Hello. Q: When you took off the plastic, did you see that the white areas of the poster ARE PART OF THE POSTER...or are they glued/pasted on top of the orange area? A: the white areas of the poster are glued on top of the orange area. Q: Was the poster glued to the board or was the poster PAINTED ON TO THE BOARD? A: the poster was PAINTED ON TO THE BOARD. I can tell you that this poster is made by Korean. I don't know who created the design. I think the wo/man who drew this poster could copy other one's own creature, but, it's quite true that this poster is made in korea. and 'cause nobody cares about our posters, unfortunately we know nothing about it. i hope my letter be helpful to you.

Best, Yaping 2010/3/28 Dan Walsh As you can see we have uploaded both of the jpegs you sent us.... THANK YOU VERY MUCH! We have gotten a lot of interest in this poster and a number of Palestinian artists are trying to locate the artist but so far no luck. Q: would you consider removing the plastic cover and looking UNDER the white paper that says "Free!" and "Palestine" ... to see if there is any text, in any language that might help us locate the artist and or the publisher? If you are willing to do this and you find something under there, WHATEVER you find, even if it is in Arabic (we speak Arabic here) please take a digital shot of it and send it to us. OK? Your solidarity is strong, beautiful and very useful. The artists of Palestine salute you.
