S2 vs The "Real Deal"
CSM:

It's OK Ben. I agree on this one. A butchering for sure.
See usually on daybills the whole of the art is butchered so a terrible mug like that is less noticeable as it blends in nicely.
PS - I am no "fan" of the S2's. If I wanted the Mummy image I'd rather spend $10 on a more faithful reproduction even if it doesn't have the authentic period litho feel to it. But I can understand (somewhat) their appeal to others. But certainly not the $400+ worth of appeal they have attained many a time ---> that's ridiculous

I laughed.
Yeah, I don't get the hefty price tag on these. Are all of them altered so drastically?

not exactly "altered" Ben.
each one has an additional name in the bottom border - the artist who actually re-drew all of the posters for the S2Art prints.
I have a Kong 3sh here.. I never checked to see if it is exact.. But it probably isn't
of course, I don't know why what Greg Douglas (former guitarist for such bands as Steve Miller and Joe Walsh) is such a big deal.. If a major dealer like Grey, or Peter or Myself etc were to make the statement.. I could see that as a statement to critique.. Greg can hardly be classified as a dealer
S2Art prints are not reproductions, they are replicas

Used this on Bruce, and I like it...so:
MoviePosterBid.com:
what's the stare relate to Ben.. the S2's are recreations, not exact reprints. An artist completely re-drew every poster they produced in this series.
Greg Douglass... he's a rock musician, not a poster dealer
what else was there?
