WALT DISNEY MOVIES by Ben Harman (2020-2024) - AMP: ALTERNATIVE MOVIE POSTERS (Part 1/10)
Long gone is the era where movie posters were designed and printed to make the moviegoer go wow with stunning artwork made by a skilled illustrator / designer.
That era ended in the late 80's-early 90's with the advent of photoshop and the standardization of production, creating images that would "fit" the needs of every country through "globalization", i.e. the denying of each nation and culture's singularities.
Thankfully salvation arrived in the late 2000's with independent movie theaters such as Alamo Drafthouse and their merchandising arm, Mondo, who commissioned vibrant new creators / designers / Artists to create limited edition prints for the classic movies being screened.
In just 3 years by 2011, Mondo became a powerhouse releasing hundreds of prints (limited from 75 to 200 copies only) which sold out instantly (literally in less than 30 seconds!!!) on their website. Their example was followed by other theaters (Castro in San Francisco...) and Galleries (Bottleneck, Spoke Art, Mad Duck, DarkHall Mansion...) launching not only a truly Artistic movement called AMP, Alternative Movie Posters but also a new generation of incredibly talented creators / illustrators which THIS 10 PART BLOG is devoted to.
We start with most of the incredble limited eidtion prints create dby Ben Harman from his Disney series. he also did a Pixar series (Click on each image for details).

One of my favorite actresses is ANGIE DICKINSON whom I discovered and fell in love as a pre-teen watching countless episodes of Police Woman on TV as she played detective Suzanne 'Pepper'' Anderson with grit and sexiness.
Angie Dickinson is more than legs (she insured her for 1 million dollars), Frank Sinatra's on-off lover and Burt Bacharach's wife. whom she married.
She is a gorgeous, sexy and most important talented actresses whose career saw her perform in all movie genres as well as countless TV movies.
A career she put on pause to take care of her daughter who suffered intense mental issues and whom subsequently committed suicide.
Angie Dickinson is still with us aged 93 and we're all the better for it. This 10 Part Blog pays homage to her beauty and career with a selection of 10 of her movies shot between 1959 and 1969 with posters from all around the world.
We start with the movie that propelled her at the top of Hollywood's echelon in 1959, i.e. the classic western Rio Bravo whom she co-starred next to John Wayne and Dean Martin.
