Secret Fun Spot: retro graphic and industrial art gallery
Secret Fun Spot is a treasure trove of mid 20th century advertising, toy, and industrial art. Be sure to check out the section on Marvin Glass, the genius game designer who made Ants in the Pants, Dynamite Shack, Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots, Gnip Gnop, Hands Down, Haunted House, Lite Brite, Odd Ogg, Operation, Mouse Trap, Time Bomb, Tip-It, and Toss Across, among other masterpieces of primary-colored plastic. Mr. Glass, unknown to me until today, was responsible for shaping much of my appreciation for pop art. The site's design is fun, but I wish the pictures were bigger. Link
