Here is a new poster that I’ve been working on.  It’s for my wife (born in 1981-who would have guessed).  She helped me pick out the patterns and colors.  I’m also working on one for myself, which will be entitled–you’ll never guess–est. 1980 and will follow a similar layout and design, so stay tuned for that.  For now, view the first installment in my portfolio, or view it after the jump.
