50’s and 60’s fair game, I assume? Trying to pin down which definition of mid-century modern we’re going with. Pop-Art included? ---

> [@SubBass49](#): > > 50’s and 60’s fair game, I assume? Trying to pin down which definition of mid-century modern we’re going with. Pop-Art included? When googling it, you get a lot of the tiki and bewitched style. One of my favorite artists fits in this category. > **[DerekArt - The Art of Derek Yaniger](https://derekart.com/)** > > Derek Yaniger is a mid-century modern artist drawing inspiration from the wild retro worlds of tiki, beatnik, jazz, rockabilly, burlesque and cocktail culture. I am sure that there is more than just this, since the OP talked about comic book art. Google “mid century advertising” to get a taste of some other styles. ---

Love love love this theme! Designers, I’m counting on you. I want to see some edges and angles, arches, starburst type things, kidney shapes, cowgirls, rock-a-billy, 2-D (perspective-free), diner neon sign designs! Please. ---
