34th Telluride Film Festival Poster (2007) In 2007, Stock was selected to produce a painting for the poster image of the 34th Annual Telluride Film Festival. It was an honor to join the ranks of distinguished artists such as Jim Dine, Julian Schnabel and Gary Larsen who had contributed previous years' Telluride poster images. The image melds Stock's love for film with his recurring theme of obsession. |
