Patricia Bags
Description: A portrait in blood-red ink of author Patricia Highsmith (1921-95). A problematic human being, but a superb writer of thrillers featuring sexually ambivalent antiheroes: Strangers on a Train, The Talented Mr Ripley and many others. She was always remarkably open about her sexuality. “The only difference between us and heterosexuals is what we do in bed.”
Description: Gary Oldman is an Oscar winner and one of the most respected and revered actors ever. But to me, his best work is still playing the disgusting pimp Drexl Spivey in True Romance. Drexl is a central character to the story, though Oldman is essentially only in one scene ... a legendary scene so good it would have stolen the whole movie if not for the Walken/Hopper scene.
Description: If you're here checking out this design, chances are good you understand; I don't need to explain to you the glory of True Romance. So many giants of cinema are in this film. Most are one- or two-scene performances, but many would say they make the movie. The best of them - Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Dennis Hopper, and James Gandolfini - blew me away to the point that I felt they deserved the full 4-tone shaded Plaid treatment, despite the minuscule screen time. Also available as a Ltd. Ed. fine art print @ www.PlaidDesign.co/TrueRomance, each of the elements of this design are their own separate art pieces, so putting it all together was a task that took weeks to complete. Hope you dig it!
Description: The True Romance design celebrates the classic Tony Scott adaptation of a Quentin Tarantino script. Starring Christian Slater as Clarence Worley and Patricia Arquette as Alabama Whitman, the classic crime comedy features a whole host of big names in supporting roles including Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt and James Gandolfini.
