I'm a big fan of posters.

I mean I really am. Especially those that belong to before my lifetime -well maybe childhood included (*remembers he is 28*).

That's when I'm playing Fallout New Vegas, I examine walls all around enjoying mouth-watering grungy art there.

Do you know any particular website that has a collection as such ?

www.zazzle.com is kind of like an ebay/amazon for posters. Some good prices, some crazy prices


I looked for something that has the really terrible, cheesey posters like I got as a teen from kmart and walmart and hastings, but I cannot find any.... Like the old g-string biikini girls ones that were so "risque" with their big heavy metal hair, and silly posters of pop gangster rappers and WWF stars. I also like the product posters that they used to have in grocery stores and on buses.... funny they didnt sell those when I was a kid because retro was not cool....

You may want to check out Derek Erdman, he is a painter, "artist" and all around wierd guy.... but some of his paintings are hilarious. They are renderings of people and food and moments in pop culture, completely idiotic....

Um, I'm fine with being able to behold them. I was rather looking for a repository of posters I could get lost in rather than a store to purchase. But a store still is a collection. Thank you. :bow:

Edit: These indeed (http://www.zazzle.com/propaganda+posters) !
