Rome Retro Anime Travel Poster

All roads lead to Rome, which is either a geographical statement or a philosophical one, and Rome doesn't particularly care which interpretation you choose because it's been here for 2,700 years and it's heard them all. The Colosseum is a ruin that somehow manages to be more impressive than most functional buildings. The Vatican contains Michelangelo's ceiling, which he painted while lying on his back on scaffolding, complaining the entire time in letters to his family — making him arguably the first freelancer to hate a commission and still deliver a masterpiece. This poster transforms Rome into 1990s anime cel art — the Colosseum's arches rendered in warm hand-drawn travertine, the Trevi Fountain's cascading water glowing in soft retro blues, and the Spanish Steps rising through cel-shaded ochre building facades. St. Peter's dome commands the skyline in vintage grandeur. The Pantheon's oculus lets in a perfect circle of hand-drawn light. The Roman Forum's columns stand in the same noble ruin they've occupied for two millennia, but now in pastel. Printed on 200 gsm matte paper with archival inks.
