Carlos Fernandez has a great graphic style. You can see that he is influenced by the work of Charley Harper (And who doesn't love Harper. Or Carlos for that matter.) We took Carlos' drawing and made it big. Really big. This poster is 36" x 48"... and is perfect anywhere -- dorm room or living room or kids room. Speaking of kids, if it's a rainy day why not take down the poster and have the kids' work on pencil crayoning it in, it will take them hours or days even. Enjoy.
