Here’s a very special item. As most will know, the finished artwork for Clint’s 1982 film Honkytonk Man consisted of a drawn / sketch type design of Clint and Kyle. However, Clint’s long-time associate Bill Gold had already made some original concepts featuring a photo image and an entirely different font for the titles. Many might argue that this is a far more appealing design – but it wasn’t meant to be. However a similar design (probably from the same photo shoot) was used for both the LP soundtrack cover and the paperback tie-in book. This unused piece of original art is approx. 20” x 30” and mounted on board and originates from Bill Gold’s design studio.
My kindest thanks to Davy Triumph for this lovely piece of movie history.
