using several sources (including a scan of the ecto I did myself) I give you the Real Ghostbusters promo art!

Oh brilliant! It's great seeing it so crisp, seeing the small details that never showed up due to it being printed so small.

Excellent work!

It also, finally, lays to rest that old debate about who was Ray and who was Winston.

I still say the guy with the sunglasses looks like Ray from the cartoon and the guy with the ecto goggles looks like a black guy (yes both movie Winston and RGB cartoon Winston have black hair), but I know who each one is SUPPOSED to be, I just wish they more closely resembled their cartoon counter-parts.

Ray's the one on top of the car shooting Slimer, right?

no he is the green one in front of the car.

Thanks much! I started cleaning up scans of it almost a year ago, and that project got sidetracked. I can shitcan it now, since theres a good image available now!

they sell posters of this artwork on amazon etc but I think it has an annoying childrens video logo in the corner that covers half of slimer. you could probably print this at least 11 x 17 and it should look decent.

Awesome!!

seriously, you guys couldnt tell who was who?

I know who is who. but to my eyes, Winston is drawn like Ray from the cartoon.

Great work Joe! Every time I see this, all I can think of is the TV tray that had this emblazoned on it.....and then I get hungry.

I remember it from the RGB board game cover lid thing.

Nice work!

the other day I purchased issue #1 of the Real Ghostbusters magazine on ebay, carefully removed the staples from the center and scanned the 2 page poster spread of the famous promo art done before the Real Ghostbusters cartoon aired and created a new, cleaner version of the image in my first post of this thread, it was scanned at 600 dpi and can be printed at 24" x 36" for a nice poster, here is a smaller version if anyone would like it.

Excellent! Very cool!

if I can find a free place to host the 300 dpi 24" x 36" file I will post the link, this would make a killer framed poster. I dont know if there are copyright issues with printing it, but I dont think you'd have any trouble. depending on how much Staples copy center charges I think I might have them print one up for me, I bought a 24 x 36 frame last week and this would be perfect

I can upload it to flickr if you want. PM me.

I forgot about flickr, I actually have an account, so I uploaded, here is the 300 dpi, 24 x 36 poster, enjoy!

Awesome! Nice work, Joe.

I emailed Staples copy center (the one near me anyway, check with yours) and 24 x 36 posters are 50% off so its only $21 to print, gonna have them print one for me tomorrow

I found Gabi Payn on facebook and sent him a message telling him in depth about how I acquired his artwork, that I scanned it and cleaned it up and would like to get it printed as a poster, but since we are not 'facebook friends' the message will go to his 'other' folder so he may not see it. not only that but it shows his last update was over a year ago... does anyone have an alternative way of contacting him?

also IMDB says it used to be Gary... and now "she" is Gabi...

No need for the quote marks, the pronouns she and her are correct.

This is incredible!!!

picked up my poster today! when I paint my living room this spring I plan on having all my GB stuff out with this.

good thing I kept all my figures

Thanks for posting the hi-res scan! I had no clue the artist was found... that's really cool.

I believe the artist's identity came to light thanks to an interview with her on the Time Life DVD set.

Does anyone know where to find the best quality print reproduction of this design?

I remember getting a copy in Smash Hits UK magazine (I think) which I had proudly displayed on my wall as a kid.

I'm looking to put up a smaller, framed print in my study.

There is a cool 3D version on etsy but a little expensive for my budget atm.

I guess I could always print a copy for myself from digital. Thanks to joeghostbuster for scanning!
