Pink Floyd Back Poster

My friend recently bought the Pink Floyd Poster "Back Catalogue." Wr can't decide on how this was done. Here's the best picture I can find. Did they paint everything on the women, just a backdrop, or paint everything? The Wall woman looks fake, but Wish You Were here has realistic hair. Any help is appreciated, as it is rather difficult to search for this kind of stuff.

It would be fun to search for this stuff.

Well, at least for me. I don't know how you swing, Paul.

Anyway, I think it was a simple case of airbrushing the backs of a few paid models and letting the cameraman Have A Nice Day. And I've spent time looking at it. Lots of time. Repeatedly.

...

Am I still here? Damn.
