| Why AirfloStudio, or at least, why Airflo? Well, to be honest, I'm just fond of the name. It evokes the streamlined moderne style I happen to like a lot. How did I get stuck on that word? Several things lead me there, actually. One is a favorite car of mine, the Chrysler 1934 Airflow. A revolutionary automobile in both the styling and engineering. (Here it is next to the M-10000 train). | |||||||||

The actual name AirFlo Studios was used in a movie I happen to like, Xanadu. Disenchanted artist Sonny was tired of his job reproducing album covers for the record company AirFlo Studios. I think you only see the name once, on the gate of the studio as he drives his car in. |

| My use of the name Airflo really started up in the early '90s, when I gave that name to a roleplaying game character in a Golden Age Champions campaign I was involved in. She was a Jazz Age flapper taken into space ala Flash Gordon and turned into the streamlined cyborg known as Airflo. It was a really good campaign and I was really pleased with the character. | |||||||||
The last direct reference I know of is the title of a book of illustrations by Phillip Castle. He has done a number of well known posters and other images. His strange girl/car/plane combinations were also an inspiration for my Airflo character above. |
