Movie Posters… Reimagined. I love movie posters, especially the older posters. The trend over the past 25 years-or-so has been to create movie posters and advertisements using photo-shopped photographs of actors as opposed to original illustrations depicting scenes from a film. While there are great posters created using this method, for the most part the movie poster has lost its place as a true form of art. I aspire to change that. The art I create is based on taking existing movie posters and advertisements and painting over them with the hope of bringing them back to life. Through coats of fresh paint, I recreate the poster and add to it a theme that I believe best represents the image initially printed on the paper.

It is my goal to reinterpret the movie posters that I paint into more artistic interpretations of the films they represent. I do this via a wide variety of artistic styles, from background color choices, to specific images painted over, or discarded, from the original poster. My works can best be described as a form of pop-art. The painters that most influence my work include Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein,  Franz Kline, Andy Warhol, and Peter Max.
