Nice thread! This could actually go on for a long time!

How about these two? Victor Moscoso from the '60's and a recent Emek ...

[morst]

hm, at least emek mixed it up a little bit. . .


(subtle Mike Watt reference? The Black and the Red?)










Everyone's favorite fun game is no longer TAKE A STEP BACK, it's FIND THE INSPIRADO!


I guess that is more of a sticker than a poster, but there's posters of both too.

.... to his credit, he did! I look at this more as homage than anything else.

Maxfield Parrish inspirado for the butterfly babe?

And is that first ad by Emek older than the The Mars Volta poster? I wonder how the The Mars Volta fans would feel about their poster being a reused advertisement? Or was the The Mars Volta poster first? If so, I wonder how the The Mars Volta fans would feel about their band's poster being used as an advertisement?


(duh, this IS eb, where the links actually have info behind them!! The The Mars Volta is from 05, the Warped one is '06. I bet lots of Ralston Purina employees will like the Warped one. Blech- corporate logos suck as bad as corporate-named venues! )

Ok, I get it, both have a figure in a crescent moon with a ukelele. . . I don't see much resemblence besides that.

It's a piece of clip art from a Dover book, I believe. If you look around, and know the clip art books fairly well, you can see where a lot of poster imagry comes from.
