Title: I'm trying to find a certain poster
Post by: rhymnrzn on September 26, 2007, 12:23:45 AM
Does anybody know where I may obtain the poster I recall seeing years ago, commemorating Tulsa's 100th year as a city?  It shows a guy in a tux pouring oil from a canister into a martini glass.

OK, thanks.

I remember that poster hanging in the art department when I was in school at OSU-Okmulgee '86 - '88. It was designed by Ron Fleming and Clay Turner if I remember right.

Did you check with Ziegler's? They have a lot of Tulsa posters I think.

I know someone who still displays one in their dining room.  Love that poster.

my brief search found the same Zieglers thing. Without a proper title, its a hard search.

I have one in my dining room, if I remember correctly it say "100 Years of Progress" on the bottom of it. I will have to look at it when I get home tonight.

We have one hanging in our master bath. It is fun scrutinizing the artwork while drying off.

One of the biggest boo boos is the guys right pinky. It is double jointed.

The other is the amount of splash as compared to the method of filling the glass.

Nonetheless we love the poster and will always keep it.

I'm retarded, that poster is hanging in the lobby of my office.  Just noticed it today.
