In addition to the DVD, YouWorkForThem also sent over what appeared to be a newspaper but turned out to be a stack of beautiful newsprint posters. A total of 8 double-sided prints. Please, excuse these photos I was in a bit of a hurry and shot them off the wall in my kitchen. Thanks you guys!
I finally figured out why the Flight of the Conchords album artwork is so awesome. It is because Tyler Stout illustrated it – AKA the guy who made that insane poster for John Carpenter’s The Thing – AKA the greatest movie poster in the history of mankind.
How about a collection of 1950’s film posters re-illustrated by Yann Lebec. No? Too bad! I’m forcing them on you. These are so AWESOME. I have to admit that I do have a little bit of an obsession with film posters.
The net has been absolutely flooded with Obama related art (thanks to sites like designforobama) and somehow I managed to completely miss this fantastic print by David Choe. This is the best HOPE image I’ve seen, I guess that’s why UpperPlayground has already sold out of them. I actually met David Choe last year in San Diego while he was painting a mural and it was just amazing to chat for a bit and watch him work.
When I was working at EA awhile back, he was commissioned to do artwork for Need For Speed Underground and we had a laugh about that – at the time it just seemed ridiculous to me, to walk down the halls of EA and see huge David Choe prints – the same guy who used his urine to make drawings in prison. I guess with the future-president (hopefully) of United States really endorsing Shepard Fairey who knows what the future of street art is. Will there be get-out-of-jail-free cards for street artists making public statements for change if Obama is elected?
Waking up Monday morning sucks… or so I hear. I’m actually camping right now and this post has actually published itself! Thank you Wordpress, for inventing the scheduled post feature! So I’m going to continue sleeping soundly in my tent while you take a gander at some really great graphic design work by Shaz Madani.
