Olly Moss gets his own thread

It's highly likely that it was inspired by other design legends and not Moss. It's a classic, vintage travel poster. There are a few designers from way back who started that entire style.

There's loads of similar posters to Olly's all with the same angle of the titanic:

They all look the same to me. Good thing I don't love Titanic.

Yeah, not even close. Olly has mentioned his sources of inspiration on numerous accounts. Nothing he does is new, it's just well-executed. Not to take anything away from him. The one who's on top of the game best owns it.

Looks awesome! Kinda regretting selling mine now.

I thought you were getting it framed with the screwdriver?

I'm surprised how much the price has fallen on the Mario variant. There's only 80 of them! I like the reddish pink color over the regular.

Hey Olly or Mitch — what's the word on the Zelda regs? Last we heard anything was 2 weeks ago. Still printing or ready to ship?

On the 12th of April, Mitch said on Facebook...

Zelda reg reprint is not in-hand yet. Soon, I hope.

No I said if I did I would get an actual prop replica screw driver from the show. That one from the gallery was a nice souvenir but it was ugly

Ah, I see. Get some non-iPhone pics up!!

I think the Zelda regs are now in hand and will be shipping this week.

I think.

And yeah, first order of business once I get the new studio set up is the Totoro giclee.
