Best Of

I showed my Godzilla to an artist yesterday. He was quite amused.

This "artist's" work is so bad it is great (I imagine it is the same person who did the Godzilla).

Too bad they did not do Old Master restoration. They might have outdone this!

There was a poster artist, or possibly more than one that appeared to have started in the1950's to add what looks like lipstick to male actor's images that were featured on Australian daybill and other film posters. The films that received this treatment appear to have been for later non first release posters. and  where no printer's credits where included, or from F. Cunninghame printed posters. Some examples for Lost In Alaska, Hobson's Choice, Fireman Save My Child, The Gay Dog, The Jolson Story and The Wild One follow below

These examples are only a small number of images I have where this practice was applied.

                                                                                                             

My question is does anyone else have any other Australian posters featuring male actors wearing this lipstick looking appearance? If anyone  happens to have any other really over the top poster examples it would be great to see them added here.
