hitting the wall
More than a few of us grew up with posters of some sort on our bedroom walls.
Ballplayers. Musicians. Scantily clad ... artists, let's say, of the large and small screens. And, admittedly, many of us thought we'd grown out of that stage in which we see a poster and think, "Oh, man. I have to have that."
Happily, though, those days are here again. L-dopa.com features a Jet Set Modern Collection of sport posters, including some amazing examples from European racing in 1960s and '70s, that are pretty much guaranteed to get motors running.
Whether it's a shot from "24 Heures du Mans" where one can pretty much smell the fuel and burnt rubber, or just a simple picture of a Porsche hugging a curve at around, oh, 150 mph, these posters put you there.
Time travel doesn't come much cheaper (or more graphically cool) than this.







oh man you're right
reminds me of a grand prix monaco poster I had as a kid--thought that's what life was going to be like...
if anybody has a bead on one of those--thick paper from the early 70's
let me know
