the portable polyphoniczoetropeophone

I was thinking of this as some sorta portable audio video device. Maybe like an antique DVD player. A grammophone mixed with a zoetrope can provide entertainment for entire minutes. I added straps to the horn to make it "portable."

I wanted to make it look like those old drawings of inventions back in the day. I was actually gonna do it up in orthoscopic blueprint-like views but I remembered I hate drawing parallel lines...

The Apple advertising has left such a strong impression on me - it was impossible for me not to choose their product to parody. Really - I tried to think of something else - but I couldn't get this image out of my head. I figured an iPod ad in 1900 would still be fairly plain, but the iPod itself would be a little more elaborate. Perhaps it would be a single song on a record that you could carry around with you. On the absurd end, you would tend to a mini furnace with tiny coals and shovels to keep it operational.

Bully for Vintage Advertising!
Outsider Art Club, session 112

Nice job this week with Kurt's theme, everybody. Here's Mandy's theme:

Bully for Vintage Advertising!

It’s the 1900’s. The Art Nouveau style was at its peak, the industrial age was in full swing with a culture of consumerism, and advertisements were popping up everywhere.

But how would our modern-day electronics and fads be represented back then? How would an i-pod or “MacIntosh’s Isotope Podding Device “ be advertised in the 1900’s? Feel free to design these things true to the era, y’know made of wood or having turning cranks, iron knobs, moustaches….

Ladies and Gentlemen, retrieve your graphites and get to drafting!
