I’m looking for a drawing of a fifties style housewife for a tattoo. Anyone have any ideas on where to find a cute one?
Wow! There are so many places you can look! Aside from just googling images, I’d suggest doing a search at DeviantArt (see url below) search in all their categories- theres a whole lot of artists there doing great fifities, retro and rockabilly inspired art. If you email them, lots will let you use their work for free! (Or in return for a pic of the finished tatt) There are also lots of stock images on there that people have collected which will work!
Secondly, try checking out the old newspaper and magazine archives from your local library. Most of the advertisments from the 1950s featured housewives, so you’d be sure to find some really cute drawings there!
Thirdly, and along the same lines, go searching through flea markets and op shops for old 1950s magazines- you can usually pick them up for $1 or so and they’re chock full of pictures!
Google it or visit some antique shops or second hand book stores.
