Le Roi du Junkyard

My melting pot of vintage photos, paintings and prints, old advertisements and illustrations, musicians, movie stars and models and the huddled masses of the mainstream... The Quirky, Quaint and the Kitschy. Stuff I like...

My posts tend to be random in nature according to what happens to find me at the moment.
