What can you say… Probably my favorite movie of all time. I remember getting sold out for tickets to see it opening day, and actually crying as Joel Siegel, ABC’s late great Movie critic, who was on location at a theatre interviewing the lucky many wth tickets entering the theatre. And I hadn’t even seen the movie yet. You see Steven Spielberg had quickly become my favorite film director, and the buzz on this one was huge. So, I was ready to fall in love… and man, did I fall hard. I wanted to be Eliot, and I would have gone up in pace with E.T.… just saying.
Eventually a few days later, I actually saw it with my parents, first film in almost a decade, and I watched it sitting between them.At the end, as I was crying… yet again… my father looked at me and said… “Its a puppet, sea; out of it!” Sorry, for me it wasn’t a puppet, for me E.T. was real. I went to see it 8 days in a row. Each time bringing new people.
Years later when i published a little magazine entitled, OffWorld, I was glad to finally get my little tribute into print in the magazine tribute section.
So painting this was something I had to do… I illustrated it for my portfolio, while still in college at The School of Visual Arts (SVA).
Hope you like it as much as I do… thanks for checking out my item.
