I have worked as a bookstore clerk in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At one time I was active in science fiction fandom. I have done hobby cartooning for a long time, and at times made a living doing commercial art.
I moderate 'Spontoon Island', a co-operative web-archive of art & stories of original sea-island adventure set in the 1920s to 1930s. Rated Web-17. The mapped location is public domain with contributors expected to show their own original characters. If your characters want to take a short island vacation in the 1930s, let me know.

Free firecracker label templates (in scraps)
a year ago
There are 3 black & white "firecracker label" labeling templates (with samples of how they can be used), in a Folder in my "Scraps" section of this Fur Affinity archive page.
These are based on approximations of 1930s labels for small wrapped packs of 16 to 20 small firecrackers with their labels braided together. Actual firecracker packages are actually often as colorful as these examples, and can have very hyper-style art. These examples show some of the range of the 1930s art, some examples of design styles, and some near-typical small safety statements, and factory notices. (The examples here in the scraps are in a cartoony, funny-animal style). There are many on-line art archives of actual collectable fireworks labels (back to the 1920s, up to current times). These archives can be searched for other style examples. Styles can vary from elegant folk-pop=culture to energetic outsider-art.
Some of the central art might show views of fireworks being set-off by kids; some art might feature totem (or trade-mark) animals; some festival scenes with firecrackers; some would be pin-ups of military heroes (and heroines), or folk characters; some art would be pin-ups of dressed=up marriageable females.
The lettering styles had some conventions in designs in the 1920s and 1930s. Early firecracker pack labels might be entirely hand-lettered. Multiple colors were used early on the packages by the 1920s, and included flat-color areas and color lithography. The lithography might have a regular (or irregular) pattern of primary colors, to make a shaded color image. Manufacturer credits were sometime for a factory in a foreign country, but could also credit the importer company, or even the local or regional general store that ordered their own batch and brand-name.

You are free to use these templates to make your own version of fireworks labels from the Spontoon Island setting, or to adapt the templates to your own version of the furry worlds. The 3 black & white templates are in public domain, and may certainly be modified.
If you do some furry firecracker labels, 1930s or not, let me know! Have a safe-and-sane label production!
