Artist for W.E.Smith posters - revealed!
A couple of months ago, Hondo was able to track down one of the artists for W.E.Smith posters. His name is Aub Moseley and his is now in his 80s.
I spoke at length to Aub over a couple of months and have written an article on his life as a movie poster artist on OzeFilm
I hope you enjoy reading it...........

Thanks guys. I have also updated the information on some of the other Australian movie poster artists ....

There is now lots of information and images from artists like Wynne W.Davies, Frank Tyler and many more.
I found another example of Aub Moseleys art. No wonder he was proud of this one .....
Sad news that Aub Moseley has passed away. Aub was an accomplished Australian movie poster artist with a distinctive style. His funeral will be held on Thursday.
Sad news indeed. I am certainly pleased I managed to contact Aub. last year and have three long talks with him over a period od time. When I originally asked him if he would mind if I contacted John Reid with a story to be possibly written about his life in mind by John and for John to connect him he seemed very happy about this happening. My last conversation with Aub. was after John had written about him and given him a copy and he had shared his story with people he knew and this seemed to make him happy to be acknowledged for the great poster artwork he was responsible for. Between John and myself a little history recorded and preserved. Unfortunately more film history is lost than saved. He seemed a nice man and I say ''Work well done' Aub-R.I.P.''.
That's sad to hear.
RIP Aub.
Sadly, Aub's family don't have any of his posters. His collection was stolen many years ago and he never picked up any others.
If anyone has any of his posters, the family would be interested in acquiring them. You can see some of them here ...
