Are these posters of real actors or films?

No. The films are invented, and the painted figures are not real actors.

What are the three styles?

Hand-painted uses bold brushwork in crimson, saffron, turquoise and gold, lithograph uses vermilion, yellow, teal and cream with slight misregistration, and cutout collage uses magenta, emerald, gold and ivory with floral frames.

Can I ask for a different story?

Yes, as a request, such as a village fair. The nine posters show the three invented films above.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
