John Alvin

       
John Alvin (11/24/48 - 2/6/2008)

John attended the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles and graduated in 1971. 
John was a American artist and painter who created posters for movies throughout his career; his first movie art was Blazing Saddles. Other notable movies I personally enjoyed was E.T., Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings, just to name a few. In Johns over thirty year career he created over 135 movie posters.
The man behind the art will never get the recognition of the films he supplied posters for; today I add a new face to the poster ...
