Welles Mugs
Description: My film poster for The Third Man is my tribute to one of the greatest films of all time, and my very favorite film noir. From the eerie, unique zither music soundtrack to the striking cinematography to the beautiful Vienna, Austria setting to the brilliant writing and directing to the exceptional acting, The Third Man is, quite simply, a perfect film. And Orson Welles was a big part of this perfection.
Description: Version 2 of my artwork for The Third Man featuring the inimitable Orson Welles recalls the grand sewer chase at the crescendo of the film, particularly one very famous and beautiful shot where Harry Lime freezes while running, and his silhouette is backlit by the sewer entrance, which I stylized to be a perfect circle in greyscale gradient banding, true to my Mod Pop Art style.

Description: Version 3 of my artwork for The Third Man featuring the inimitable Orson Welles recalls one of the greatest and coolest screen entrances of all time, as Harry Lime attempts to hide in the dark from Holly Martins, but the apartment light illuminates just his face along with a very Welles-ian coy grin, revealing the shocking truth that he is in fact very much alive. As Welles himself said, the role of Harry Lime was a "star part" - meaning one in which the character is spoken of often until finally making an entrance - and he played it to perfection.
