Everyone, as a child, had a cartoon character they could call a kindred spirit. I had the gypsy narrator of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The "Jester" and "The Hanged Man" tarot cards, revealing the duality of nature, helped me realize my idea. A little about the drawing: on the sides there were stained glass windows with the iconic symbols of the hero, a framing of the lyrics with the date of the book of the same name, the value of the card when turning to 6 and 9, and a gradient from the morning Fool's Feast to a nighttime incident in the Court of Miracles. The following is more about why I chose these arcana
"The Jester"
He is a messenger of chaos, committing actions that do not obey the general rules of conduct, puts the essence of the game. Inscrutable in its impermanence, whims and fancies. With everyone and no one at the same time, which makes him a crowd favorite. His motley, two-tone clothing suggests he exists on the border between the world of reality and fantasy. Is he aware of his loneliness or does he find it easy to be alone, devoting his life entirely to the service of others? This is one of his bright, attractive and public traits. What about the dark side?
"The Hanged Man"
Finds himself in a state of hovering, torn between male material and female spiritual energies. The craving for creative fulfillment (acting, singing) coupled with concern for the vulnerable segments of society (the leader of the Gypsy clan) does not give free time for spiritual growth, turning him into a victim of circumstances. On the other hand, the desire to be an executioner for outsiders turns into a noose around his neck from real justice. You never know who is ready to come to you with what intentions. Knowing how to trust people should come in handy at least once
To summarize the above, I'm pretty damn attracted to the ambiguity of human beings. After all, to some you are an escape from boredom and trouble, to others you are a thug and a parasite of society. Throwing the soul from the responsibilities of survival to creative fulfillment as a chance to be free.
I am madly happy to take part in a cool project, thanks to it I looked deeper inside myself, finding unexpected answers to questions that have been troubling me for a long time ¡

Okay so I don’t post a lot I will admit it.
But I’ve been OBSESSED with disneys the hunch back of Notre dame recently, and I may or may not have taking a serious liking to Quasimodo lol
So I might have drawn some things and might have caved and made a self insert for it

WALT DISNEY MOVIES by Ben Harman (2020-2024) - AMP: ALTERNATIVE MOVIE POSTERS (Part 1/10)
Long gone is the era where movie posters were designed and printed to make the moviegoer go wow with stunning artwork made by a skilled illustrator / designer.
That era ended in the late 80's-early 90's with the advent of photoshop and the standardization of production, creating images that would "fit" the needs of every country through "globalization", i.e. the denying of each nation and culture's singularities.
Thankfully salvation arrived in the late 2000's with independent movie theaters such as Alamo Drafthouse and their merchandising arm, Mondo, who commissioned vibrant new creators / designers / Artists to create limited edition prints for the classic movies being screened.
In just 3 years by 2011, Mondo became a powerhouse releasing hundreds of prints (limited from 75 to 200 copies only) which sold out instantly (literally in less than 30 seconds!!!) on their website. Their example was followed by other theaters (Castro in San Francisco...) and Galleries (Bottleneck, Spoke Art, Mad Duck, DarkHall Mansion...) launching not only a truly Artistic movement called AMP, Alternative Movie Posters but also a new generation of incredibly talented creators / illustrators which THIS 10 PART BLOG is devoted to.
We start with most of the incredble limited eidtion prints create dby Ben Harman from his Disney series. he also did a Pixar series (Click on each image for details).
Director: Clyde Geronimi, Wolfgang Reitherman
