Poster art, Ghanaian style!

Ash has never looked mightier

Just thought I would churn out a quick little post here, particularly as this is something which has taken my interest of late. Ghanian film posters have become a kind of internet fad among those film fans with money to burn. For those that have no idea what I am going on about, Ghanian film posters are rare one off designs done for DVD film screenings in the larger towns.

I stumbled across a few during a night of ebay film hunting. Now there is a little part of me that is forever glad I have done, purely because of their odd and curious nature. These aren’t art masterpieces, nor are they particularly at least in visually stunning sense, eye-wateringly (I think i’ve just made a word up) amazing. But what they are is charming and simple with each poster hand drawn on to a piece of blank sack. Take a look for yourselves and tell me what you think. I know if I had the money I would be proud to own such interesting pieces of film artwork.

Not sure I remember Godzilla in Species 2. Might have been better if he was
