Pick Me Up 2012

Little bit late with this post, but getting there in the end. Had to queue up for around 90 minutes to get into the blasted thing as I chose to go on the last late-night Thursday viewing before it finished. I don't remember it being as popular the year before?? Its popularity must be coming on in leaps and bounds. There were a few stand-out pieces for me this year, those are the ones I'll post now...

Really playful, love this style of illustration. And amazing dynamism and movement caught in the last few... Love it.

These loose prints are rather nice...

AND...A BOOBY ALPHABET
I love this! But forgot to take down who it was by! DRAT. If anyone can fill me in I'd be totes grateful!

The best a man can get...

Michael Gillette.

Love these Penguin Book Covers for the James Bond series. Lovely concept of the Bond girls as the base for the great type and imagery combination, and lovely overall style harkin' back to the 60s/70s style.

Gui Seiz.

These are some horror movie posters I happened to stumble upon by a lad called Gui Seiz. I like the muted malevolence of the posters. I'm really partial to the type, and particularly like its execution within the design - slightly psychotic. The macabre nature of these posters is what makes them so successful. But then again it's also their simplicity - one of those occasions where what you can't see is what fills you that little bit more with dread. Very nice indeed.
