If anyone else needs visual design inspiration, old travel posters from Finland and Sweden are cool as hell.
@jonikorpi This may be an impertinent question--what has Karl got between his legs?? On the outside of his pants, I mean.
@SallyStrange I’ve been wondering too…. Maybe a sickle hanging off his belt?
@jonikorpi ...sure. That'll suffice as an explanation.
@SallyStrange I’m being told it’s this guy. Don’t see any sickles…. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_Brahe_the_Younger
@SallyStrange @jonikorpi to me it looks like he's sitting on a chair, or stool, with curvy legs.
@owl Oooh I think you're right
@SallyStrange @jonikorpi I think that’s the leg of the chair or stool he is sitting on.
The style is kind of familiar to me, but the name eludes me. Something from the late Nineteenth or early Twentieth, I think, but I’m no expert.
@SallyStrange @jonikorpi Though it might be earlier. Rococo-inspired? Not Gustavian, I think.
@jonikorpi what era are these though? they seem very 1930s.
@blogdiva Yup, 30s to 50s! Some newer ones on the sites as well, but I seem to like this era best.
@jonikorpi i’ve been kinda obsessed lately with interwar arts. that era from 1919 to 1939 was incredible for the arts and crafts.
@jonikorpi the ... salmon ... flight ...
@datum I know right??? It’s perfect!
@jonikorpi oof that 30,000 lakes one… WANT.
@armstrong There’s a big poster and a small postcard available! I think they ship to various countries. https://cometofinland.fi/product/30-000-lakes-original-size-poster/
