Gift Idea: Immortalize Someone as a Hero of Socialism

Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like a blast from the Cultural Revolution.
And nobody does Chinese Socialist propaganda better than the folks at Maopost. Visit their site, and you’ll be able to browse decades of stirring revolutionary posters extolling everything from vigilance along the frontier to the importance of avoiding infectious intestinal diseases (hint: avoid the Moo Goo Gai Fruitcake).
Maopost was started by collector Pierre-Loïc Lavigne and graphic designer Pierre Budestschu. Recently, they’ve branched into something that could be the perfect gift for that revolutionary wannabe on your holiday shopping list.
For $169, Maopost’s artists will custom paint an otherwise faithful reproduction of a Socialist propaganda poster — featuring the face of your choice. Pick from a big selection of authentic posters and send in your photo. Within weeks, you or your designate will be immortalized as a hero of the Revolution.

Standard posters are 24 x 15 inches. You can go 32 x 21 inches for an extra $30.
Can’t get enough of the Great Helmsman? If you’re a Mac user, tap into Maopost’s cool desktop widget. Your daily dose of Socialist resolve is as close as F12.
