______________________________________________

The story of futurist illustrator Arthur Radebaugh is long and delightfully multi faceted.  It is well told in the recently completed documentary CLOSER THAN WE THINK, by filmmaker Brett Ryan Bonowicz and his production company CLINDAR, which made its well received debut at the Other World Austin festival and has gone on to be named  
BEST DOCUMENTARY at the recent massively major 
Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival 
and the Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival, as well as runner up at the Berlin SciFi Festival.  The film, which covers our rediscovery and reigniting of interest in Radebaugh here in Philadelphia as well as the fascinating narrative of his life and impact, can be viewed via Vimeo.  We recommend it!

My role, as an historian and rabid collector of unusual imagery, was to be in the right place at the right moment to acquire a lost portfolio of his work, and to recognize that here was someone worth snatching from obscurity and savoring every morsel of information we could find about this undeservedly obscure imagineer.

With my associate Jared Rosenbaum, we curated an exhibit that took form at exactly the pace we could fill in the blanks.  What was at the time the brand new internet connected us with others who knew him or knew his work, the method we take for granted nowadays, but absolutely thrilling in its newness and apropos to Radebaugh and the concept of ‘the future’.  The resulting exhibition was an international hit, thanks in large part to a world wide heads up given the rediscovered Radebaugh by Popular Science online.  Again, please capture the feeling if you will of yesterday’s future being promoted to the world by the sudden arrival of the future.  It was delicious!!!

The prints here at The Grand Review are selections from that exhibit, called RADEBAUGH, THE FUTURE WE WERE PROMISED.  The show traveled from Philadelphia  to The Utopiales Festival in Nantes, which proved a wonderful adventure for me, my wife Kristin Kimmell, Jared and his fiance, Rachel Mackow.

When it returned to the States, Jared Rosenbaum recurated the exhibit and took it to Detroit where it was given the honor of serving as the inaugural exhibit for the brand new facility for The National Automotive History Collection.

Next year, Chicago based design history author Tim Lapetino will present his book on the story of our favorite futurist, and we’re very much looking forward to it.  From Tim’s website… “I’m obsessed with exploring and understanding the creative process, and I love telling the stories of unheralded creative people who work beyond the spotlight.”

Over the next year, we will add a few more prints to the collection, mostly obscure and sometimes unacknowledged Radebaugh rarities we discovered and stashed away over these past 17 years of collecting.

Now, we are very happy to present this modest yet essential collection of extraordinary works by the rediscovered Arthur Radebaugh.

Enjoy!!!

A NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.

Every print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps.  The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands.  That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here.  See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”

There is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.

There is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.

Then there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road.  I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle!  So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.

This dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.

Comfortable and Stylish Shoes

These shoes are very comfortable and stylish. The quality feels great, and they fit perfectly. I can wear them for a long time without discomfort. They look elegant with both casual and dress clothes. Definitely worth the price and I would recommend them to others. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great Shoe
Size: 10.5 Wide, Color: Black Leather/Black
Great shoe! Especially for those that are on the move in a professional setting for a lot of the day. The only issue I’ve had with these so far are my shoe laces are warping. The shoe itself is holding up great.

A great purchase
Size: 10.5, Color: British Tan/Ivory
These shoes are very comfortable and attractive. Lots of people noticed them when I first wore them. I would not consider them the most dressy shoes you can buy, but they work for "business casual" and most other outfits (but not shorts).

All-Day Comfort for 10+ Hour Workdays. Finally Found a Pair That Holds Up
Size: 12, Color: Black Leather/Black, Size: 12, Color: Black Leather/Black
After years of trying different “comfortable” dress shoes, this is the first pair I’ve owned that I can wear for a full 10+ hour workday without counting down the minutes to take them off. For context, I’m a retail district manager. I’m on my feet most of the day walking stores, standing in conversations, moving constantly. I’ve owned Clarks, Rockport, and even higher-end dress shoes, and while some started out comfortable, none of them held up for an entire day without foot fatigue setting in. These Cole Haan shoes are different. What stands out: All-day comfort: No mid-day foot pain, even after long shifts. Solid construction: Genuine leather that takes and holds a polish well. Supportive sole: Noticeably helps with impact from constant walking. Great value: Performs better than shoes I’ve paid significantly more for. I also appreciate that they hit a nice middle ground stylistically; more business casual than formal, but still sharp enough for most professional environments. For additional context, I am a heavier individual and tend to wear down the outer (lateral) edge of my shoes first. That pattern holds true here as well. The only drawback: After about two months of wearing them 5 days a week (purchased January 7th), the sole shows more wear than I would expect at this point. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s the reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. I’ll be including a comparison photo between the worn pair and a new pair for reference. That said, I still expect to get around 8–10 months of use out of them, which at this price point is more than fair. Bottom line: If you need a comfortable, reliable, and reasonably priced work shoe for long days on your feet, these outperform just about everything else I’ve tried, and that’s why I bought a second pair.
