Another propaganda poster

Posted on 2007 August 26 by mongreldogs

As has been usual, this is another exhortation to “Work to Win”. My “study” of WWI and WWII posters indicates that almost all fell into the “Work harder” or “Buy more bonds” categories. True to form, this poster says, “Victory … Continue reading →

New Poster: Ready?

Posted on 2007 July 27 by mongreldogs

I’ve got a new, rarer “landscape” poster ready. It shows two Zarkov rockets at a docking tower, with crew running to man the ships. A DV snub fighter is lifting in the background, and the ever-lovable jetpack guy has just … Continue reading →

Re-cap on the posters

Posted on 2007 July 10 by mongreldogs

It’s become clear that I’ve mis-tagged some of these, and I thought it was about time — 1/3 of the way toward a book! 🙂 — to collect them in one place. More below the fold.

New poster: Don’t Let That Shadow

Posted on 2007 July 6 by mongreldogs

Another in the series, this one with the tag “Don’t Let That Shadow Touch Them“. This is based on one of the most effective WWII posters I know of, with the same tag but the shadow of a swastika. My … Continue reading →

Another in the ongoing series. This one reads “Keep Us Flying — Buy War Bonds“. The inspiration is a WWII poster with exactly the same wording. In the original, it’s a pilot wearing a parachute harness. (I’m assuming it’s a … Continue reading →

A complicated poster.

Posted on 2007 June 26 by mongreldogs

Yet another in the series of posters for the newly-rechristened Second Interworld War. This one is inspired by the many different posters that had streams of planes passing overhead in a not-too-subtle V formation. The purpose was to impress with … Continue reading →

New posters

Posted on 2007 June 21 by mongreldogs

More from the First Interworld War. One is an updated version of my very first Interworld War poster. The second has the tagline “See Action Now … Join the Rocket Service.” My reasoning, and the actual posters, below the fold.

More from the First Interworld War

Posted on 2007 June 9 by mongreldogs

Researching for this(!). I came across a great book called You Back the Attack — We’ll Bomb Who We Want, billed as “remixed war propaganda”. An artist named Micah Ian Wright took World War II propaganda posters (some from the … Continue reading →

More propaganda

Posted on 2007 May 13 by mongreldogs

from a war that was never fought. 🙂 I haven’t really decided if all of Mars is noxious (in this reality) but since Well’s had “the Black Gas”, I figure the TEF had better have gas masks. And while it … Continue reading →

New, if silly, pursuit

Posted on 2007 May 12 by mongreldogs

So I haven’t stretched my creative muscles very much lately, and I’ve been looking for something to do. Playing around with Poser and some models I got from the Net, I decided I was going to make propaganda posters from … Continue reading →
