Looking for cool retro computing images (portrait) to print and hang on the wall of the retro room but all I get is AI slop. I need some human recommendations! Old ads that are mostly visual, artistic photography. I'd happily pay as well, as long as it doesn't involve sending money to the US etc...

Please boost for reach?

@gmc Well, I had the perfect recommendation (Paul Rickards has some fantasic retrocomputing themed plotter art) until the no money to the US part, though I certainly can't fault you for not wanting to do that. I don't like doing that and I live here.
@gmc oh wait just saw you wanted old ads? Why don't you just go check out the internet archives? There's a couple of galleries of nothing but old retrocomputing ads on there.

@prokyonid Yeah, I was thinking that as well. Haven't been able to find them yet though, there's so much stuff on the internet archive and I am apparently incapable of entering the right search terms :)

I'm not specifically looking for ads though, it's just that ads of the era have a certain visual aesthetic that I'm after. Like this product packaging that @rgsteele lilnked in this thread: toque.town/@rgsteele/115838505…

I mean, that's just beautiful :)

But artistic photography would do as well. Like this stuff that a friend of mine did: flickr.com/photos/simski/album…
