Meansheets Vintage Movie Posters

Wilson McLean is a Scottish-born illustrator who started his illustrious career in England before moving onto the United States where his rich, jazzy portraits were freely adopted by the New York City advertising world.

In 2010, he was inducted into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame — and though his design work was most frequently used on album and magazine covers — he did have a one-hit wonder in the movie poster biz with this dreamy, melodic one-sheet for the 1978 James Toback film, Fingers.
