It’s Gus, as a 1960’s Ken! I got really inspired by the fabulous 1980s-style Barbie and Ken illustrations that people have been creating on Instagram, for the #sparemoonbarbiechallenge, so I decided to make a picture of Gus from my own personal favorite era of Barbie fashion illustration! I adore the early Barbie and Ken catalog illustrations and box art, where you can see the stylistic influence of the wonderful Rene Gruau!
I couldn’t leave Lucian out of the vintage Ken project, so here is Gus’ albino cousin as 1960s Allan!
I also reinterpreted a few more classic 1960s Ken fashion illustrations, with a couple of today’s awesome and inspiring miniature instagramers: @adrian.dollslife and @stovallthedoll
