I reckon just like me few would know the name of Reynold Brown but the name of the documentary I just watched on SKY Arts pulled me in and well it was an education
The doc was entitled The Man Who Drew Bug-Eyed Monsters and covers the life and career of Reynold Brown who created some of the most memorable movie posters in and out of the B-Movie genre.
Like most of his counterparts his work was unsigned and more or less uncredited at the time, he served the studios only in a way to sell upcoming movies, now of course posters are regarded as works of art by themselves.
Alas I can not see a repeat of the programme in the immediate future on a UK channel and well no idea about a US or Canadian broadcast but I'm sure the states is where the doc originated.
