Now that summer’s in full swing, it’s time to hit the beach. But if you’re too busy to catch some waves, then why not take a dip into Matt Warshaw’s totally tubular 2005 movie poster book, Surf Movie Tonite!

Today’s Specials
If you would like to add some old travel posters, pin-ups or even, yes, war propaganda to your collection, then EMoviePoster.com has some very special posters for you that ends today.
Long Live The Weatherking!
Anybody who’s ever tried to buy an original vintage movie poster on eBay can tell you it’s like finding a needle in a haystack because they’re either insanely overpriced or impossible to find unless you’re searching for a specific title, not to mention risky because of a variety of factors — inaccurate descriptions, condition, fakes, reproductions, etc.
But I’ve found an excellent reputable dealer of French movie posters who calls himself Weatherking and I’ll probably regret broadcasting this because that means his affordable prices will most certainly go up — but the WK’s having another one of his monthly eBay auctions from June 15 to June 22, so don’t miss out!
Cup of the World!
Super Salk!
Although not as well-known or, quite frankly, important as Jonas Salk, his polio-fighting namesake, Larry Salk (1936-2004) (no relation) made his own profound impact on the world of key art. He got his start in fashion illustration and then quickly evolved into the world of movie poster work, where he designed over 165 one sheets for various film studios and distributors.
But, ironically, what Salk is probably going to be most remembered for is his infamous oil portrait of Kramer from an episode of the 90’s hit TV show, Seinfeld.
