Six and a half years ago, I started a group to commission posters for classic films. All non-profit, limited screenprints.

Our first was this beauty by @GregRuth for one of my favorite films of all time.
We followed that with a commission for my Father's favorite film of all time - with @AJFrena
For our third print - we worked with artist @xul1349
For our fourth print, we worked with @VanceKelly on this bit of psychedelia. The purple smoke really makes it pop.
We followed that with our second of four prints with @GregRuth - another passion project...
We loved @AJFrena's first print so much we brought her back to capture this legendary moment.
For our third @gregruth print - we went a different direction, with Greg using a sumi ink technique rather than his usual graphite magic.
For our third go-round with @ajfrena we went with the '33 Kong. As with all of these full size 24x36 prints - the thumbnail doesn't even come close to doing it justice.
We followed that with a project with Juan Esteban Rodriguez (who I can't find on twitter, but you can find him at https://www.instagram.com/juanestebanjer/  )

For this one we did a variant black & white print that pops with a hint of silver nitrate..
After that we worked with legendary album cover artist @Arik_Roper for this set of prints.
One of our members brought in a project with @Cakes_Comics that brought this cult classic to stylish life...
For our fourth, and sadly final project with the much-in-demand @GregRuth we came up with this inspired bit of unpleasantness...
Next we hired a then-unknown poster artist named Karl Fitzgerald ( https://www.instagram.com/karlfitzgeraldart/?hl=en) for this one. He was still experimenting with style before settling on his current painted work - but I love the European stylings on this one...
Noted poster artist @Raid71 joined us for this next one - which is my wife's favorite film. It hangs in her quarantine home office today.
Next up, I was lucky enough to work with Criterion artist @caitlinkuhwald for this print for my Mother's favorite movie...
For our next print, a member brought in graphic designer @seekandspeak for this bit of clever design...
For his follow-up to Westworld, @Cakes_Comics revisited the sci-fi 70s...
Next up is simply one of my favorites that we ever did with the legendary @westonfront. It's particularly amazing in person...
And for our most recent print - we worked with @rulingsnout on this stone-cold classic. The slight yellow tint really makes it feel like it's a long-lost artifact rather than a brand new poster...
Somewhere in the list, I missed this much sought-after piece by @RoryKurtz. One of the few private commissions he's ever done.
I've got two more in the works with @rulingsnout
and new artist @hunterross317 that are going to knock your socks off when I can share them.
Anyway, here's my advice: if you're going to have a mid-life crisis... MAKE SOMETHING.
