I discovered a wonderful, YouTube channel and a related, site source called Posterfix (a company located in Brooklyn, NY), led by craftsman Chris Cloutier.
The meticulous Cloutier and his equally meticulous wife, Oki, present poster restorations from a number of subjects from a number of global venues, which include circuses, magic shows, concerts, soft drinks, EC Comics, Disney characters, Buck Rogers, Tom Mix, Bruce Lee, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Quentin Tarantino, George Romero, Dario Argento, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, the Beatles, KISS, Universal Monsters, King Kong, Godzilla, Mighty Joe Young, Forbidden Planet, Invasion of the Saucer Men, Earth vs the Flying Saucers, Back to the Future, Star Wars, Planet of the Apes and many more (with a good number yet to come).
The old, creased/tattered posters are placed on linen backdrops and where need be, pasted, plugged and repainted.
Cloutier gives historical details regarding the movies' releases, as well as the posters' anomalies, which are more common than not if they're foreign or were pulled before distribution. As he and his spouse work away, music from the featured movies is heard, along with interspersing quotes.
The Posterfix episodes, which run from 5-20 minutes each, are relaxing, informative and pleasing to behold.
The Posterfix channel can be summoned through a basic, YouTube search, but it would also prove rewarding to visit the company's store site where restored examples and a pricing queue are featured. The results are certain to blow one's aesthetic mind!
