"Get to Where the Sun and Moon Align with You: Travel Art to Inspire and Inform".
While vintage travel posters are currently popular with the traveling public, the poster art of the 1930's Works Progress Administration was also meant to inspire and inform. Following this philosophy, I use elements of this vintage style in my artwork to help drive public interest in solar eclipse and dark sky tourism.
