davidmackenzie:‘Grim Fandango’ was a PC game release by LucasArts in 1998. An adventure game, it combined elements of the Aztec belief of afterlife with style aspects of film noir to create the mythical Land of the Dead. The story followed travel agent Manuel “Manny” Calavera as he attempts to save Mercedes “Meche” Colomar, a newly arrived but virtuous soul, during her long journey.Unfortunately, Grim Fandango, despite glowing reviews from the industry, never achieved widespread acclaim. However, I was thrilled to hear recently that it is to be given a complete remastering and re-release for the new generation and I can only hope that it finally gets the time in the spotlight that I think it deserves. In celebration of this, my evenings and weekends lately have been filled with designing this series of 1940’s/50’s vintage travel posters featuring four of the fantastic locations from this game.Due to popular demand these are now available as framed/unframed art prints and canvases at my Society6 store here. -- source link
