I just got some lo-res photos of the new batch of 20″ by 30″ hand-drawn litho-printed Sandalwood/Kannada movie posters, and they’re fantastic! (If you missed reading about Raju, who draws a new movie poster every three hours, and the 1901 litho machine they’re printed on, go now!)
I have 100 of each of these, so let me know if you’d like one. (If you’re in Bangalore or Beijing, you can have them for free the cost of a coffee. Overseas, I’ll have to charge.) Let me know in the comments below!
My favorite, of course, is the first one…
Jessica Harper, absolutely gorgeous in Dario Argento’s Suspiria:
Nicholas Cage wearing his snakeskin jacket, a symbol of his individuality and his belief in personal freedom, in David Lynch’s Wild at Heart:

Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall and Michael Schoeffling in my favorite movie of all time, John Hughes’ (ahem, slightly misspelt) Sixteen Candles. I only regret the absolute absence of Gedde Watanabe as Long Duck Dong.

A strangely puckered Peter Lorre as the sick Grieg-whistling child killer in Fritz Lang’s M. (I just read Lang apparently threw Lorre down a staircase while filming, to rough him up a bit. Fantastic!)

Orson Welles as Harry Lime, suddenly dangerous with his pocketed pistol — it’s a setup! — in Carol Reed’s awesome The Third Man. Where’s Holly Martins? Probably drunk under the table again.

















































I would love one of each of these, they all rank among my favorites! Just let me know what you need from me, will gladly pay shipping + your time. Thanks!
Would love the Suspira poster. Happy to cover all costs.
Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for being the link to this obscure-treasure. It’s brilliant stuff! I would like to collect/buy lots of them. I am traveling to Bangalore in February. Can you give me the address to this artist’s studio? (You will have my email id through this comment.) Or can I meet you and collect some of the ones you got made?

Love the Third Man one!

Hey!
This is brilliant! would it be possible for you to give me the artist’s address? I live in Bangalore.
kick-ass post, this!
Hi,
My wife and I are big fans of unique art from around the world. We’re currently living in Bahrain and would love posters of modern films, especially TINTIN. She is an art teacher and I teach English with a specialty in cultural studies. We would both benefit greatly from these pieces. Feel free to contact me if obtaining pieces is possible.
Thanks!!
Love these.
I would like to purchase, if you are interested in selling. Let me know what you need. Very interested in these.
wow! these are amazing! I’d love the Suspiria and the M one! I’m based in Bangalore!

My first comment seems to have got lost, but these are great as is the site. I’d love to get my hands on the Suspira one. Happy to pay all shipping costs, etc.
Thanks!
Oh, ignore that. I can see my first post now. Apologies
I’d love a Suspiria one if you still have one! (And if you’d allow me to get greedy, a Third Man too. But if these are going fast, leave it for someone else.) I’d gladly pay shipping to the US, plus a little extra.
Hey there,
I’d love a copy of the Suspiria Poster, Wild at Heart, or M, whichever’s available (or if all three are, awesome). I can pay via Paypal or any method online that suits you. Please email me back at dcmarcial@calavera.us or dcmarcial@gmail.com … Thanks!
Dean
I’d love two Suspirias, two Wild at Hearts, two M’s and two Third Mans (Third Men)? Give me a shout!

These are wonderful! Great post. I’d really love some copies if you could get in touch.
these are so cool! i would really love the “suspiria” and “wild at heart” posters. please get back to me. thanks.
Beautiful stuff, Dean. Always fascinating to see the various bits of Western culture that filter through to the rest of the world, and how it’s processed. Sign me up for a set, if they’re still available!
Woukd absolutely love some of these. Eager to pay.
May I have 1 each of these posters please. Send me what I need to order and pay for them.
They are amazing
@PaperSuitcase

R.
Sign me up please!
I would like to get maybe three of these as a set? Let me know what shipping would cost!

I’d love the Suspira or Wild at Heart poster and would be happy to pay for whatever costs you have for shipping, etc.
I’ll gladly pay for copies! Thanks for sharing.
Me too please! I’m based in Bangalore.
Thanks a ton!
Lovely Suspira poster. Thank you for posting
I live in Los Angeles, and I’d love to order a Suspiria (or 3 if you have extras) and M. Please let me know what it would take. Thanks, these are amazing!
Hey there. I’d like one of each, if at all possible. Shipping to Toronto, Canada. Let me know what you need. nesbitt_m@hotmail.com
Wow- when you’re back to Beijing I’ll barter for one of these amazing posters… If you’re interested- I will gladly trade any poster for the “cocktail of the year” trophy I totally STOLE from you and your stuffed rat!
Haha! No need of the cocktail trophy — the photos of my mouse-vodka bottle live on. ;P But maybe you guys have to join us for AIDS soup at Shimao Mall on Wednesday night! I’ll already be bringing some posters then…
What others you gots? Would want some if there’s other titles.
No others right now, but keep an eye on the store — who knows what’ll happen!
these posters are wonderful! any left?
if possible, i would really love to get some! pls let me know !
Sorry — all gone!!
But keep an eye on the site. I’m moving to Bangalore in about a month, and will post if I get my hands on more!
I need a bunch of these – email me any info you may have – volhoo@yahoo.com
cheers…
For the last two years I would take the long walk from SG Palya to Christ College. And every time I walked by these posters, I would always wonder who was churning these out
Thanks for revealing who the man behind the picture is
Some of his English works are cringe-worthy albeit unique.
(His rendition of Optimus Prime. It was so weird and crazy, I LOVED IT!)
a bit late to the game, but if you’ve still got any of the Suspiria posters, I’d love to take one off your hands and pay for whatever you need.
I know I’m late to the game…are all of these gone? Or is there another way to purchase them? Thanks so much!
Holly
Love to pick up a handful or two… let me know the details if shipping is available will pay via paypal.
Woul love the Suspiria and maybe all. Please price each and shipping costs. Can Paypal.

So cool! I’d love to get hold of a Suspiria poster if you still have one.
…actually, I’d love to have a copy of The Third Man too. They’re so beautiful.
priceless !.
would love to get a custom one done for “Inception” or ‘The Dark Knight” and some more Bollywood classics . i am visiting Bangalore in the last week of Jan , how do i get this done?
I’d love to have one of SUSPIRIA! Is it still possible?
Sadly, all the Suspirias flew out… and don’t have a way to send posters anymore. India doesn’t actually seem to have carboard poster tubes for sale! (???) Sorry!!!
