Courtesy of Things magazine, we are introduced to Montrรฉal based graphic designer and collage maker Raymond Biesinger and very much enjoyed his pastiche posters (more of his own work in this omnibus post from MetaFilter) and moreover appreciated his side-by-side curation of inspirational samples, as in this archive of covers of publications from the Canadian department of agriculture, scores dating between 1944 and 1977 with topics ranging from animal husbandry, canning and preserves, victory gardens, household economics, dealing with a nuclear winter on the farm, to mushroom foraging. More appreciation of the artist at the links above.
