Description of Process for this Submission
The scene I most rememeber from “The Godfather” is the one where Sonny's car is machine-gunned with thousands of bullets at a speedway turnpike. This poster is a typographic representation of that scene.

Process: I took a cardboard sheet, punched it with scissors, inked it with silver ink, and used it as a block to print it on black paper. The main actors and actresses were printed with metal type and gold ink in a second print-run.

It is part of the series “Movie Prints”, a limited edition of twenty-five prints that interpret in a typographic key some of my favorite films.
