My friend Mark suggested that if I wanted to get Bethany into poster art, I should consider approaching it from her perspective first by focusing on things she likes. Well, she's into fashion. She likes to read about it and look at all sorts of clothes and shoes. She likes shoes. One of her favorite designers is
Betsey Johnson. Betsey's style is, as Bethany describes it, "Girly Punk." From my perspective, Betsey is fun and definitely eye catching, which is what I generally look for in a poster.
So I looked up vintage fashion posters to see what came up. A Frenchman named Berbard Villemot did a lot interesting stuff for the Bally shoe company. One poster that caught my eye is called "Bally Kick," which was done near the end of Villemot's life in the 1980s. Bethany likes it too. What do you think?

Interesting that the shadow is of a male leg... not sure why, though.....
I didn't notice that, but that's awesome. They do guys and girls shoes?
