Rev'n Travel: Your posters have a distinct vintage feel to them. What draws you to this style?
Alecse: I love the nostalgia and romanticism of vintage travel posters from the mid-20th century. They capture a time when travel was more about the journey and the experience, rather than just getting to a destination as quickly as possible. I try to capture that same feeling in my posters, while also bringing a modern twist to the design.
