I am still hunting for this poster

[MK]

It is a poster from a series called "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Gottfried Helnwein.

I have been looking for this for six months with no luck. If anyone runs across it, please pick it up for me. If you see it, don't walk away from it. I will gladly buy it from you.

Thanks.

I've been keeping up my search for you too, buddy. No luck yet. Closest I got was a shop in NY saying they could order it and get it in a week. I was leaving the next day, so didn't do me any good. Don't know if he was just blowing smoke, or not, but next trip up, I'll stop back in and see if they can ship it after ordering. Any place around me here have basically said the same thing, 'try this or that catalog'. At this point, I'm thinking smaller mom and pop shops might be more of help than the run of the mill mall frame shops.

I'll still be keeping my eyes out.

Thanks buddy. No one can order it because it has been out of print for some time.

BTW: Your little lady is on her way back.

Hey MK,

I'm not sure if this is it, but according to this web site www.artexpression.com they have it. Here is the link http://www.artexpression.com/byimage/MEWGH252.htm).
I hope this is it.

Thanks but that one is only 11 inches tall. I am looking for the movie poster size....which about 40 inches or so.

I'm as giddy as a schoolboy. Thanks. Hope your trip goes well.

Actually- a poster from that same series is posted in the men's bathroom at a local pizza place. I wonder where they got it?

 

[MK]

The other ones are easier to find.....especially the "Night Hawks" version. You can find the James Dean version on e-bay most of the time.....but the Bogie.....

 

[MK]

I think I finally found it.

I will let you know if it actually arrives.

 

[mmarosy]

I hope it works out for you! If so, please fill in the details on how you got it. It's been a fruitless search on this side of the continent!

The site is called stealthseposters.com.......In fact......the poster was removed from the webpage as soon as I ordered it.

That scared me......but not as bad as the response to the my e-mail asking if it was sold out now. They said something like "Yes. We can ask our distributor if they have more. How many are you interested in?".

I thought, oh boy. They never had one and now they are looking for one to full fill the order. I fired back an e-mail asking him to be crystal clear if they had my poster and were shipping it to me. I waited on pins and needles for the reply....which didn't come quick.

They finally did respond and assured me that they indeed had the poster but it was their last one. The site automatically removed it.

I received an e-mail from them with the tracking number yesterday. It was sent priority mail.

I am not counting my chickens before they are hatched though.......but my fingers are crossed.

Good luck MK. I've been in the same kind of situation myself and the waiting is very painful. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Regards Phil

It did arrive. It looks used....but in good condition. It is out being framed.

The search is over.

 

[mmarosy]

I'm happy for you buddy! So will it hang over your Bogart table?

Mike

 

[MK]

I am giving my office a make-over. New paint, new carpet, new moldings......just for starters. I am not sure which Bogart poster will be with the Bogart table yet.

You can copy the poster and wallpaper your office with it.

So are you taking your Star Wars posters down? I'm glad you found what you were looking for. It's funny I read this post tonight. Just this afternoon my mom and I were eating at a quaint little diner in Fort Worth which had posters up of Lucille Ball, The 3 Stooges, and one of those Elvis/Marilyn/Bogie/James Dean posters. I actually looked around the restaurant for your poster MK in hopes they might have it so I could find out where they got it and relay that info to you. But they didn't have it.

 

[MK]

Thanks Holly. That was nice of you.

Good to see you here again. Long-time-no-see.

 

[MK]

It is back from framing. It is a whopping 46 inch poster. It is a beau-day.

It's good to be back. I don't make it here as much as I'd like, but it feels good to be back. I've been in the middle of moving recently and my online time this past month has been minimal.
