Pasted up yesterday in treacherous conditions (well it was a bit windy) and to critical acclaim. Its a design based on two ads from an old Italian comic, one for GI Joe the other a Barbie-esque figure called Lisa Jean. I found the Lisa Jean ad confusing, it has this disembodied head floating at one side looking down at an aging plastic couple like a spectre of youth judging these old cronies. The GI Joe text seems bizarre especially when put through an online translator. I suppose it ended up being about such grand things as lost love, missed opportunities, romantic picture books and novels. I think i achieved at least some of that. Judge for yourselves:

And to allow all you wonderful folks to have a little snapshot into my world, here's is the view from up on MFB. Thrilling stuff I'm sure you'll agree, like staring into the jaws of death but not once flinching:
Finally, I have been receiving the first of the posters etc for the Community Billboard day. Keep them coming as its a little thin on the ground at the moment. Also i was hoping for a few more small ads type items, you know people selling a sofa or looking for love. Where are you old romantics with overcrowded living rooms?!? It's your day so i guess its up to you what you send in though...
