Description: Be Your Own Illustrated Man (Promotional temporary tattoos for the 1969 film) Author: Ray Bradbury (short stories); Jack Smight (director); Howard B. Kreitsek (screenwriter); Rod Steiger (starring) Title: Be Your Own Illustrated Man (Promotional temporary tattoos for the 1969 film) Publication: Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers / Seven Arts, 1969 Description: Six vintage temporary tattoos, issued as a promotional item for the 1969 film. With both the original envelope housing the tattoos, and a Warner Brothers mailing envelope addressed to film critic, photographer, and poet Michael S. Dworkin. The decals are inspired by the designs for the tattoos sported by actor Rod Steiger in the film, with the promotional copy inviting the recipient to "be your own illustrated man." The only example we have encountered, unsurprising given the temporary nature of the item. Based on three short stories from Bradbury's acclaimed collection, "The Veldt," "The Long Rain," and "The Last Night of the World." Tattoos variously sized between 4.25 x 5.75 and 8.75 x 4 inches. All but one tissue guard attached. Bright and Near Fine. Promotional envelope 5.25 x 10 inches. Chip to the envelope flap and some bruising from having been opened, else Near Fine.
