from what i've gleaned through reading up on some chinese astrology, the "little guests" poster was done in the early 70's, '73 or '74, a new year poster for the year of the rabbit. the chinese believe "the man in the moon" is a rabbit-chemist who prepares longevity formulas. there are postcards for sale here: http://www.iisg.nl/collections/cards.htmlbut unfortunately, not any of the "chubby babies" ones. i do like the "christ guerrillero" postcard though. i wrote to the guy who runs the chinese poster site about getting a hold of a print quality scan of the "moon palace" poster for personal use. he said if he ever had one made, he'd share it with me. so, my next step is to offer to pay for the scan, if he'll go get it made. i'll see how that goes. i've lusted after that poster for at least two years now. p.s. i love the one with the fish and the gems too!
