I ♥ Maciej Zbikowski — but who wouldn’t love this Polish movie poster designer after seeing so many of his graphic love letters from the 1960s and 1970s on EMoviePoster and other sites…

Scary Heritage Sale!
Movie posters are part of our heritage — and nobody displays that better than Heritage’s Dallas Vintage Movie Poster Auction this weekend March 23-24. No doubt there will be some fierce bidding wars over this year’s scary wares!
Meet The Sauvages…
Here’s some savagely beautiful sauvage (means “wild” in French) things from Boris Grinsson (top), Constantin Belinsky (The Wild One and bottom, middle), Roger Soubie (Hud, middle right), and Clement Hurel (bottom right)!
Jano vs. Nano
In boxing, they say styles make fights. Well, you could say the same thing about movie posters (although most movie poster fans are lovers not fighters.)
But if there were a brawl to break out among two International movie poster artists — Italian stallion, Silvano (“Nano”) Campeggi, and Spanish designer, Jano (Francisco Fernández Zarza), would be an excellent battle. (MoviePosterDB)
Zabriskie Point by Glaser?
I recently came across MUBI’s Movie Poster of the Day Tumblr blog –– and was delighted to discover Milton (“I ❤ NY”) Glaser‘s Polish style-inspired version of Zabriskie Point (top), accompanied of course by the more familiar USA versions below.
Norah Jones + Russ Meyer = New Album Cover?
Dave Rosen of Posteropolis brings up a NYT story of Russ Meyer’s least likely fan…jazz pop singer, Norah Jones — whose new album cover was inspired by RM’s lowdown and dirty, Mudhoney. (MOPO)
Posters of Valor
El Hombre?
I never need an excuse to boast the poster work of Boris Grinsson (seen below on bottom right), but ESPN’s story about slugger, Albert Pujols, recent signing with the Los Angeles Angeles gave me a perfect one…
Sophia Bardot!
Vanity Fair has taken time out from covering the Oscar flavors of the month in their Hollywood Issue to profile the 77-year-old bombshells, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren –– two strong-willed women who went onto live productive lives far from the bright lights of Hollywood.
If you want to check out the rest of these legendary ladies’ beautiful one-sheets, be sure to check out Eatbrie’s impressive collection (scroll down the left side). (EMoviePoster)
