Vintage Men's Publications

I collected this set of vintage men's mags as I was concepting for a client project that focuses on outdoor life. It seemed the cover art revolved around run-ins with devious animals and tribal villains alike. Article lead-ins lured you in to consider some of your sexual ponderings, whether they were culturally acceptable or not.

Feature stories illustrate ladies in distress - a classic men's fantasy that runs strong with international appeal. Apparently, it was common to fight for your love just outside of a really nicely designed living space with modern furniture, mid-century modern, or course. They seem to bridge the gap between indoors and outdoors bringing jungles and waterways to the edge of a room.

Although, you also have struggles with your more natural elements, like wind, in the case. 

It's not all hard times in this day and age. Below is an illustration of a nice day on a riverboat. Complete with partially nude girls running around without a care in the world, and consequently, men asserting their dominance with grins from ear to ear. This is a somewhat familiar scene I can gladly say. Ever been to Devils Cove in Austin, TX for the 4th of July? God Bless America, and it's creative illustrators.
