I'd call it a top ten Horkey IMHO. Love the color.
ALthough I should prolly see some close ups of that rendering before making a judgement.

Since the print is a giclee I am assuming that the original is either an acrylic painting or some kind of watercolor from the look of it. Is there any info on this ?
Also , the movie Dead Man came out in around 1996. Is this poster for some kind of re-release ? Was it produced just for a re-screening of the movie ?
The illustration inside the scroll does somehow capture the mood of the movie without using any of the movies key figures.
Horkey is able to rely on his own familiar elements... the Horkey tree, the headless dear, to illustrate another concept.
The dear having a rose for a head is completely arbitrary in context, but who cares when the work is this good. ?

top notch rendering, this is the first time I've seen this kind of brushwork from Horkey.
from the looks of it, he's done a good deal of painting I haven't seen.
I'm curious to know the medium. Acrylic I assume ... ?

i apologize to anyone who fought a grizzly bear to make it to a computer. i appreciate the support.
I try to avoid posting negative comments, especially about a print I have not seen in person, but I figure with all the raging enthusiasm for this print, it might be good to stir the pot a bit.
Firstly--I am definitely NOT a fan of giclees--though I understand this is apparently necessary to bring out the details of this print,
Which leads me to my major impression--this reminds me of the sort of art/furniture that would be in a European Palace (?Second Empire style)--as much detail and gold gilt as can be achieved. More is not always better.

i could not disagree more. this is flawless. composition, lettering, colour choice, execution. perfect.
