Also, Reel Art Press is continuing their blitz into the movie poster book biz with the soon-to-be-released, Weddings and Movie Stars.
Although this tomé seems to be more focused on the art of celebrity than poster design, there’s no doubt it will be a handsome publication.
There is quite a bit of controversy about the pros and cons of linenbacking/poster restoration, as evident on such passionate movie poster forums as MoPO and APF — but check out this cool before and after job done on the classic 1950’s bad girl one sheet, Pickup, by Dario Casadei of Vintage Movie Art.
Even if you aren’t a fan of movie poster repair, Casadei’s informative website uncovers some illuminating tricks and pics of the process…
When one thinks of pretty movie posters, the mind naturally visualizes the more sensual countries of origin (e.g., French, Belgian, or Italian), but EMoviePoster is trying to change that bias with its sweet collection of Danish beauties in its “World of Movie Posters” auction, which ends today, and features the usual Great Danes such as Wenzel, Stilling, and Gaston…
To paraphrase a line from Stripes, “I like fast cars and fast women!”
Well, if you’re Paul Veysey, you might amend that to “fast movie posters”, as the author of Motor Movies – The Posters! has put together a turbo-charged collection of some of the hottest one sheets on wheels on his website, DrivePast, which also includes a nice vintage selection of pre-1950’s models…Vroom, vroom!
The World of Movie Posters auction closes today at the good ol’ EMP and I’ve got my eye on a few strange beauties…
The Meansheets Poster Shop has a few more posters for sale on Etsy…
Excuse me for a bit of shameless self-promoting, but last weekend, your very own Meansheets was named one of The Guardian‘s Internet Picks of the Week. So look out, Yahoo, vintage movie posters are trending now!
I’ve never been to Norwich, but if I ever do get there someday, my first stop will be Peter Cossey’s longtime Norwich Movie Shop. I mean, look at how cozy, quaint, and old school-cool this place looks. You can just smell the dusty treasure, can’t you?
And The New York Times agrees!
