Inspired by F. Gregory Brown

Poster by Gregory Brown (from Underground Art by Oliver Green 1990)



Inspired by this colourful poster design of Frederic Gregory Brown of 1920, I made my own version of Aberdare using the same foreground trees. In watercolour and acrylic ink with genuine letraset in Berlin typeface.
