If you're as sick as I am of the Floating Head-style design of today's movie posters, feast your eyes on these handmade posters from Ghana! Utterly incredible, warped, beautiful, BIZARRE... it's hard to pick a favourite from those examples, but I might have to go with Cujo and John Woo's The Killer. Words fail. I'd happily hang them on my living room wall. Like all great outsider/folk art, they're charming and sincere in their primitivism. You can see more here.
