public domain).

Yours is the first collection of this type I've seen and it looks great.
I think I'll have to order it!

Hello!

I must join the club and say your art and website are very impressive. I am specifically looking for "Jetsons" type clip art - that is, art made from 1950s people's conceptions of what life would be like in the year 2000. You know, robot maids, flying cars, moving sidewalks, etc..

Is there any such art in your collection? I would appreciate any help you
could give me.

Thank you,

Hi! i love your images!! I'm communications director for a health care workers union in Pennsylvania and am looking for some really nice retro union art.  Do you know of any online or would you consider any commissions?  We're looking specifically for images of labor solidarity and anything health care related...will consider some industry related sources as well.  We need the images primarily for our web site but we're also considering commissioning an original poster for our 25th anniversary in July.
 
Please let me know if you have any ideas or do consider commissioned work.

Hello, I am going to be developing a Website very soon, with the domain name, Nutritionists.com. Does your cd contain food art and images like the sun, fruit, and scenes of people exercising? As a child of the fifties, I love this style, it's classy and very cheerful. I want to use images like these in my website and promotional materials. I also know I want to develop a logo from them. I will order if you have a good variety of health and nutrition related images, do you?

Sincerely,

Hi Again Tony:

In all the years I've used Macs, I've rarely used their graphics capabilities. What a shame, but that will now change with my new iMac. it's a great machine compared to all the rest I've used through the years.

So, I'm going to work with the Retro Ad artwork & incorporate it into my documents. I've written a travel security book & am going to use the artwork as icons for chapter headings, & of course, for the title page/cover.

The use of this type of graphics material is highly unusual for security consultants. But, I prefer to be different from the crowd. And so do my clients, I guess.

Hello,

I'm a big fan of your Retroad art page. I think you might like the original art at my page http://www.squaresville.com

It's got full color original "retro", "deco" and 70s "cubist" style clipart, plus fonts and more. I'd love to get a link on your page, and know if you might want me to contribute some art. I look forward to hearing from you.

hello! Great site. Very easy to follow. One thing tho. As an Art Director in an ad agency, I cannot just pick up the company credit card and order any CD I want. I must first "sell" the ideas to my Creative Director. THEN, he may let me purchase the product...if the client likes the comp. SO. What would help us art directors out is...put a LOW RES version of ALL the art on your site. So that we may do SEARCHES to see if you even have art that we can use.

For example. I am looking for a retro woman who has an angry face. I cannot purchase your CD, tho I know that you probably have it, becase I cant be sure.

Thanks!

Hi gang:

I'm working on a project for some interior wall murals and *LOVE* your stuff! However, I need to put together a small presentation of my concepts to my boss and it would help a great deal if i could get some examples to show.

could you e-mail me back a couple ads and "snappy sayings" ? or perhaps faxing?

It would be appreciated. THANKS!

Hello. I am the online editor of a new commercial Web site we're launching on June 1st.

We love your Retro Ad Art clipart package and are considering purchasing it. I just want to check on the requirements for using your art throughout our site. Would we need to credit you?

Also, would your company be open to some sort of deal where we provide you with ad space and/or hyperlinks in trade for art?

Thanks

Person X <personx@hotmail.com>


Tony....

Thanks for the quick information. I appreciated you checking on it for me. We like your collection, and are recommending it for inclusion in the project we are working on. The main reason I was curious if the clips were yours was because I was wanting to find some clips of individuals rather than complete ad layouts. I couldn't tell from your sample pages whether or not "retro people" would be on the CD ROM, although we could possible extract a number of them from the full layouts. I have looked at the Havana Street material, but liked yours better.

Thank you for the CD of retro ad art - as you can tell, it's a hit here at Wacom already. You folks have done a fantastic job of cleaning and restoring some gorgeous artwork. I also visited your web site, and I really enjoyed your eclectic styles and refusal to fit into any particular pigeonhole.

I'm glad you enjoy our tablets - I'll certainly enjoy your retro art.

Hi...what a great collection of art! Can't wait to get my grubby little hands on the collection...however, I need to know what your usage policies (royalties etc.) are before my company decides to purchase. I couldn't find the info on your site. Thanks and I hope to hear from you REAL SOON!

Thanks very much for your reply to my question. As I said before, the Retro Ad Art is TERRIFIC! I am a security consultant & have just written a book for Travel Security For The Business Traveler. Sounds boring, but it's been well received by some of my large clients. In fact, it could sell world-wide.

I found some of your artwork, airplanes, hotels, taxis, etc., to be PERFECT for my chapters. My book is different from every other that's been published, for security. I took an entirely different direction for the text, so that people actually read it, & enjoy it.

Well, I'm rambling. The retro art is ideal for the work I've done, because I've tried to be different. As is your art.

So, I'm getting a copy of Photoshop to try to fit the ads as icons for chapters & sections. Again, I can't tell you how terrific they are, & perfect for me.

I will probably need your help as I make progress.

And I WILL be certain to give credit for any work that is included in the final design. I've never done this before, so it's exciting & I'm sure you'll be pleased with our application of your work.

My name is Valery Anna Mitkos, I own a company called VAM! Marketing Design Communication. I have always been fascinated by the glam and aerodynamic era of the 30's 40's and 50's....my company logo and image reflects my passion for the swank days of swing, cocktails and leopard print.

I am in the process of developing my website and would like to use some of the sample clip art you have posted on your site. I would be absolutely thrilled if you were to permit me to use your clip art, and in return and I will provide a link from my site to yours with a BIG mention of where the wonderful art came from.

Please let me know if this would be acceptable, also, is there anywhere else I can obtain some cool clip art, especially animated gifs, that are tied into the retro theme?

My new email address is valery@vam.org. The current address will expire on Jan 17/98.

All the best for a wonderful and prosperous new year.
