And now, to business....
A couple prop uploads - first, a set of Matchbooks advertising the Arkham Sanitarium, from HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. And because in the 1920s and 30s, smoking was a much more fashionable thing to do, a pack of Lucky Strike Cigarettes to light with your matchbook.
The Cigarette pack can be made a variety of ways. I was lucky enough to get expert help from an artist friend who helped me remake the pack. Her original file is located here, with an alternate here and a tax stamp for the alternate located here. A .pdf version of the alternate and tax stamp is also available by clicking this link. The pdf version has instructions for how to make it. The originals print better so I'd recommend using them rather than the .pdf version.
The matchbook contains the seal created by Oakree at Propnomicon for the utterly astounding Arkham Sanitarium project, the matchbook is available by clicking here.
Enjoy!
Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteI followed your link from Propnomicon; the matchbook looks great! Just FYI, the links to the cigarette pack, tax stamp, etc. require a Google account and when you do log in Google displays "Sorry, the page (or document) you have requested is not available. Please check the address and try again." - nice looking vintage pack in the pics though!

Thanks for letting me know - I went to google docs, and set the file access to "Public on the web - Anyone on the Internet can find and view" for everything.
ReplyDeleteHope it works for you now!
Very pretty. I'm always looking for neat matchbox props. They're always handy if I want to create an entire handbag prop.
