Like a lot of dudes my age, I'm totally in love with the old UPA animation aesthetic, both in major releases like Eyvind Earle backgrounds for Disney's Sleeping Beauty, and in small releases like Ward Kimball's super weird stuff. Below is a couple of samples of an ad layout that was eventually dropped in favor of something else I did, but I'm proud of the look just the same. The direction was 'Holly Golightly-1950's-girl-about town', and I think it's pretty successful.
