Maleficent poster artists credited! October updates

Movie poster art is iconic. But it's not anonymous. There are artists behind each of these images. Let's support them getting credit for their artWORK.

In the internet age, it's more important than ever for fans to appreciate the art images they "like" and "share" are the work of real people who share their passions for film and art.

Sept 13, 2019
The official Facebook page for the Disney Maleficent franchise shared teaser posters for the upcoming film..

First this..
Text from FB page:
"She’s back in black. Check out this IMAX exclusive Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Poster. "

Then this exclusive poster for REALD 3D screenings... But no credit for who created these striking images.



so I left this comment....

Amy Wagner can you please post the name of the artist for this poster!! it's so cool!

Now I'm not saying it was only my comment that started this -- but then this happened!

"Check out the first in a series of 10 exclusive posters inspired by Disney's Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Art by SG Posters. "(Credit !!!!)



and I commented..
Amy Wagner Thank you for the credit for the artist 👍❤️

And I wasn't the only fan noticing the credits and thanking the page.
I will say that if you want to see artists get credit -- then step up and advocate for them. Be the fan voice that says we want to see names for these images. If we "like" the art -- we owe the artists that support.
