Twilight Sparkle - Somepony Talked

Description

It's time for a spiritual sequel to an earlier work of mine, Loose Lips Sink Friendships.



The original Someone Talked poster ( [link] ) was painted by Frederick Siebel for a national war poster competition during World War II. Discussing movements of sailors and ships was a big problem during the war, as spies were thought to be everywhere. The Office of War Information needed to hammer home that careless talk about strategic information cost lives. Several posters, of which this was one, hammered this theme home.

The lettering was done by hand, as no actual font exists for the text.

Big WWII buff here. I found this at 2019 Bronycon. Had to have it. Just got it back from framing today. (Expensive, but worth it!) It's going to look SO good up on the wall. Excellent job!


Sure would be nice to see more pony-esque mods on WWII propaganda posters, but I fear I've discovered this too late. (Any plans?)
