re-imagined Alien movie posters by Aaron Wells :: via etsy.com
Many thanks to Heyoscarwilde for showing this gallery of my posters!
In creating these, I really just wanted to focus on the token ETs from the series, and in a minimal manner while retaining my painterly style. The images were to rely on the contrast between the negative and positive space to create the main, simple shape of the aliens and their terrifying teeth.

I also added a poster to the series for the non-prequel Prometheus that released back in June:
This alternative movie poster is an homage to the trippy fantasy/sci-fi drama ‘The Fountain’ by Darren Aronofsky. The main image is an illustration of Hugh Jackman’s character in the final stage of the movie, moving through space towards an area known as Xebulba by the Mayans, encased in a biosphere. The orb is reminiscent of an atom, flying through the microcosmos, as a sort of metaphor for the Victorian idea of conception, as he flies into the dying cluster of stars and Nebulae in order to bring his wife back to life.
Another set of progress shots on upcoming movie posters. This time I’ll be moving back to Sci-Fi with the Fountain and the Fifth Element.
Some progress shots on the paintings for some movie posters for the movies Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Trying to start incorporating some underpainting in the final images, as shown in the un-rendered crown in the first and the red dress in the Golden Age. Also unsure about the background in the golden one. Might change it to a darker greyish color.
This alternative movie poster is an homage to the scifi masterpiece ‘Sunshine’ by Danny Boyle. The main image is an interpretation of the golden sun suit from the movie as an iconographic image akin to a heiroglyphic image of the Egyptian sun god Ra. This portrayal is metaphor for the reigniting of the sun by the main character, giving life by powering the sun.
Based of the marvelous sci-fi treat Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this alternative movie poster’s imagery plays off one of the main themes of the movie. The image is an interpretation of “The Creation of Man” by Michaelangelo, using Ceaser, the film’s main ape protagonist reaching towards the gloved hand of a scientist to ignite the spark of sentience.
Part of a new series of posters centered around the signs of the zodiac. This print is inspired by the 3rd astrological sign Gemini the Twins. Celebrate your zodiac sign with your own poster bearing all the important information on your sign, including the quality, element, date range, name, ruling planet, and good and bad qualities!

Star Trek Captains of the Delta Quadrant set, featuring Captain Sisko and Captain Janeway. This listing is for the two Captains posters as a set. Each poster is printed on 11” x 17” Epson Premium Matte Paper with a 1/4 inch border for framing purposes. The paintings used in the poster are original painted by me. The perfect accessory for the Trekkie home, or as a gift for that Trekkie in your life.
If you knew me, you would know that I adore and was inspired by Tim Burton for most of my artistic life. Here is a print of a portrait I painted as an homage to the man, in period garb of course, a la Sleepy Hollow and the like.The second print included is a companion piece created to go along with my Tim Burton painting, of his wife, actress Helena Bonham Carter. I think I love her almost as much as Tim Burton. She is dressed here in period garb, a la many of the Burton movies she has been in, as well as Harry Potter.
