dlo burns 129 Posted December 2, 2014 I was born in 1979 and I certainly remember the time before computers did everything but surely even in the early 80s we had the ability to print large posters? Ugh, I remember billboards being hand painted though so maybe this really was a thing? Seems so insane that hiring artists to do this would be the most economical choice! Â Well if you want something to last more than a few years you're going to have to have it hand painted or find a super specialized printer. Â I think Malone doing the covers is for sign painters like a 'show only the most romantic-glamorous part of the job' hollywood thing, just like how most architects never hand draft blue prints. 1 Share this post Link to post
