Featured Thrift Find - Coolest Poster Ever? Anyone Seen A 1990 Atlanta International Film Festival Poster?

I found this poster yesterday at my reg thrift store - I think it's one of the coolest posters I've seen! But when I did a image search (I used 2nd photo; close up of art w/o frame), I couldn't find another example?

Has anyone seen this poster before? It's not a fantasy piece or a weekend artist's work is it?

Thanks for any help.

 

It's a great example of the early desktop publishing/computer-generated illustration era. Definitely not a weekend artist piece. Could very well have been created using one of the top two players in the vector illustration software programs back in the day: Adobe Illustrator, or Aldus Freehand.

Unlike raster programs like Photoshop, vector graphics can be enlarged or reduced to any size without degradation of the image quality.

It really does typify the time period both in terms of the style, and the somewhat sacrilegious distortion of the fonts. Some early computer illustration enthusiast would love to have it.

 

Your adoring fans Journey! You certainly stand up for the Arts.

 

It looks like it says Burnett just above the lower banner. The artist perhaps?

 

Think it might have been part of this:

That's the Atlanta Arts Festival & I think orientated towards black artists while mine is Atlanta International Arts Festival - I saw that but didn't think it was the same; do you Debora?

 

Goodbyes - it does say Burnett!
Thanks you!

 

I don't see "International" on your poster. Am I missing it?

Too funny! Here's the sweatshirt that goes with your poster!

Debora your right! I don't know why I thought it had International in it except I posted this around 5:30am on my first cup of coffee! Sorry.

 

Not to worry, Journey.

Sabre it's funny you said that - this painting came off same truck/same house and I looked for Dawl Lo like the signature says but all I found was a Dawn Lo - a illustrator / children's books illustrator/artist?

 

I sent pics + a link to this forum just now - fingers crossed!

 

That's a souvenir painting from the Andes. Bolivia probably.

And the name is probably Danilo, a common Italo-Iberian name certainly seen frequently in South America.
