80's Mandela poster
I first heard of Nelson Mandela when I was 19.
I was working at ASAP Printing in Houston, when we got this last minute rush order to print up these posters.
I had no idea who this guy was, but I thought they were pretty cool, so I stole one off the reject pile.
It was a painting of a younger Mandela, with blood & sweat dripping from his brow. The background was the outline of Africa shaped from barbed wire that was consumed in flames, with the words FREE MANDELA written in flames (though, I can't remember if it was on the top or bottom).
My Mom picked me up from work, & one the way home, told me who this guy was.
When I got home, I flicked on the news, & GUESS WHAT?
The client still had to pay for them, though, they sat on the OUTGOING shelf for a pretty long time.
