Movie poster for the film Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator.
From Helen Stickler's eBay auction, ending 08/21/2010:
Very hard to find original movie theater lobby poster from the 2003 skateboarding documentary STOKED: The Rise and Fall of Gator. The poster is authentic and SIGNED by both designer of the artwork, Shepard Fairey (OBEY GIANT, Obama HOPE poster), and the director of the film Helen Stickler ... Size is standard movie poster size, 27" x 40" -- there were very few of these actual offset print movie posters signed by both Shep and Helen.
From Supply and Demand, pg. 323:
Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator was a film by Helen Stickler about Mark “Gator” Rogowski, the pro skateboarder who was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend’s friend. I created the art for the film, but I also helped inspire Helen to make the film. When she was making her documentary about me in 1995, I had a sticker that took the old Gator graphic, with the type changed to “Giant” and Andre’s face added to the psychedelic swirl in the background. Helen asked what the deal was with that, and I told her the story of Gator. She was fascinated by the story, enough so to research it and ultimately make this movie.
