Michael read the post and was so very kind to personally drop off several signed poster-sized prints of his work and I’m just showing 3 of the prints off to you right now. Shown below are his collage of the United States of America, the map of Manhattan, and an additional one called “Heart (The Red Studio)”.
If you got a chance to see Toy Story & Toy Story 2 in 3D in theaters, you will have noticed a great new trailer for Toy Story 3 which showed “home video” of Andy playing with his toys and growing up and the toys dealing with a newly reset Buzz Lightyear (watch the trailer below for the surprise).
I just received Chinese Propaganda Posters (TASCHEN) today and I’m sitting down with it now and enjoying the wonderful collection of posters and Chinese artwork inside.
The book is a 240-page, full-color work of art in and of itself. It is multi-lingual (German, English, French, and Chinese) but keeps the words at a minimum allowing the viewer to fully be immersed in the artwork. I can’t read any of the Chinese on the posters themselves, but that doesn’t hinder me from loving it and getting all sorts of inspiration from it. And for just over $10, this might be a great present for any traditional art-lover — Chinese or not.
Japan’s Tokyo Metro website [translated] has a gallery of posters that tell people how they should be acting on the subway. [via]
It’s in typical Japanese fashion to put a bit of odd humor into everything and these posters definitely fit the character. I wish the MTA would put out PSA posters like this in the subways here in NYC. It’d make the subway ride a bit more cheerful I think.
