Biggest Little Fur Con: The Roaring Twenties - Con Poster!
Here's my poster for the upcoming Biggest Little Fur Con in Reno on May 3-5!
The theme is centered around the 1920s, and I decided to approach the golden age of illustration for my take on the poster. A lot of great illustration came from this era and so I researched and referenced numerous advertisements I found then. I really wanted it to look like a poster you'd find in the 20s, and make it look aged too. The background though was my real labor of love... It's the original Reno arch that was built in 1926, but with the famous "biggest little city in the world" slogan that was put onto it in 1929.
This whole thing was quite the learning experience, and it really made me appreciate classic illustration a lot more. I learned quite a bit doing this poster. I posted all about the process on my Tumblr in the past few weeks if anyone is curious/interested about the process. I'm also working on a t-shirt design for the con, and will be doing the con book cover as well.
See ya'll in Reno in May! :)

It's such a darn shame that every good con has to be held in the States. v.v
Haven't been on a single one my entire life, which really sucks because I've got no clue what they're about
or why people love them so much. This of course only makes me want to go even more! X3
Oh well, wonderful picture there Sal. Love stuff from the 1920's - 1950's. <3

Dude, this is phenomenal. It really can't be understated how much work it usually was to make decent illustrations in the time period seen here, and not only did you take it on, you fucking aced it.
I hope you and everyone involved has their fun, and sows whatever wild oats they intend.
