Propaganda invitation

It's funny how my mind works. I posted the picture of the Hong Kong couple wearing Red Army uniforms and that got me thinking about classic communist propaganda posters. The Chinese had a certain style on some of them that I really like. Considering our political past, it works too. I chose one that is very typical and copied the worker and the farmer, cut out the soldier (we are only two after all) and gave them our faces (and hair). Done!

I love the little subtle hint with the hammer and sickle! It's also incredibly simple graphically. All I need to do now is to find a good paper! (And have a fight with the printer.)

Comrade, lets get married

This is Jordan Chan and Cherrie Ying, a celebrity couple from Hong Kong and this is also one of their wedding pictures. This is nostalgic for sure. In the early 1950's this kind of a portrait of newly wedded communist couples were not unusual in China (one such rather famous one is in the book "Wild swans" by Jung Chang showing her parents in such a photo). 

It's refreshing to see something else than the traditional white dress/suit/lets try and look cute thing.
