Evan - My first movie poster was a 30 x 40 "commercial" black light poster from
"Easy Rider," silk screened in day-glo colors. A snap shot appears below, late
1969. My pals find it hard to believe now, but I was big into counter-culture
stuff in my youth, even tacking an R. Crumb "Keep On Truckin'" flyer onto my
wall. I could not afford frames nor even a usable black light back then, which
were an obsession for every kid in our neighborhood.
Meanwhile, thanks Scott! I still prefer MoPo because it's not a time hogger
compared to other poster forums. -d.
