These are all so good!
psychedelic political posters, from the middle east no less. frigging cool. you've a masterful eye my son.
I might know the author of 2 of these posters marked "anonymous" would you like me to check ?
Thanks aline - that would be awesome to know the anonymous artists.
The one with the puppy flower and the purple building is definitely by Seta Manoukian. I also asked her about the 6 faces in colourful frames but she's not sure about that one.
At least I've got one answer for you :)
