Propaganda

I regularly read and contribute to the posts on the Internet Cello Society's forums. Usually the cellists of the world prove to be a creative lot. But when one member asked for help to design a flyer for a concert of all Russian cello music the results truly amazed me. One regular poster suggested his poster include the title:

A 'CELLO RECITAL
featuring music from
THE ERA OF RUSSIAN COMMUNISM
in association with _________

Wow... the creativity there just bowled me right over.
Anyway.. I decided to create a couple of my own just to kick people into gear a bit.

Seriosuly interesting syuff here - And I love your posters.

One question - why do you repeat the same anecdotes on several of your blog entries?

Thx for the feedback.

I try not to repeat myself - however one of the larger blog entries is actually an article I wrote for an online publication which I created by splicing together bits of other old entries! There was enough new stuff in it that I decided to post it anyway, regardless of the repeated material.

Glad you enjoy my writing!

The 'compulsory recital' poster is really funny. I wish I'd thought of that for one of my degree recital posters.
