Keep Calm and Cary Grant
If you’re a graphic design/poster aficionado, then you no doubt have seen those vintage British-anthemed ‘Keep Calm and Carry On‘ posters here and abroad. But have you seen the Hitchcock-inspired Cary Grant spoofs from North By Northwest ? (Etsy)
Meansheets Poster Sale!
It’s that time of year again — the Meansheets Poster Shop is now open for business on Etsy!
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!
You Say Havelock, I Say Hanelock…
A few months ago, I came across the funky old-timey vintage posters of Elaine Havelock on EMoviePoster — and was transfixed by the bright, blasts of color.
And then recently, I found a few of her works for sale on Etsy from PinkPoppyVintage, but noticed that the vendor listed the artist as Elaine HANELOCK, not Havelock. A closer look at the signature does boggle the viewer…Is that a cursive N or a sloppy V? But since other movie poster galleries had also previously listed the artist as Havelock, I contacted PinkPoppyVintage to politely inform her of the minor error — but PPV quickly wrote me back that I was the one who was, in fact, incorrect as Elaine HANELOCK was a graphic pop artist in the 60’s who created mod mashups of Hollywood’s Golden Age movie stars with a psychedelic motif.
So there you have it…Whether it’s a Hanelock or a Havelock, it’s beautiful!
