I make collages and word posters from vintage and retro illustrations and images in the public domain. Here’s my latest piece, ‘J is for Journey’.

Had a lot of fun making this one, a lot of good words that begin with J 😊

I actually had a J dinosaur on my list, but couldn’t find a useable illustration of one. I’ll check my lists, see if I can find it 👍

That left Jurassic; was struggling a bit to figure out how to illustrate that, until I came up with the park/ark pun. Obviously no illustrations of that, but I managed to collage one together from 5 different source images, and I’m very happy with the result 😁🦖🚢

Edit: there are actually a lot of dinosaurs that begin with J, but no luck with finding PD illustrations of any of them.

Dinosaurs are notoriously tricky in regards to public domain stuff, extremely slim pickings 😓🦕

Haha, I really like the Jurassic Ark and think you did a great job. I was just joking around. Great poster!

It’s one of my favorite parts of doing these, getting little puns and jokes in there — glad you noticed, that makes it all worth it! 😍 A lot of the little details go unnoticed 😅
