Vintage style San Diego travel poster
I added another piece of California love to my repertoire. (Look at me speakin all fancy like) I think I may finally be getting a handle on some design skills I've been aiming at.

#SanDiego #California #Vintage #TravelPoster #Art #GraphicArts #VoteBlue #AltText

Vintage style travel poster. "visit" is white with a black shadow. "America's finest city" is yellow with a black shadow. "San Diego" is red, outlined in black and outlined again in a thick white line. "California" is red with a black shadow. The sun umbrella is (going clockwise) Green, Blue, Yellow, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue. It is outlined in white. Legs sticking out from the umbrella appear to be female on a sandy beach. A surfboard in the background is red with a yellow stripe. A large yellow sun and a few white puffy clouds fill a blue sky.

After hours of loading my parents' clothes into bags for donation, I took time to dig and exhume from the terra drive.

It's curious how much work i created was belittled by lack of response from social media.

Still such creations remain everything.
