It reminds me of the original Mad Max poster which was itself (I suspect) inspired by Frank Frazetta. This site credits the artist as Bill Garland. Not am Aussie poster artist I'm familiar with...
I had no idea Frank did Battlestar stuff. The anecdote about George Lucas in that link is fascinating. I didn't know George had refused Frank's terms. Given that George had gone for a royalty on every toy you would have thought he understood Frank's stance. Do you think we lost anything with Star Wars 'cos Frank wasn't on board?

That's bang on Looey! I've never seen that poster before. Which Frazetta were you thinking of,?
ReplyDeleteProbably his amazing The Gauntlet or Battlestar Galactica works...
ReplyDeleteHere is all of Frazetta's BSG work. There were pics I'd never seen before!
