DANGER WOMEN

this is an invitation I designed and arted for some Brooklyn ladies.
They gave me free range to do as I wished, and I told them I wanted to do a pulp cover film noir poster treatment

this is the completed postcard front image

 this is a detail of the ink drawing I did of model Stephanie that was later digitally composed into the invite

as you can see, I borrowed some of the dress (and general mood) from this old shot of Rita Hayworth

and for Shannon's hair I lifted this hairstyle from an old photo of Veronica Lake

this is the Postcards backside

the typeface is called Betty Noir

the Franks

variations on a theme, portraits of the super funny Frank Liotti
