Evil Dead Again…
What’s new is still dead. (IMP)
Mondo Fever
You know your movie poster business is doing well when it’s featured in The Wall Street Journal — as The Alamo Drafthouse / Mondo Gallery mafia continues its hot streak.
Black Widow Lake?
No doubt the new limited-edition Black Widow posters by indie UK artist, Olly Moss, (courtesy of Alamo Drafthouse) are all sold out by now…but perhaps Veronica Lake is still available?
Munn Meets MoMA
Indie rock/film poster artist, Jason Munn (Alamo Drafthouse, etc.) just went legit as SFMoMA recruited him be part of the museum’s Artist Series.
With that designation under his belt, he designed an eye-popping quartet of Saul Bass-ish graphics that are now on sale at Munn’s website or the SFMoMA museum store!
Do It David O’Daniel Style!
Much like his predecessors — and contemporaries — Peter Strausfeld, Olly Moss, and Jason Munn who all supplied their original movie poster visions to the UK’s Academy Cinema and Alamo Drafthouse, respectively — now comes along David O’Daniel and his wonderful limited edition silkscreens for The Castro Theatre in San Francisco.
Apocalypse New
Taking a page from the Alamo Drafthouse, you might want to check out TommyGood to see some new school artists like Tim Doyle drawing up cool old school movie posters like this…(via Darrell Street)
Mondo + Movie Posters = $$$$
Movie poster trends come and go, but there is no doubt that the hottest new kid on the block is Mondo, the mates behind the Alamo Drafthouse, who have rejuvenated the morbid market with their revamped one-sheets designs for The Rolling Roadshow Tour from such graphic design prodigys as Olly Moss and Jason Munn.
So if you want to learn more about this newfangled limited-edition movie poster empire, check out Ben Marks’s interview with Mondo creative director, Justin Ishmael, on Collectors Weekly.
Remember The Alamo…No texting, please!
Last Friday, Alamo Drafthouse touted the return of The Rolling Roadshow Tour…well, during one of those screenings, they also discovered a new way of dealing with rude, too-texty customers!
Let The Good Times Rolling Roadshow!
The Rolling Roadshow Tour — brought to you by the movie-loving mavens at Alamo Drafthouse — starts tonight, and the schedule features a big platter of Texas-themed classics. And the posters by indie rock fave, Jason Munn, look pretty sweet, too. (If you recall, British artist, Olly Moss, did the sheets for last year’s show).
Etsy Meets Alamo Drafthouse?
Last week when I put up the Meansheets Poster Shop on Etsy, I discovered a cool UK graphic designer named Claudia Varosio who does some fantastic reimagined movie posters á la Tyler Stout and Olly Moss.
And most are only $19, which makes them a steal compared to the rising prices at the Alamo Drafthouse!
Alamo Drafthouse Drops The Bomb!
That’s right, Alamo recently commissioned Jason Munn of The Small Stakes to do a limited edition poster for Dr. Strangelove…and you can get it here for forty smackers!
And if you’re into indie alt-rock posters, you might as well pick up his super cool Chronicle Books classic, Music Posters, too!
The Rolling Road Show Comes To Town
Starting tonight, The Rolling Road Show by Levi’s and Alamo Drafthouse celebrates the “We Are All Workers” Tour by rolling out a bunch of free movie screenings all over the country featuring such films as Dirty Harry, On The Waterfront, Jackie Brown, Rocky, There Will Be Blood, The Blues Brothers, Convoy/Red Dawn, The Godfather Part 2, and Robocop…So check your local listings!
The movie posters below were all done by sizzling-hot young Brit artist, Olly Moss.
Tug O’ Warriors!
Stout It Out
Like Peter Strausfeld, a young American artist/designer of our time named Tyler Stout has been touted by SlashFilm for his limited edition posters for the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin, TX.
This is an interesting trend in our bland, everything-looks-the-same, poster-by-committee cineplex world we live in now. What if every movie theatre had their very own poster designer?
