Last month I wrote about the anti-war art of Joe and Gerry Simboli. The reaction of my friends was pretty amazing. Many people I know purchased their posters.

In that last communication I mentioned that the Simbolis also designed a series of posters depicting the zodiacs in the late 1960s. It makes perfect sense that Paul Smith licensed these images a few years back to adorn his clothing.

The Simbolis have a handful of these vintage posters left over. Printed in 1969, they're a graphic remembrance of another era. Yet, they're still oh so modern. The 12 designs are beautiful. The colors pop. The graphics, bold. Where the Simboli's war series was thought-provoking, these posters are smile-provoking.

We're selling the vintage posters for $175. Joe and Gerry will sign each of the posters. They're also capable of reprinting the posters in smaller sizes if they're too big. I can get pricing for those.

But it is the vintage posters I most adore. I cling to the music, art, furniture, and designs of the past. This was a way for me to own a small part of that colorful and foreign world. Email me if you want one. The numbers of the vintage posters are very limited and they measure 24 by 36.

See images.
