A little back ground from New Flesh on this killer poster:
"About a year ago I was commissioned to create a poster to commemorate the movie The Exorcist. The 40th anniversary was coming up and it was going to be a nice thing to celebrate the film.
The Exorcist, while being one of the scariest films of all time, is ultimately about a priest's crisis of faith, guilt, and ability to fight and a very personal spiritual battle. I tried to convey this emotion and intensity with contrast and oppressive shadows in the illustration. By using a more stark composition, I hope to achieve a singular or at least striking image.
In the end, the print was approved and given the go ahead to be printed by the film's director William Friedkin. I was floored when he also generously offered to sign the variant run." -NE
A little aside on the variant:
Since I first started printing posters I have always been interested in using different papers and materials to print on and with (Holy water, anyone? wink). While most screen prints use fairly good paper to print on they are ultimately not made to stand the test of time. This fact (and the urging of my mentor and guardian angel John Davis) led me to use Arches on the variant run. This paper is incredible and literally will last generations.-NE
