Friday, December 11th, 2009I designed a poster this week for a new year’s eve concert. Which just happens to feature the awesome band I play in, Samba Já. Don’t forget about the Beat Crunchers. Like, a totally rad dance party on, like, new year’s eve, y’all.
That’s Carmen Miranda in the background. Speaking of which, please view this fabulous Chiquita banana advertisement from the 1940s.
