Musical Interlude: I've been binge-listening to Janet Klein's musical oeuvre in my car...I love her so. She's a songstress who does songs from 1910s, 20s, and 30s, and has a blast doing so. Here's a slightly naughty song from the 20s that makes me giggle.

"How Could Red Riding Hood" performed by Janet Klein and Ian Whitcomb.

I think this postcard is American, but I'm not positive. There is no information at all on the postcard. Cute image of a little girl with her dog, who's begging.

Final photo of the day, just because I love her. One of my favorite antique/vintage photos. Doesn't she look like a little stinker?

Sometimes, making a fun image is more about compositing rather than rendering a full image. In here, only the woman and the moon are 3d models. The rest is 2d postwork. I was aiming for the 1920s vibe with this one, and I was happy how it turned out.
