Alfred Hitchcock left a peerless legacy of the stylishly macabre. In this year’s Hollywood Portfolio, Keira Knightley, Javier Bardem, Seth Rogen, and other stars channel iconic moments from the director’s greatest hits. (see the whole slide show)

About this particular painting (via ArtBreak):

“this piece has had some very much appreciated publicity recently (August 2009), unfortunately the original painting no longer exists and I’m not overly happy with the quality of the prints, I will be repainting this on a large canvas with much more detail. The original painting and a limited run of sign prints will be available here.”

About James Hance:

“I paint in acrylics, mainly on wood board. I pick up well-loved and slightly sorry looking frames from thrift stores and the like as I feel they sometimes offer just as much character to the painting as the painting itself. :)

I’m inspired by television and movies from my childhood. It’s funny how you watch some of those things today and wonder why you were so obsessed with them at the time. I remember the Fonz being SO much cooler than he actually was. My paintings are basically just placards screaming ‘Childhood! It was amazing! I want it forever, please!’ I paint mainly in my pajamas, watching the Muppet Show and eating cereal. I’d like to think it shows.” (more)
