“The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” was a cult success on its release with Wes Anderson’s loyal fanbase hailing another solid cinematic offering, it is most certainly an unusual film.

Also, when Star and Laddie are being carried into Sam’s room, you can see a poster of Echo & The Bunnymen, who recorded the version used in the movie.
What is Giclee ?
Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.
The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.
Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

“Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a vampire.”
Striking alternative movie poster for Joel Schumacher’s cult 1987 vampire classic “The Lost Boys”, featuring artwork by celebrated British illustrator Graham Humphreys.
Humphreys is one of Britain’s most recognisable horror film illustrators, with a career spanning more than four decades. He became closely associated with the genre during the 1980s through his work for Palace Pictures, creating memorable British poster artwork for films including “The Evil Dead”, “Evil Dead II” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. Influenced by horror cinema and the visual energy of the British punk scene, Humphreys developed a distinctive painted style that has become particularly associated with the golden age of 1980s horror. Remarkably, he continues to produce his artwork using traditional paint on paper rather than digital illustration.
For “The Lost Boys”, Humphreys’ wonderfully atmospheric composition brings together the film’s principal characters, with Kiefer Sutherland as David dominating the artwork in full vampire form, surrounded by Corey Haim, Jami Gertz and members of the vampire gang. The dark blue and blood-red palette perfectly captures the stylish gothic horror of the film, while the famous tagline, “Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a vampire.”, appears across the top.
This beautiful poster measures 24 x 36 inches and is hand-numbered 33/87 from the limited edition. It is rolled (as issued) and presented in excellent condition.
A fantastic combination of one of the defining vampire films of the 1980s and the work of an artist whose imagery has become synonymous with British horror poster design…“Something I never could stomach about Santa Carla, all the damn vampires!”

“It seems that you’ve been living two lives. One life, you’re Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company. You have a social security number, pay your taxes, and you… help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is lived in computers, where you go by the hacker alias “Neo” and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not.”
On its release at the dawn of a new Millenia the Wachowski Brother’s ground breaking science fiction blockbuster “The Matrix” influenced everything from fashion, technology, how movies are made and introducing us to…Bullet-Time. This 2025 alternative movie poster by Pablo Olivera is an outstanding re-design that takes you to the heart of the matrix with its wealth of lore and symbology from the mega-hit, Pablo’s print is a thrilling look back at the film’s imagery and themes – “You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”. It is a fine art giclee print where the colours literally pop from the paper and one of best examples I have seen that uses this printing process – the colours, in this case neon pinks, purples and blues are incredibly rich giving a true hand painted effect. This Purple Variant edition has been Hand-Numbered #11/75 that represents a cool looking film poster from a “game-changing” movie. A true modern classic that displays superbly and is presented in excellent rolled condition.
Trivia: All scenes that take place within the Matrix have a green tint, as if watching them through a computer monitor. Scenes in the real world have a blue tint. Blue was also used at a minimum within the Matrix, since the directors thought blue was more of a real-world color (despite, ironically, blue being often the least-occurring color in nature). The fight scene between Morpheus and Neo, which is neither in the real world, nor in the Matrix, is tinted yellow.

The other life is lived in computers, where you go by the hacker alias “Neo” and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not.”
Capturing the distinctive style of “The Matrix” (1999), this striking original US Subway poster places Keanu Reeves as Neo at the centre of a commanding ensemble portrait. Flanked by Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus, Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity and Joe Pantoliano as Cypher, the characters appear against a background of cascading computer code. Dark leather, narrow sunglasses and the prominent title treatment give the design its unmistakable identity.
Written and directed by the Wachowskis, the film follows a computer hacker who discovers that his familiar world is a simulated reality. Its innovative “bullet time” effects, allowing the viewpoint to move around action unfolding in extreme slow motion, helped redefine cinematic action. Combining this visual invention with questions of identity, control and free will, “The Matrix” became a truly influential landmark of science-fiction cinema.
Measuring 46 x 60 inches, this ultra-rare large-format US Subway poster gives the imagery tremendous visual impact. Presented rolled, as issued, in excellent condition, it is an impressive display piece for collectors of “The Matrix”, science-fiction cinema and vintage movie memorabilia.

