Sorry, but this is just awful. Is that supposed to be Scarlett Johansson?

I disagree, and clearly it's SJ.

Also, I'm going to guess its part of a diptych, with the second HCG print from Sperry coming later this week.

No idea on how cool it might be, just a guess considering the way the figure with his back to us is cut in half.

Anyone who doesn't think this looks like Scarjo should just move on to collecting photographs and not screen prints. This isn't the hobby for you.

My issue with the print, and this applies to most of squirt's movie prints, is that it is simply a representation of a character in the movie. I haven't seen this movie yet obvi but what is it about this scene that represents the movie other than the fact that it's Scarlet looking perky and cute in a screen shot? Aside from the excitement I get when looking at a Sperry and an exquisitely executed serigraph, it's just boring. If Chuck could marry his immeasurable talents with a more cerebral take on a movie, the sky would be the limit.

I agree with you, but I still love the print. Evokes film noir posters from the 1940s.

It will not be part of a Sperry dyptich - the second HCG surprise, released today was "Et tu, Baird" by Glen Brogan for Hail Caesar

I think he got as much nipple poking through as he could on a studio approved print

What's the point in complaining about a Sperry digital mockup? We all know they're a billion times nicer printed.
just a foil for me today, thanks
