@bourgwick love the Sir Douglas Quintet poster, the copy I have has a slight offset in the green print which gives a really nice feel.
Show threadjesse jarnowMar 17
@doc_dead i think the offset is meant to simulate 3D? or maybe just an accident?

@bourgwick I always assumed it was a serendipitous accident. Cool effect whatever.
Also have a copy of the PH Phactor poster, but I think mine has a brown/orange second layer. Will dig it out.
