Sir Alfred Hitchcock
"Good Evening"
Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, KBE (13 August 1899 – 29 April 1980)
While researching this portrait it occurred to me that no other filmmaker (including actors or actresses) has ever had the number of character driven publicity photos that Hitch has. And although I chose a more serious side of the master, I urge you to seek out his publicity photos to see what I mean.
Hitchcock was a huge influence on me when I was a wee monsterkid. He was probably the first filmmaker that I became aware of, and sought more info about, and he helped instill my (sadly unfulfilled) desire to be a filmmaker.
This portrait goes out to one of my favorite customers, Carrie Whipkey.
Also, if you are so inclined, be sure to checkout my early rendition of Norman Bates here.
As always, limited edition signed and numbered prints of this and all of my work are available through the store. Order yours today!

Excellent work Rob!!! This one seriously smokes! You keep getting better and better with each portrait. Glad to see you pumpin' all these out! Once my Mac is back up and running, I gotta get back to some more of this!!!
Good Eeeevening.
The look of smug intellectual superiority on Hitchcock's aging puss ranks amongst your very finest achievements.
