What got co-owner Stephanie excited as a kid? Alien! And while the movie franchise might not be the first choice for a little kid who was taught to play dolls and dress like every day was church, Alien had one thing that no other movie had for a girl growing up in the 80s. Ripley.

Yes, now we’re inspired by the craft and creative mind of H.R. Giger, but back then? Let’s just say there weren’t that many female role models kicking ass on the big screen for a girl like Steph to look up to.

So think of these Alien alternative movie poster illustrations as a nod to both the genius mind of Giger, and the spirit of Ripley.
