Apparently, my Flickr stats are about to bump up a bit.

Several of the Ghanaian ones have paintings of white people which read as very Asian to me. I wonder what that's about?

Those Japanese film posters are fantastic. I would buy all of them. Assuming I had the resources.

Love those Thai posters. Whoever was making those had a fantastic sense for composition.

And I can't believe that Voices of East Anglia missed out on the Japanese poster for Barbarella, perhaps the swingingest movie ever. I've got this hanging in my garage.

More Ghanaian posters here and here. (Some duplicates from the original link, of course, but lots of different ones)

I want to see the one all about the intrepid accordion player. Some of his friends seem to be going to pieces, but that accordion player really has his shit together. I bet all the girls are into him, even the ones with pretty scarves.
