Ghana Poster Week, Coming This Fall!

Later this year I'll do another week long series of posts, this time devoted to the batshit insane genre of Ghana posters. Anyone who owns books on Ghana posters interested in scanning and helping contribute to this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also considering rounding up some artists to contribute to this. It would be interesting to get a handful of artists to do Ghana style painting interpretations of their favorite films.
