Found a box of old movie posters in my uncle's attic in Omaha

They were from the 80s and 90s, all hand-painted for the local theater. The colors are so bold and the brush strokes are everywhere, you can see the artist's hand in every line. It's a totally different feel from the slick digital stuff we see now. Anyone else have a favorite piece of old-school, physical design like that?

My local record shop still has those old painted signs in the window. I mean, you just don't see that kind of craft in a storefront anymore.

You said you can see the artist's hand in every line, and that really hits home. I used to think the new digital stuff was just better, but finding an old painted sign changed my mind. You can't fake that kind of life in a piece.
