Never understood why they put a box over Grace's head it's like the artist messed up her hair and then tried to cover it up...

well she's got what looks to be the makings of blue/purple highlights already, maybe they got a bit carried away.

Hmmm, on that basis it looks like the US artist screwed up her ear as well!

I would pay really good money for a Jungle Woman insert (already have the one, half and lobby set), but have no desire to have the daybill at all.

Wow - that US Blonde Ice kicks major booty.
Thanks for posting another clear USA winner, Mark.

It's great how one man's gold is another man's dust.
I'm on Mark's side with this one, which is predictable.

Sorry for starting a war between the nations.

Who had the crayons out this time?

You know this is a bigger battle than with the Quads...... Anyone keeping count, I need to know who's winning. As if I couldn't guess.

Like I said yesterday "when left to their own devices and not copy(ing) the US artwork, many times they are great".
If the Aussies did more stuff like this, lots of people would collect them.

(shh ... thats a copy of the superior UK artwork

Yes, you beat me to it Ari! A coffin instead of a fierce looking creature.

UK wins this hands down right ?

'fraid so, look it's going to be near impossible for Aussie to win where the rules are examples where the art is copied from another source (perhaps in some cases where photographic art on an insert is replaced by a richardson designed daybill we can win).
But really it should be Best Poster for a title, regardless of whats depicted.

According to the Aussies, no. Australia wins because they got the kids to color it with their bright crayolas (at least that seems to be their argument when compared to US stuff).

Any excuse, it's one of my Favourite Quads... I must get a better pic though...

Hey, I just joined the International Society to Advance Daybill Acceptance. Discrimating against daybills is just wrong!

I knew we'd wear everyone down eventually

Great titles there Ves, there are a few that look equally good in their own right. The Big Clock and They Made Me a Killer to name two.

I understand the fun of these comparisons but it's really flawed from the outset because Aussie posters are created in a completely different medium vs. US posters.

Also, many daybills take their artwork 'inspiration' from US 3 sheets over inserts. Some...well...it's really VERY puzzling as to what drugs the Aussie artist was on!

CSM · « **Reply #171 on:** July 31, 2012, 10:22:29 PM »

Generally in my opinion Aussie posters are much richer in terms of colour saturation but there is certainly almost always a trade off in fine detail.

Side-by-side with US counterparts many Aussie posters are far more striking to the naked eye just because the colours really POP!

Here's another Aussie win:

Overwhelmingly supported, Chris. Not sure why Rick even started the thread.

I think this is one of the better Australian daybills ....
