North Korean Posters coming, by Ruggs on Apr 25, 2013 22:48:18 GMT 1, I recently saw Andy Kershaw doing an interesting piece about North Korea on the BBC's The One Show. He had some really cool posters he bought back. If they're anything like what he had I'd be very interested.

North Korean Posters coming, by letiss on Apr 25, 2013 23:18:53 GMT 1, I've spent a bit of time in S.Korea over the years never went north of the DMZ though and I've seen these posters before and they do look impressive. But it just seems a bit too real to me as they feel a bit like belittling the plight of the people in N.Korea for entertainment. Understand not everyone would share that view but its stopped me buying them in the past. it would be ideal if the art sold went towards a charitable organisation; perhaps one that helped the defectors. Otherrwise having an image of someone labouring really isn't my thing.
Achung out of interest what takes your to Pyongyang?

North Korean Posters coming, by achtungbono on Apr 26, 2013 11:25:32 GMT 1, bloody hell. I didnt think there would be so many interested. I will have to plan this a bit carefully now. Im happy to being em back and send them out etc, but the proviso is these are for personal use & not banged on ebay for instant profit. Will be update before I leave and get a rough idea of who wants what. I think I will be outting a cap on how many orders I can take, otherwise is gets a bit out of hand
