TIMES SQUARE Chirashi 2025
In celebration of its inclusion in the recently published 女の子が死にたくなる前に見ておくべきサバイバルのためのガールズ洋画100選 (100 Western Movies for Survival That Every Girl Should Watch Before Wanting to Die – as always, I welcome a better translation if you have one) by Kitamura Sae, a 2K projection of the 4K restoration of Times Square played
TIMES SQUARE newspaper ad, Bucks County PA
I was hoping to be able to say, “And here’s one of the last post’s ad artworks in action,” but this newspaper ad from a Bucks County, PA newspaper doesn’t use any of the pieces from the two ad sheets. It uses a variation of the ad at the bottom
TIMES SQUARE Mini Ad Sheets
Here are two 11″ x 17″ sheets of readymade art to be inserted into your newspaper ad with the name of your theater and the showtimes alongside or below, These are essentially the same as the ad negatives and pages 7 through 20 of the AFD Campaign Pressbook, except
“Hustle, Pammy! Hustle!”
The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed the little “Donate!” Ko-Fi button floating in the lower right-hand corner. Yeah, it’s taken a while but I finally have to admit that after amassing (and continuing to amass) this collection, the costs of maintaining it – storing, housing, preserving, not to mention
