Ewart Melbourne Brindle (1904 – 1995) was an Australian-American illustrator and painter. His work included posters for World War II war bonds, magazine illustrations and covers, and US postage stamps; he was particularly known for his illustrations of cars, and in 1971 published a book of portraits of Rolls-Royce Silver Ghosts. During World War II he created posters for war bonds, including "Warhawks are Killers!" (1943) and "85 Million Americans Hold War Bonds" (1945). For the US Post Office, he designed a 1971 set of stamps on Historic Preservation, 1972 postal cards for the Tourism Year of the Americas, the 1975 "World Peace through Law" stamp, and a 1982 postal card depicting the Academy of Music in Philadelphia.
