Artist: Bob Peak Important Added Info: Note that we have heard that Bob Peak was displeased that his art was reversed (mirrored) for these posters. Besides not being as he intended, this also caused his name to be mirrored. Decades later, this artwork was re-created for a limited edition art print with the input of Bob's son, Matthew Peak. When Matthew was asked if his dad's name should be corrected, he replied "No" because his dad would want people to know his preferred orientation of the work! What IS linenbacking?
