The film in question is indie comedy Frances Ha played by Greta Gerwig www.imdb.com, the poster design is part of a competition run by Movie Preview Network www.moviepreviewnetwork.com and Metrodome.

Autographed art & meeting Bruce Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell.

So a couple of years ago I met Bruce Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell. This was a huge deal for me as Bruce Lee has been my idol since forever! So, naturally I brought along a piece of Bruce Lee inspired work for her to admire and sign. The poster is part of a graduate installation piece. Click the title above for a video link . Linda Lee Cadwell and her daughter Shannon Lee sign my poster! Click on the image for a deviantART link. Me on the right, my brother Titus on the left and Linda Lee Cadwell.
