I think these two recent posters for the Joaquin Phoenix documentary, I’m Still Here, and the Tilda Swinton-starrer, I Am Love, prove that the “disappearing” font is now officially a pop design trend…

The movie posters below were all done by sizzling-hot young Brit artist, Olly Moss.
Akikomatic Is Back!
A few months ago, I wrote about Akiko Stehrenberger, one of the most creative illustrators/art directors working in movie poster advertising today — and it appears that she’s keeping plenty busy with lots o’ cool new stuff!
Aniston Meets Streisand!
The Internets have been on fire with pics of Jennifer Aniston doing her best Barbra Streisand for Harper’s Bazaar. Although I never thought there was much of a resemblance between the two, it’s hard not to see the similarities in the types of films they’ve both chosen to do over the years — especially when it comes to the looks of their one-sheets!
Maira-culous!
I recently had a delightful day attending the Maira Kalman exhibit at The CJM to launch her new book, Various Illuminations of A Crazy World.
Kalman, whose colorful illustrations have brightened both The New York Times (via her amazing And The Pursuit of Happiness blog) and The New Yorker covers for years, has never done a movie poster before (I don’t think!). However, she has collaborated with Animal House pal, Rick Meyerowitz, on several projects, including the famed Newyorkistan cover below (left), which cleverly spoofed Saul Steinberg’s legendary 1976 “View of the World” (right).
Not that she needs the work — but here’s hoping that Wes Anderson or some quirky indie film snaps her up soon to do their next print campaign!
Beasts of Burden
Last week it was reported that Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese are teaming up for a TV pilot on the rock biz called History of Music. Although Jagger will mainly serve as exec producer, it will be interesting to see how this project stacks up against his past productions.
Monroe For Sale
If you’re into Hollywood history and have a few extra million smackers lying around, you can now buy the house in which Marilyn Monroe died! Okay, I know, it’s a bit morbid, but the landscaping and interiors do look very nice…(The French posters for Some Like It Hot, The Seven Year Itch, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and Marilyn were all done by the great Grinsson!)
