EXCLUSIVE DIGITAL ART PRINTS
HOLLYWOOD DIGITAL ART PRINTS
The Hollywood Collection contains original photographs taken between the period of 1976-1998. It was a time when the last stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood still graced our screens, legendary names such as Charlton Heston, Gregory Peck, Marlon Brando, Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn. Since then, Grauman’s (Mann’s) Chinese Theater has been significantly remodeled, losing much of its original charm, and in particular the neon dragons that once witnessed the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogartkneeling to leave their impressions on the frontage. The Hollywood Bowl has similarly undergone a significant facelift. Its original iconic band shell, under which such stars as Bob Dylan, The Doors, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland once performed, was completely replaced in 2003.
Shot mostly on a professional 6×6 format camera, The Hollywood Collection captures those bygone days. These exclusive Digital Art Prints (14″ x 11″) are a perfect addition to the collection of any movie enthusiast, or a classic piece of vintage memorabilia for that retro man or woman cave.
THE MGM AUCTION, 1970 – A TIME TO REMEMBER
It was in 1970 that perhaps the most significant moment in the history of movie memorabilia took place. The location was the backlot of the MGM Studios, and the event was the auctioning of the entire contents of seven sound stages.
UNIVERSAL HORROR – THE HOLY GRAIL OF MEMORABILIA
It is one of the oddities of the movie memorabilia world that some of the most valuable items to pass through the auction rooms do not belong to Oscar laden blockbusters or the most prominent of stars. Instead, they hail from a series of relatively low-budget movies made by Universal in the 1930s.
COLLECTING MOVIE MEMORABILIA – ONE STORY
Collecting movie memorabilia began for me as a childhood interest in the late 1960s, that rapidly became something of an obsession. At only twelve years old, I would take myself off on the 200 or so mile journey to London, where I would hurry through the sleazy backstreets of Soho and into Chinatown.
SPAGHETTI WESTERN DIGITAL ART PRINTS
The Spaghetti Western Collection contains rare original photographs taken in 1979 at the Poblado Del Oeste movie studio in Almeria, Spain. Many classic Westerns, such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, Hannie Caulder, and The Spike’s Gang, had been shot on its dusty streets and in the subaked desert surrounding.
At the time, the location’s popularity had faded and the studio had largely become a forgotten ghost town. In more recent years, the site has been developed into a Western theme park. Limited to 500 copies per print.
JIM MORRISON PARIS DIGITAL ART PRINTS
The iconic monument to Jim Morrison is but a distant memory, having been stolen from its home in Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, in 1988. The Paris Limited Edition Collection was shot in the Spring of 1982 on a professional 6×6 format camera, and captured the details of the monument in all its glory. At that time, the bust had been in place for just over six months, and the photographs represent some of the earliest surviving images. Complete with a personally numbered certificate, each of these 11″x14″ Limited Edition Digital Art Prints make a rare addition to the collection of any Jim Morrison fan. Limited to 500 Copies per print.
THE DEATH OF JIM MORRISON IN PARIS
Jim Morrison arrived in Paris in March, 1971, joining his long-term girlfriend Pamela Courson. Behind him lay a meteoric, if not somewhat controversial rise to rock stardom.
IN SEARCH OF JIM MORRISON IN PARIS
For those fans unfamiliar with Jim Morrison’s final resting place in Père Lachaise Cemetery, their first visit can come as something of a shock. For Père Lachaise is unlike any other graveyard they are likely to have encountered.
A FEAST OF FRIENDS – THE PHOTOGRAPHER’S STORY
The Photographer’s own account of the shoot describes the experience best and is guaranteed to revive many memories…
STALAG LUFT III ‘GREAT ESCAPE’ DIGITAL ART PRINTS
There can be no denying that The Great Escape remains one of the most enduring events of World War II. These Limited Edition Digital Art Prints (14″ x 11″) commemorate the bravery and tragic deaths of The Fifty escapees, while also recognizing the efforts of all those involved. They are taken directly from the original surviving Wartime Log of someone who was actually a part of the event throughout. RAF F/LT R. W. Keen was a POW in Hut 122 (Home of Tunnel Dick) in the North Compound of Stalag Luft III from April, 1943 through to its evacuation in January, 1945. Each stunning Digital Art Print is limited to only 500 copies.
