Another Case Closed....

I knew that the x-rated poster for "Young & Innocent" (which I previously blogged about) had to be a ripoff of a Robert McGinnis paperback cover. Sure enough, my husband tracked down the original McGinnis cover that the poster maker stole from.



Ta da! Above are both the poster and the original paperback cover. Enjoy these "twins." They sure beat lame-asses like the Olsens!

Mystery Solved....the artist is Armand Weston

Well, after extensive googling and typing in keyword after keyword, I found the answer to who illustrated the x-rated movie posters signed "Weston." This most excellent artist was a man named "Armand Weston." Oddly enough, the trivia page on IMDB for "Heat Wave" lists him as the artist:

IMDB: Heat Wave

Also, I found the following link:

Men's Pulp Mags

Weston, as the pulp mags author writes, truly was a multi-talented guy. Illustration artist and both director and producer of XXX movies? What a combo!

Also, I've seen the movie "Defiance of the Good" (which he directed), and it was good, sleazy fun.

Now, if I could just figure out who illustrated "A Teenage Pajama Party", my life would be complete...

And to those of you who lost out on that lollipop, better luck next time!

XXX Movie Posters...Part 2!

More XXX posters from the collection. There are more in the collection than this, but I'll probably save more for a future post.


Some random notes:
1.) I wish someone could tell me who did the art on "A Teenage Pajama Party." Someone that good was likely a prolific illustrator in the mainstream world. And I know many people that would like to be invited to this party...


2.) Many of the illustrated posters were put out by Essex Video (i.e. "Portrait of Seduction", "Heat Wave," "Expectations," etc). I suspect they were done by the same artist who signed his name "Weston" on "Heat Wave." I'm going to do some detective work and see if I might determine the artist's identity.




3.) "Young & Innocent" has illustration art that looks to be a Robert McGinnis rip-off. I tried to peruse the net to see if I could confirm this. No such luck. I know Paul Rader's art was ripped-off for a X movie called "Swedish Sorority Girls", which I posted about in the past. If anyone can confirm this, that free lollipop is still available. I've got to come up with some better prizes.
