1937 Gothic...


the year 1937 started on a Friday
 
 
the first issue of Look magazine went on sale in the US
 
 
Crystal City, Texas spinach growers erected a statue
of the cartoon character Popeye
 
 
Daffy Duck debuted in his first animated short
 
 
Hormel introduced their new product...Spam
 
 
and Mae West was banished from radio
for being a bit too risqué
 
 
the monogram frame is derived from 1937 artwork
the monogram is inspired by 16th century Gothic styles

Do you draw out your designs before you put them on the machine? I'd love to see your creative process in action.

Who knew that Mae West was even too much for radio?!! Gorgeous monogram. JS must be thrilled!!

Hope all is well with you and your brood of boys!
