Speaking of my movie obsessions, I notice he did an alternate poster for Phantom of the Paradise.
I think his was for a re-release. They used to do that with movies, remember?
Oops, my mistake.
Mr. Alvin's poster was first. The one I have is called Style C.
More than you ever wanted to know here.
That's some amazing body of work.
