Retro Inspiration from Artist Aimee Bee Brooks



NYC artist Aimee Bee Brooks has a real handle on retro style!
Her illustrations and patterns are fresh and fun - sketched in an airy way to leave us
feeling light and lifted, daydreaming of those carefree days in decades past.
Cat-eye glasses, chiffon scarves and calling our girlfriends on Princess telephones. 
A. b. B., you've got true talent!






















How about more of Aimee Bee Brooks?
