Welcome to The Victory Garden of Tomorrow-- artful advocacy for the modern homefront. We create special, modern poster artifacts for the forward-looking collector. Style, imagination and politics come together in these bold expressions of design and inspiration. Our guiding principle is that there is power in small and ordinary places; it enlivens our imaginations and improves our communities, our homes and our health.

In terms of conceptual design, The Victory Garden of Tomorrow is an exercise in blending WPA-era eat-your-peas propaganda with the awe-inspiring 1939 World's Fair (motto: "The World of Tomorrow") and its big-vision, world reshaping ambition. I believe the spirit and skills of that old generation lay within us today. We simply need to re-deploy ourselves if we are to shape our uncertain destiny.
Everything in this shop is locally sourced from small operations in Portland or at times California. When I decided to do a shop, I knew that I wanted to be like other businesses that I respected; I strive for high quality, environmentally friendly processes, and a commitment to dignity and respect for everyone I work with, from customers to interns. For me, that's how it has to be.
This is a project of Joe Wirtheim and his tiny, eco-friendly Communication Design studio in Portland, Oregon.

I've connected with so many people through this project and its been very inspiring - and really that's the point, to inspire the imagination. Or simply be a good conversation starter.