“Johnny’s a Dull Boy” – An early example of alternative movie poster (AMP) design and a perfect example of why this area has grown so quickly in the collectables market – it’s a an incredible image, which reminds me very much of the surrealistic poster designs that originated in Eastern Europe. David O’Daniel’s interpretation for “The Shining” art print is hand-signed and numbered #74/100 and comes from 2010 where it was used to advertise a limited screening of “The Shining” at the Castro Theatre, San Francisco. The Castro was one of the earliest exponents for showcasing AMPs, commissioning a number of ‘new’ artists to promote their upcoming screenings. Presented in rolled, unfolded (as issued) condition this stunning example displays and presents to excellent effect.

A perfect example of Ise Ananphada’s distinctive style and also why I love the whole alternative movie poster movement. Each artist brings something different to a title and that is why so many titles have such an incredible inventory of beautifully designed posters. Referring to Ananphada’s own website is probably the best way to explain her style –
She is very well for the maximal illustration style, which features delicate details and expansive colour palettes. Ise’s work is well-known for her delicate illustration and a variety of forms, all of which are presented in the fullest elegance. While her aerial rendering technique and use of vibrant colours seem to showcase just the artist’s personality, if you look closely at the complex elements of her work, you’ll discover layers of symbolism that she had referred to as “visions, illusions, madness, artistry, and poetry”
Her print for Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” is the perfect example of these sentiments and is one of the most detailed and complex prints she has produced. Every iconic moment (and some not so iconic) from the movie are included. I particularly like the concept as the Overlook Hotel acts as the header (this starts the movie) and the snowbound maze (finishes the movie) is the footer. The scenes in between create the journey through the whole film. This really is a clever print that reveals new elements with each new viewing. Presented in rolled, unfolded (as issued) condition this stunning example is hand-numbered from an edition of 150 and presents to excellent effect.

“A reclusive, morbidly obese English teacher attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter.”
The poster marketing campaign for any Darren Aronofsky movie is always special, with Aronofsky himself always personally involved with the design. For his Academy Award winning “The Whale” in 2022, a signed and numbered limited edition giclée print by James Jean was commissioned for the film. The print features a custom embossment and gold foil embellishments, each signed by both the artistJames Jean and Darren Aronofsky. There are very few in existence, with the example offered here, an even scarcer Artist Proof, hand-numbered #22/50 HC. One of the best looking movie related posters of recent years presented in high grade investment condition.
James Jean had this to say on the commission – “After Darren screened The Whale for me last year and asked me to create its poster, I immediately thought of Lucien Freud’s paintings of Leigh Bowery, and Kiki Smith’s self portrait, My Blue Lake. In the latter, Smith used a special camera to capture the periphery of her torso, resulting in an image that reads like a topographical map of her skin. While drawing Charlie (Brendan Fraser), I tried to channel Freud’s intimate yet unforgiving observations of Bowery. The depth of Charlie’s grief in the film is manifest in the expansive landscape of his body, barely able to contain all the feeling within. The skin is but a thin boundary between the external and internal worlds. In my drawing, his pain is full bleed and stretches beyond the margins, but his humanity and optimism breach the surface in the peaks and valleys of his face. A subtle texture of crumpled paper is embedded in the portrait, referencing the essay Charlie clutches in his hands throughout the film, an artifact from his daughter’s childhood that he cherishes for years and keeps him anchored away from the brink”
Trivia: Following its debut screening at the Venice Film Festival, both the movie and lead actor, Brendan Fraser, were given a six-minute standing ovation. The moment, caught on camera, brought Fraser to tears.
