I went full Drew Struzan on this poster illustration with lots of gritty textures and pencil lines galore. I wanted to recapture the feel of the 70's, 80's and 90's when Movie Posters were still good and fun to look at.
As predicted, I also made some changes from the mock up by removing the other two portraits. They made the composition too crowded and threw the whole thing off balance so, I made an executive decision and opted for this final solution. I hope that you all enjoy it.
I am releasing this poster as a Limited Run Print of 50 signed and numbered, total. That's it. The Print will be a 20 X 30 in size in Theater Poster dimensions.
There are 49 Posters left. Order up before they're gone. No reruns.
If you want one, I am accepting orders right now. You can PM me for details and how to secure yours.
Thanks for lookin', Erik

PS: I'm also taking a vote of what you would like me to paint as a poster next that you would also be interested in buying. Leave your suggestions in the comments and I will take the most popular and do my thang.

O cartaz mais bonito de 2018? Talvez seja de “Shoplifters” do diretor Hirokazu Kore-eda que estreia em janeiro e ganhou o festival de Cannes deste ano. O pôster foi criado pelo artista Huang Hai para o lançamento do filme na China.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Limited Edition Collector's Poster
WIP 4
Starting to bring in a little color and some textures with a little background. Currently working on Ms. Garr. I'm still able to adjust size and arrangement of each subject as they are on their own separate layers. I tend to work big at first to get details in and then adjust accordingly.

Alternative film poster on A3 for the 1940s film 'Brief Encounter'. Simple idea. Its a film that has prominent scenes in a train station, so train ticket (the noel is the only Christmassy-ness that I'll be posting).

I did some more refining of Dillon and Dreyfuss last night so that I could start on Teri Garr today and possibly get to Francois Truffaut.

On the left is a Photoshop Mock Up reference I created. On the right is my progress on it thus far. There will be slight differences between the two. Changes in size on the subjects as well as my own artistic taste showing through. But the overall scheme, composition and color will be the same.

Why am I painting again?
So that I don't wind up in the news. It is the only thing that keeps me happy, content and "sane". Furthermore, I am currently seeking to acquire disability like I'm supposed to because of my mental health. I was told that it is not a good idea for me to be in the public work force. So, if and when I get disability, I will at that point, be back on art full time. Until then, I will just do the odd piece just to keep my sanity.
Thanks for taking a look,
Erik
