Smfu McCann 11 months agoHaving lived thru the ’80s as a 20-something, and being involved in publishing, I can tell you that almost all of the artwork you show above would’ve been considered cheesy back then by anyone with good taste. You can find plenty of untalented examples today too, although the software tools now are so much better and can make almost anyone look better (if not actually good).
