Cool Sue!!!
well then you will like this..i liked it so much..i had a artist
re-create itand made a sculpture and named it Muriel after my 6th grade
teacher MURIEL SAXTON who said i could do something in life..
my real name should have been Tom Marotta/ dad nevermarried mom and
left.../ my dad was Sicilian,,and Muriel said her fave Italian painteter
was Carlos Maratta from 1500s..she said you could be related..
wel when i looked they say the name is spelled different in regions of
sicily she gave me a small painting repro of his madonna and child
painting so i guess i could be related as my dads folks came off the
boat
lived in Rochester ny
I never went in production on the muriel statue shes airbrushed and
holding a tray likea candy girl..biz cards fit in the tray..i pictured
it in a catalog..
wanted to do a ceramic one..
i have the original sculpt,,one ofthe many ideas of new produsts i had
in progress but didntmake.. for lack of fund..she's very cool.
Mrs Saxton also bought me a pair of shoes as we were very poor in
60s..single mom...both she and the Gymteacher mr perkins the phys ed
teacher, mentored me..
I did my 1st band show in the grade school at age 13 around 1967-68 at
the talent show...they told me to never give up, and i could do
things...so even as a poor student..i was inspired by them..then by
1971=72 i played music and by 77 sold memorabilia..
Friends and family, mentors and God is why i never stopped trying...
so thankful for Mentors
and
friend like you Sue and mopo members for teaching me so much and telling
me
i could overcome adversity..
we all have to learn by suffering, mistakes, setbacks..we learn that
love..and friendships are the pillars of hope !

Hey Tom,
I love Blanche the ticket taker. That was from Filmex in Century City
way back when. It was one of the first non movie posters, per se, that
I bought, framed and had hanging on my wall for over 40 years....I
love that
poster.

SUBJECT: Re: [MOPO] Gee - What Happened to What's your Favorite
Poster in Your collection
funny question.. what is yours Sue??
as the art is one reason..in that case i always liked the amsel
raiders
of lost ark
all Drew Struzan's like Bttf, star wars..etc.
but I also like the movies and the only posteri have on display is
the
cast insert 1864 Its a mad mad mad mad world..
as i dont have any posters on the walls at all....
its in a sleeve and is not a attractive poster just pics of cast.
as for art there are just so many i can neverpic just a few.
and I like all from stone lithos on up//
so i could never pick just a few
even as my faves maybe its a wonderful life..I have some
reproductions
but never have displayed.
I enjoy justlooking at the art in catalogs, collections, books
and hearing others..
Ive seen some great art in auction catalogs or Bruces Books and each
day
i see some on theinternet//
of great movies...I don't need to own
to be able to enjoy them
even though ive sold posters since 1977
i have one other a 1976 Alvin poster of the film usherette of a film
festival...
alvin"s et..and bladerunner were others i liked.. Peak, Alvin, Drew,
amsel liked their work
most pre 80s posters are cool.
I am nota collector really
as i like many of them..
there are so many visually pleasing posters and art i wonder how
anyone
can pick a selection..
some poster that the movie hits me..i don't even want to look at as
they
make me emotional,,too strong and dont want to be reminded.
maybe its just me.
or maybe we all have feel good posters over ones that tear at us
emotionally
