Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. A special Weeklies poster hand-painted by long-time Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) visual effects artist Dave Carson. Due to its large number of employees, ILM held "Weeklies"-weekly screenings of footage from the company's current productions-rather than the more cost- and time-prohibitive dailies. Carson made this particular poster inviting the whole company to a special deluxe Weeklies screening held by ILM to make up for several missed sessions during the production of Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. It was posted on ILM's internal bulletin board for several weeks. It is rendered in mixed media, including ink and marker, on poster board in homage to the signature Star Wars opening title rolls. The poster remains in good overall condition with creasing at the top from being rolled for storage. Dimensions: 26" x 31" (66 cm x 78.75 cm) Sold without copyright; see notice in Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000
