using several sources (including a scan of the ecto I did myself) I give you the Real Ghostbusters promo art!
Oh brilliant! It’s great seeing it so crisp, seeing the small details that never showed up due to it being printed so small.
Excellent work!
It also, finally, lays to rest that old debate about who was Ray and who was Winston.
I still say the guy with the sunglasses looks like Ray from the cartoon and the guy with the ecto goggles looks like a black guy (yes both movie Winston and RGB cartoon Winston have black hair), but I know who each one is SUPPOSED to be, I just wish they more closely resembled their cartoon counter-parts.
Ray’s the one on top of the car shooting Slimer, right?
no he is the green one in front of the car.
Thanks much! I started cleaning up scans of it almost a year ago, and that project got sidetracked. I can shitcan it now, since theres a good image available now!
they sell posters of this artwork on amazon etc but I think it has an annoying childrens video logo in the corner that covers half of slimer. you could probably print this at least 11 x 17 and it should look decent.
Awesome!!
seriously, you guys couldnt tell who was who?
I know who is who. but to my eyes, Winston is drawn like Ray from the cartoon.
Great work Joe! Every time I see this, all I can think of is the TV tray that had this emblazoned on it…and then I get hungry.
I remember it from the RGB board game cover lid thing.
the other day I purchased issue #1 of the Real Ghostbusters magazine on ebay, carefully removed the staples from the center and scanned the 2 page poster spread of the famous promo art done before the Real Ghostbusters cartoon aired and created a new, cleaner version of the image in my first post of this thread, it was scanned at 600 dpi and can be printed at 24" x 36" for a nice poster, here is a smaller version if anyone would like it.
Nice, Joe, thanks for making this available.
Excellent! Very cool!
if I can find a free place to host the 300 dpi 24" x 36" file I will post the link, this would make a killer framed poster. I dont know if there are copyright issues with printing it, but I dont think you’d have any trouble. depending on how much Staples copy center charges I think I might have them print one up for me, I bought a 24 x 36 frame last week and this would be perfect
I can upload it to flickr if you want. PM me.
I forgot about flickr, I actually have an account, so I uploaded, here is the 300 dpi, 24 x 36 poster, enjoy!
Awesome! Nice work, Joe.
