I just love Alain Grée‘s original drawing style, that is so much copied nowadays, trying to replicate the vintage feel.
As an author and illustrator of children’s books, Grée published over 300 books, mostly in the 1960s and 1970s. His books were translated around the world into 20 different languages.
N. Glaise was a painter in Paris. In 1882, he published a booklet with these gorgeous hand-painted alphabets as a guideline for hand-lettered signage on buildings.
I just love the look of these vintage alphabets and have already used some of them for inspiration in my lettering moodboards.

Last night I watched the 1960 original Ocean’s Eleven with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and the rest of the Rat Pack and although I have to admit it looks a little dated, you can’t beat the title sequence by the great Saul Bass.
