No, sadly not.  I just posted the (Hammer campaign) artworks as they were never intended for general release so will be unseen by most people here.  They were only every created to secure financial backing for proposed movie productions.

The only Hammer Films piece I got in this week was Chantrell's campaign artwork for the unmade Horror/Science-Fiction  film, A SCENT OF NEW-MOWN HAY, which I uploaded onto my CAF yesterday:

http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1429066

This particular painting was locked-away in a private collection for twenty years.  Thanks to the old-fashioned way of collecting, in which we used to do the leg-work and network with other collectors (as in pre-internet days), I established contact with the owner and consequently got offered the Chantrell Hammer art at a very reasonable asking price.

 

Ah okay (too bad!!) but even so that SCENT is exceptional. I really like the ridiculous title too :) This is a tough line to draw, not joining in your party, you've definitely converted me to Chantrell but I will resist and stay away. This made easier that those artworks are not in every HA Sunday night sale too...I'd have to make an active move to ferret the good stuff out...better you than me (err rather your wallet than mine) and I will continue to enjoy your updates!

Actually, the former owner of SCENT drove down to my place yesterday afternoon to deliver the artwork in person (he was about an hour's drive away).  The guy actually knew Chantrell and had visited him numerous times, so I got to hear some great stories about the artist.  Whenever Chantrell was employed to create movie artworks, the client only bought reproduction rights - so all artworks got returned to him.  A lot of the best stuff got snapped-up years ago by savvy collectors . . . which ties-into my previous point that if you do the leg-work and make the connections, it can sometimes pay big dividends when you hook-up with the right people . . .  and can also work out cheaper than sitting round waiting for the next Heritage auction feeding-frenzy when collectors are forced to compete with one another.  Not criticizing . . . just opining.  The SCENT artwork got offered to me at cost price (of 20 years ago!).  How cool is that?  Great price, great art and a memorable afternoon spent conversing with a like-minded collector who had great stories to tell.

Anyways, I'm not trying to convert anyone   :bigsmile:    Just sharing an interest . . .

Just back from the framers (had to photograph this one at an angle to eliminate glare) . . .

Yesterday's visitor (who hand-delivered the aforementioned Hammer Films campaign artwork) sent me some photographs relating to my AT THE EARTH'S CORE painting.  I was of the belief that the art was created specifically for the Australian campaign.

Wrong!  Although the artwork did, indeed, see print as the Australian daybill poster . . . it was initially created for the UK press-book campaign circulated to cinema managers.

New in today . . . original movie poster painting for the 1965 comedy, BOEING BOEING, starring Jerry Lewis and Tony Curtis.  This was created for the Spanish release of the movie.  Although I prefer UK and USA paintings, I liked the whimsical nature of the artwork (and besides, it came at a steal!).

The above link will provide access to a large photo of the artwork, together with a write-up and additional images.

One of the members on my original Movie Poster artwork FB group recently posted a couple of links to the knock-off artworks produced in Ghana.  Lots of outrageous stuff that made me chuckle:

Harry Potter even makes a guest-appearance (in a non-Harry Potter movie):

The Ghana stuff...you sort of have to be accepting of folk art to get it. Naturally...I have several :)
