I've tried to follow the links you've provided but I've been unsuccessfull in even finding the fonts you've listed on your site. Any advice you could give would be most appreciated. Thanks |

Subject: retro Hello, I was just cruising through your retro art site and enjoying every minute of it! However, I am hardly in the financial state to afford the (reasonable) price. Was wondering if you had any plans to put out a smaller collection perhaps? Also, I am planning on opening a retail website in the next year with a retro theme and wondered if you had wholesale pricing so that I could promote your product. Thank you for your time, |
Subject: WOW I saw your site, and I would like to know if possible, what classes I can take in order to learn this retro style. I absolutely love it. Love the site as well!!! Lynn Strauch |
From: Jay Haws Hello, I noticed that the link for retro photography, www.catcandu.com is redirected to mikrotec.com. Do you know if they have gone out of business? Do you know of any other resources? I am in desperate need of retro advertising photos. (By the way, I own your CD collection. Great stuff!) Thanks, Jay |
Subject: please Hello I loooovvvvee your retro stuff and would like to purchase the catalogue only i do not have a computer at home and no use for the software. Is it possible ????? Christine Beattie |
Hello there Retroart!!!! 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. |
HI. First of all, I love your site. Great
stuff. 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. |
To: info@adgraphics.com 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! Steve (sdsutherland@cs.com) |
From: Lara larosky@freemail.it Hi There! 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? Ciao, |

From: macroboy <macroboy@bellatlantic.net> Organization: macroboy To: info@adgraphics.com 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! thanks scott:) |

From: killianf <killianf@cyberis.net> To: info@adgraphics.com Subject: food and exercise 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, Francie Killian |

From: "James L. Johnson"
<jljassoc@flash.net> To: Adgraphics <info@adgraphics.com> 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. Jim Johnson -- James L. Johnson Associates, Inc. Security Planning Consultants 1363 Brooks Ave W Saint Paul, MN 55113 Office: 651-631-1213 FAX: 651-639-8867 |
From: "Shawn Hanna" <shanna@ipconline.com> To: "'Adgraphics'" <info@adgraphics.com> Tony - You really have a fantastic product. I hope awareness grows (which would go hand-in-hand with sales). Thanks again for your help. Shawn Hanna |
From: "Darryll Hall" <darkat@texramp.net> To: <info@adgraphics.com> Hello....Love your fifties art graphics collection. What I need however, is a collection of graphic illustrations in todays styles. Do you have or could you recommend one. Thank You.....Darryll Hall |
From: Scott Hall <seha@GNV.IFAS.UFL.EDU> Subject: squaresville To: info@adgraphics.com 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. Scott Hall |
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! MaryAnn Beane |
From: Lonnie Hale <h2creative@mindspring.com> Reply-To: h2creative@mindspring.com To: info@adgraphics.com Subject: Images This stuff looks great. However I am in need of some specific types of imagery. The theme is Muscle Beach. Can I see low resolution samples before I purchase the CD? Thank You Lonnie Hale H2 Creative |
From: Keri Abrams <abrams@utk.edu> To: info@adgraphics.com Subject: Enlarging RetroArt graphics? Hi -- I'm curious as to how to enlarge the small thumbnail-esque pics to a full-page size without the bitmap edging (the computer-ness). Can you explain to me how to do this on PhotoShop? Thanks!

From: "DJ STEW (Funky Fresh
Records/XMIX)" <djstew@earthlink.net> To: info@adgraphics.com Subject: 70-80's Hey, great site! I was wondering if you were going to do anything from the 1970's-1980's as far as "retro" art? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! |
Reply-To: craig@metacreations.com Organization: MetaCreations Corp. To: info@adgraphics.com Subject: More Clip Art I've got your "Retro Ad Art" collection.... extremely cool; getting a lot of milage out of it here at work. Any plans for additional collections of art from the same period or earlier? How 'bout photography? Anything at all, please let me know. Thanks, Craig Clevenger |
From: Angelica_Martinez@edelman.com
(Angelica Martinez) To: tony@adgraphics.com (Tony Bosley) Thank you for sending all the images via e-mail. We just received the CD and the catalog too! Just wanted to thank you for pulling through for us. Your patience and service level are to be admired, especially given the circumstances. Again, 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!

Sure looks good to us. Have
you had any bites? Talk to you soon.......

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. "Michael O'Hasson" <michael@idesignlabs.com> |

Art-Love it! Will we see Retro II? More, please! Great work, wonderful selection!

buenos morning: terrific looking
site - you guys did a great job putting it together. the ad art is equally
great. overall, an excellent job. i'll probably call later & order the
cd-rom but wanted to let you know how well i thought you did with the website
and how effectively it moved the product.
best. bill lanigan |
Dear Nancy,
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. Sincerely, Richard Harris |
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!
Regards- Gary Coles |
To: Tony Bosley,
Creative Director Ad Graphics 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. Jim Johnson |
Thanks for the follow up - I
did in fact purchase the CD probably the first week after the phones were
up and running. Great product.
Thanks! Jack Parriera Phone 206.521.4673 |
Wow!
What an amazing site! 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. Yours truly, Valery Anna Mitkos |
please e-mail your standard
