This new 60’s-style Marky Mark movie poster’s so tactile you can almost feel the pain! (ImpAwards)
The Künstler Adventures!
A reader commented that it was American Civil War artist, Mort Künstler — not John (“King Kong“) Berkey — who created the key art for The Hindenburg. This, of course, led me to uncover the full arsenal of Künstler’s explosive, action-packed 1970s one-sheets.

And don’t forget the timeless Cocoon posters by the legendary illustrator, John Alvin.
Cool Cats!
The new Spanish-language Will Ferrell film, Casa Mi Padre, reminds me of this old Burt Reynolds classic hombre flick. (ImpAwards)

Heard of facial recognition software? French graphic designer, Sébastien Ocana, has an insightful blog called Endupliquant that detects various Photoshop manipulations on movie posters…
Happy Pre-Pre-New Year’s Eve!
