I forgot to mention Carol Tincup, who has worked on a couple of posters for me recently and the results were extraordinary. Actually, her work was so incredible--on second thought, I'd like to say that her talent at restoration equals if not surpasses the talent of Joe Hernandez. I

Yes Bruce, a great fixer-upper. Hell, a knockout fixer-upper. But I have to say that virtually all the restoration artists working today exceed the talents of Igor Edelman. Possibly this is a case of better tools available from which to work. I am speaking of methods, paints, and yes

I know for a fact that Igor Edelman, who was a nice man and a talented artist, also used acrylics on some posters, a total no-no. Kirby Kirby McDaniel MovieArt Original Film Posters P.O. Box 4419 Austin TX 78765-4419 512 479 6680 www.movieart.net mobile 512 589 5112 On Apr 17, 2010, at 12:28

Hey, my experience with Igor often was that years following his restoration I'd look at the poster he'd restored and I could see the brushstrokes where he'd done in-painting. I don't know if his techniques improved in later years. All in all, I'd say the infamous Joe Hernandez was the

I understand where all you guys are coming from. I have often wondered how today's restorations will look in 10 years. My point was that for this exact poster I don't think there is a poster reference for the large missing area. First someone needs the imagination to create what might have been

The thing is.. no matter how good the restorer, if he or she just fabricates or makes up what was missing, and in-paints the sections of what he/she *thinks* was there, without a reference, this poster will be made worthless, in many regards. It would need to be researched -- I'm sure an
