My recent acquisition is one of the biggest single posters (120x160cm / 47x63 inches) I have ever owned. The poster is drawn by Jean Giraud-Moebius for the French movie Touche pas à la femme blanche! (Don't Touch the White Woman!) from 1974. He also did multiple simple cartoony versions of the poster for the same movie.
My other poster of the same size is also a French movie poster for the movie SPYS from 1974, also illustrated by Jean Giraud-Moebius.
I am happy to announce that four of my posters for the JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade were included in the theater posters exhibition at the International Festival of Small Stages, organized by HKD Teatar, Rijeka, Croatia. The exhibition was opened on May 3rd, 2025.
Text excerpts from the exhibition catalogue:
"Dramatic classics through the eyes of graphic designers
A look back at the three decades of the Rijeka Festival of Small Stages will help us understand the global and technological changes that have occurred during that period. It was a period in which the material world dissolved into the digital, and the boundary between physical and virtual reality became increasingly difficult to perceive. Communication is layered into numerous new forms that are already difficult to follow, and social networks are an unavoidable part of our everyday lives. In this context, we could experience the poster as an outdated medium of communication. However, it still resists being removed from the theater facade and retains its printed form.
That is precisely why this 'traditional' medium has been a frequent content and topic of accompanying exhibitions of festival programs over the past three decades. Through numerous exhibitions of theatre posters, the MFMS presented interesting selections of individual authorial opuses, contemporary design creations or national selections to the Rijeka and festival audiences."—Jolanda Todorović, exhibition curator

My recent acquisition is this page of manga Nezumi (chapter 3) by Mamoru Uchiyama from 1999. I bought this page not only because it's drawn well, but also because I have never seen in comics somebody giving so much real state to the bottom of a foot. I found it very effective.
Here, here, here, here, here, and here you can see some of my other manga acquisitions.
