Beautiful posters - very nostalgic. Although harking back to the past, it's nice to see some 'proper' skill on display.

Whether they were or not, I like it. First time I've said that about some outdoor stuff in a while. If I were to be picky I'd have wanted the cow illustrations to be a little more 'vintage' in line with the rest of the concept.

I guess if you rendered the cows more 'vintage' you'd run the risk of making the campaign look 'vintage' (...and have nobody take any notice by thinking it was 'old')

My pennies worth anyway...

I like the slightly less vintage quality of the cow illustrations, it brings a tongue in cheek Banksy quality that lifts it somehow. (hope that doesn't offend anybody!)
A very nice campaign.....

I love painted-on-to-walls signs and advertising of old, and these look great. Really nice concept and execution. If I owned an end-on terraced house with a big blank wall I throw some kind of mural on there. I've worked with print company VgL and their method of printing onto brick looks superb. Didn't get to use it myself though :(

So good to see old-school advertising. No air-brushing, no anorexic unreal models. Cows. Butter. Paint. Long may it last.

I used to paint wall signs. Then I got into advertising. Now everyone likes wall signs. Dammit!

Absolutely brilliant. Such a striking campaign, mainly for the medium thats been used, but they've made it look authentic with a modern twist. Realy nice work.

I saw the one with the cow mixing the butter last night on a moving, back-lit bill board. Look great at night.

Refreshing and appropriate. Well done to all involved.

You may take the credit but a senior employee of CHI has been a member of my facebook group for over two years, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=9987601562

Hate doing self promotion but if you like Ghostsigns / painted wall adverts then join my group, getting taking pictures, posting locations to google maps and saving this art before the buildings are torn down and it goes forever.

I was completely knocked out by this when I saw it this morning on the side of a building. A standout idea!

Very nice, I do like stuff like this. To be fair, Tango did it aswell in the past 6-12 months. You can see one coming in/out of Manchester Piccadilly.
