Mambo for Cats

Posted on September 27 2017

Presenting "Mambo for Cats" 🐈  an homage to one of my all time favourite album cover designers - Jim Flora!

For those unfamiliar with his work, Flora was a powerhouse on the po-mo design scene in the 50s and 60s. You may not know his name, but you've probably seen his work. His 1955 cover for the compilation Mambo for Cats is a great example of his wacky style. Hope you dig! 🎶😉
