I was so geeked about that article too. I love Neal's "Eat Local, Buy Local, Grow Local" poster so much, it's just gorgeous.
Great posters! I always find it amazing when i look at posters from 50 or 60 years ago that are trying to educate people about the same things we are still talking about today - like 'Simplicity is the key to successful living' and 'Eat local, buy local, grow local' - times really haven't changed that much at all!
Fabulous posters...
