Barkskins series premiere TV billboard...

There's nothing like a giant bloody handprint waving at you as you pass by to grab your attention, so this billboard for National Geographic's Barkskins series really stands out along the Sunset Strip.

The historical drama is based on Annie Proulx's best-selling 2016 novel of the same name and is about the conflict over North America's New France in the late 1600s.

The mini-series spans over 300 years and chronicles the deforestation of the New World with the arrival of the Europeans and tells the story of two indentured immigrants to New France, who work as Lumberjacks, or Barkskins, and their descendants.

This super-sized billboard for the limited series was photographed along West Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard on the side of the Andaz Hotel on May 13, 2020.

From the looks of this key art the life of a woodcutter was bloody hard during colonial times, although not as hard a life as the Indigenous People we're sure, so enjoy and be enlightened by this new slice of televisual history.
