I’m a 44yo attorney living in Washington DC working for Uncle Sam.

Although I had previously purchased a few movie posters here and there, my collecting “saga” really begins on March 20, 2009. I was wandering around downtown Denver during a ski trip when I spotted a movie poster store (Hollywood Movie Posters). I was immediately hooked! I’d joined art appreciation groups before and - frankly - the “prestige” art at museums bored me to tears. I could RELATE to these movie posters! Some of them featured artwork much more creative and intriguing than sleepy museum fare, some brought to mind my favorite movie memories, some were hilarious, and some were amazingly creative.

Since then, I’ve accumulated about 1200 posters and prints (as of May 2013). Approximately ninety percent of them are “original” movie posters, which were used in - or printed for use in - movie theaters. The rest of them are TV show posters, commercial posters, limited edition art prints, music posters, etc. I originally focused on modern US posters (1980+) but later expanded to posters from earlier decades and other countries, especially Italy, France, UK, and Japan.
