This print was part of the Los Angeles Hero Complex Gallery exhibition "Directed By...". A showing of posters inspired by movies created by various directors. My print was for 'The Shining". I held back some copies to offer to my own collectors directly after the alloted galleries copies sold like crazy at the opening night of the show.
You may remember that I used this image back in 2012 for a gig poster for a band in Singapore called 'Double Trouble'. I have always wanted to make a movie poster version of this image. With an invitation to take part in this exhibition in LA I'm now offering this as a movie poster of 'The Shining' by Stanley Kubrick. To me, it's one of the greatest horror films of all time and a personal favorite of mine. Since opting to make this new version of the image I've gone back into the separations and added more detail including polka dots to the girls dresses and a pattern on their stockings. I've also added Jack Nicholson's eyes in the title logo and wasps in the corner flowers in the border design, which was a visual symbol in the movie of Jack's growing anger and madness.
This poster measures 18"x 24" and is a 7 color screen print with glow on the dark ink creating skeletons of the Grady Twins as well as a hatchet with splatter across the logo when the lights go out.
