As I've talked about ad nauseum lately, I've been really into the WPA-style recently.
After being involved with the 75th Anniversary celebration the Design For Social Impact put together last month, I started working on faux-WPA posters, like the one you see above.
Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater did a bunch of productions under the auspices of the WPA, including some Shakespeare. They never did Macbeth as far as I know, but Orson made a film version in 1948, and so I conflated what he looked like in that film and moved it back to the 1930s, as if he and his company had put on a WPA-funded production of the legendary tragedy.
I was really happy with this once I finished it, and it will be the first of many in this style, of that I'm sure!
