DDC-089 “California Compiled” Poster
DDC-089 “California Compiled” Poster
Product Description:
California, California. You are a big ol’ beast! You’ve always been an enigma to us. From our first visit in 1989, our time living in the O.C., all the way to our quick stops in San Diego and Los Angeles in early April, 2013...always exciting, with way too much stuff to wonder about. A wild place, with wild towns and wild ways. Free people! Art, bands, lifestyles, ideas, movements, ironies, exaggerations. I don’t know how you guys do it? I mean, I find the place exhausting as hell. The commutes, the sun rays, the price of rent! Too much for a simpleton like me. Dynamic as hell, really. Mindblowing.
Sure, we tried like hell to make a home out of you, and fell flat on our face in coastal climes. Your sunshine, wild highways and beautiful throngs were a little too much for our “man mountain/gritty” ways. We did 22 months down there on the beach and split back to Oregon just as soon as we could. We tried, we tried.
One thing isn’t debatable: California is a magical place and has given the world a wealth of amazing things. On this poster, you’ll find all the stuff we love about the place. From the coast to the mountains, to the cities and their suburbs. The desert, the woods, the north, the south and everywhere in between. We packed it in! Our biggest poster to date, weighing in at two feet by three feet! 24" × 36"! Big, like “The Golden State!”
Get warm with one of these posters, California!
