Hmm. Last year Thierry started a post asking us to show our favorite poster purchases of the year. He posted it in early December...and I've been waiting for it to reappear this year. Unless I'm blind and/or he posted it in a different section, I do NOT see it anywhere. So I thought I'd start it (sorry if I'm stepping on any toes) as the year is about to expire. Last year I only posted 10. Thierry had a lot more than 10...so, using his example (and because I had such a good year, I really couldn't narrow it down), here are my 25 favorite purchases from 2016.
25. HOUSE OF WAX:

What were YOUR favorite purchases of last year?
Zowie! I've been working the last few days (24th, 25th, and 26th). I had my original post done before then and just slapped it on whatever morning I posted it...and LOOK at all of the other posters that followed. Awesome job, gents! RoughOutline, that PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK is great. I might need one. DEKE, I love your Mexican posters---especially those first two you posted. GORGEOUS!!! TED, oh my stars! BONANZA there! I love them all. Some of those I missed seeing if you posted them elsewhere. I have to set my sights on a TRIFFIDS for sure though. WOW! MATT, you already know everyone LOVES that FRANKENSTEIN poster...and it looks so festive next to your tree. RICH--what was in the tube? Hmm. Did I miss something (probably...). MIKE, the ESB is spectacular (I like the art---just not a big STAR WARS fan) and I really dig the MUPPET poster with, what's that character's name? Animal? Ha! LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is also classic. BRANDON, I dig that clever KNIGHT OF CUPS poster. Never heard of it though. It's good? Your CAROL poster I also really like and SPLASH is fun.
And, just because I goofed up and it didn't show up, here is my No. 3 fave poster again--THE CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN 3-sheet:
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/boinnng/3sh_creature_with_the_atom_brain_linen_SD06130_T_zps9muhmzsb.jpg)
Great posters everyone. Let's see MORE!!!!
CHEERS!
