I have heard of Ricky ties before. Probably because Ricky and Andre were responsible for quite a few of the hand painted nude ties of the era.

Another fantastic handpained by "Linde". I've come to the conclusion that Linde was one of the best of the handpainters of ties in CA.

There were several nice ties by him but there were also some other artists such as J. Galet and others:

Better than what artists pint now out here. Those Che on velvet just ain't exactly the same thing.

An egregious example of the kind of casual racism of the era.

That is pretty bad, even for then. Good thing it's not too large of an image.

Yes, Linde had some beautiful ones.

Another autumnal tie. No labels, but with a hand scrawled "hand painted by …" on the liner of the fat end. Can't read the artist name.

Those autumnal leaf ties were very common at the time; I think I've got at least four of them, but in different colors...

One of the few non-vintage ties that I own (and would actually wear)...This was made by what appears to have been a local company called Angel Eyes Design. I found 4-5 of them at the local Goodwill, with original price tags still on them. The fabric (which has a cotton feel to it) is thin, and the red diagonal piece is actually sewn on to the rest of the tie. c.1990s(?).

Probably newer than that but it could be that old with the old name on it:

^^Yeah, it might be of later date; it's kind of hard to pin down. So they were located in Washington state...

Yes, if it was made here then it would be a handpaint of Che.
It is made vintage style though so you did ok.

I have some Galets, but this one is totally different in style than the ones I have (they are the widest ties I own, too.)

Flying Quail (?) by Linde.

I am sorry folks. I still think 99% of all hand painted ties are ugly [huh]
I am an illustrator and graphic designer so I should all be FOR hand painting and drawing but not really.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

they're certainly an acquired taste, that's for sure …

I've never stated it before, but I have to agree. They don't appeal to me at all. Too ... craftsy or something.

I will defend to the death, however, the rights of those who choose to own and even wear them.

^^Thank you...

Another great example. Are these two Linde ties yours, Baron?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yes, I bought them from eBay a couple weeks ago as a BIN lot for $4.99! With $8 shipping to the UK, I'm rather a happy chappy.

You should be. That was indeed a good deal. :eusa_clap
Better than plain, bland striped ties. Geez, I hate striped ties. They remind me of some school uniform ties. No pizzazz. No character. You could also get in trouble with them as military units have their own stripe patterns. Buy a vintage stripe tie and you could instantly be impersonating an officer.

 

[Widebrim]

^^True. I wish either the President or Gov. Romney would wear a hand-painted, or at least geometric-patterned tie, for Pete's sake...
