Second in my Art Deco Travelogue series. To recap, I absolutely love Art Deco travel posters, so I wanted to create a series of wallpapers of travel posters for the Anime world. This one features the Fast - Friendly - Fuzzy service of the Cat Bus from My Neighbor Totoro. I visited the Studio Ghibli Museum in Mitaka last month. One of their exhibits is a Cat Bus where large enough for children to play in, and stuffed to the gills with little soot-balls. It was very awesome, and I wanted to make a wall of the Cat Bus. Based off of a scan, but redrawn in Art Deco style, so more curves and gradients and less details. Simple background to complement, and a frame. The framing is different in the widescreen vs fullscreen walls because that's just how the image worked. Wouldn't you want to ride the Cat Bus to work?

I like the idea =D Also cat bus is always win lol. Nothing much to say, since it's so simple, but great job you did there!

Zomg I really like the style and soft faded colors/gradients you used. Looks just like one of those old posters! If you wanted to make it more poster-like you could have added a light paper texture, because it's so clean. But not that the cleanliness is a bad thing. :D

Love the vector and the typo in the right corner is just great, it really looks like those old advertisements from the 70's/80's. +

My Neighbor Totoro is one of Miyazaki's great works and I think the cat bus is one of its best "characters". I'll definitely want to ride this cat bus! And by the way I'm amazed at your good vectorization.

This is adorable. I don't think I understood what Art Deco was before, but I guess now it gives me the impression of vector-like advertising? The little tab at the bottom left could use some more styling (besides a white rectangle) I think, but I really love the background with the cat. He's just always smiling XD.

Amazing wallpaper. It makes me want to watch Mad Men, I am digging the old school advert feel you gave it. The simple shading and Art Deco style works fantastically well. It really reminds me a lot of this poster, which I had on my wall when I was at Uni. Great job and an instant fave!

This is amazing! I really want to get a poster-sized one printed for my house. Is there any way we could make that happen? We could use a website like http://www.vivyxprinting.com/, I could paypal you and then have the printer drop ship it to my address. Or if I could buy the vector from you for personal use that would be great too.
