Old school advertising

The bombardment of consumers with advertising hasn't reached western levels in Suriname. Oftentimes advertisements are not very sophisticated and in our eyes slightly amateurish. On the other hand, there is also a lot of skill in the tropics. Many buildings, especially shops, have hand painted advertisements on their walls. The main products are mobile phone companies and beverages such as the local mineral water Para Springs. Many of these paintings are barely distinguishable from posters or photographs.
