This is the Polish B1 poster for the release (in 1989) of Joe Dante’s (opens in a new tab) 1987 sci-fi comedy Innerspace (opens in a new tab), in which Dennis Quaid (opens in a new tab) plays the brilliantly named Tuck Pendleton, a loudmouth test pilot who is shrunken to miniature size as part of an experiment and then accidentally injected into the body of hypochondriac Jack Putter (Martin Short (opens in a new tab)) during a robbery at a science lab. Madcap high-jinks ensue and the films nods heavily in the direction of the classic sci-fi film Fantastic Voyage. The film is definitely one of the high points in the myriad of high-concept films of the 1980s and I rate it as one of Joe Dante’s best films.

This poster was designed and illustrated by Andrzej Pagowski (opens in a new tab), a prolific film poster artist who was born in Warsaw in 1953 and studied at the celebrated University of Fine Arts in Poznań, graduating in 1978 under the tutorship of the noted artist Waldemar Świerzy (opens in a new tab). In 1990 he started his own graphic design studio called Studio P, which he developed into an advertising agency by 1993. According to the biography on his official site (opens in a new tab), Pagowski has illustrated over 1000 posters during his career and has also done work for books, magazines and music covers. In addition, he is also a TV and theatre stage designer and a screen writer. Undoubtedly a man of many talents! His official site features an extensive gallery of his work (opens in a new tab), including several of the posters. Polishposter.com also features multiple pages worth (opens in a new tab) of his movie posters and this culture.pl article (opens in a new tab) is well worth a read too.

You can check out the other posters I own that were created by Pagowski.
