Vintage/retro posters/Prints

[MK]

This is a poster/print that I just got for my office. The photo doesn't come close to doing it justice. I really like this artist. His name is Michael L. Kungl. He has few poster lister without the "L" too. I was really impressed at the high quality paper and printing of his posters.

If you go to http://www.allposters.com and click on vintage images you will find a lot of wonderful posters.

Enjoy!

P.S.
Thanks to DocIndyJones for turning me onto them.

MK... GMTA...

(Great Minds Think Alike)... I am awestruck by Kungl and his prints/posters. In fact, I was enamored with EXACTLY the same one that you have shown in the photo of your office. Here are the ones I like the most:

Transport:

Booze & Cigars:

Buildings:

For more about this artist, see his Web site: www.mkungl.com

Most of the posters run $40 (Kugl will autograph them if you order from him rather than one of the online poster guys). He also sells limited edition prints of many of these.

A very excellent print! It fits perfectly in your office.

Slightly off topic but.. Mk, what is the surface of the walls in your office? Is that wallpaper or textured paint? It looks very interesting..

Clipper poster

I have one to go up. It's one of the travel posters of the Flying boat with the title "The South Pacific." Mountains in the background and tahitian girl in the foreground.

Since everyone love images of all kinds here is a free wallpaper/screensaver that will categorize and store your pix- www.webshots.com. Those posters will enlarge to full screen size nicely for those that download them.

Thanks -- some great images there!

Am I nuts, or is there what appears to be a hidden swastika in the lower right of this poster, just below the red ball?

MK--thanks for sharing your Clipper poster with us. I saw it in a picture that you had posted in another thread and wondered who the artist was. I just assumed that it was a vintage poster.

I've always loved the posters of Tom Purvis: http://www.art.com/asp/display_artist-asp/_/crid--865/Tom_Purvis.htm I have the Austin Reed's poster hanging on the wall of my office.

Who let the D.A. in the lounge? Do I bribe you guys for nothing?

I've always loved the posters of Tom Purvis... I have the Austin Reed's poster hanging on the wall of my office.

Which one?

Site says the one on the right is "No Longer Available"

 

[The D.A.]

Don't worry, boys--when I'm in the lounge I'm off-duty.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Go prosecute Zemke for hiding a swastika in his poster.

 

[The D.A.]

The poster that I have is the one on the left. I got it (framed) about eight years ago on clearance at The Bombay Company. Unfortunately the picture doesn't do the print justice--the colors are actually much richer.

Too bad about the one on the right. Just my luck that it'd be unavailable.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Have you tried looking for it on eBay, D.A.?

Thanks for posting Purvis' work

Purvis' prints are just my style.
Even the typography is interesting while still being easily read.
I have got to get something by him.

I just found the other Austin Reed's poster at Allposters.com. If you search for "Tom Purvis" it will come right up, along with some of his travel posters.
