Retro Advertising Posters from Japan

These must have been successful at the time, but if your product morphs me into Harry Potter or turns my skin a putrid green colour I ain't buying. The Marlboro poster is actually modern, but thought it fitted with the others regardless.

Retro Asian Movie Art.

Found in the Seoul Animation Center... I'm at a loss for words.

Retro Animation Posters from the Seoul

Poster art. You've got to love it. Because if you don't you've got to love garden gnomes instead, and that's for losers. It's either one or the other. You decide... annnnnyway

These are from the Seoul Animation Center which is a funky little idea. It has an exhibition hall, editing rooms, sound design rooms etc, a comic library (containing mainly Korean and Japanese comics with a few X-men thrown in for good measure). I'm not sure that these posters were actually for public display, but I could always say that I couldn't read the warnings - which is technically true.

Basically I used my Navy Seal-esque skills to bring you these images. I had to smuggle my camera out... don't ask, but rest assured, you owe me.

You all know how much i dig the retro horror and sci-fi imagery of the film industry - so the reason I dig this should be obvious. You should dig it to. Go on, you know you want to....

They Only Come Out in Heels - Rantforfood

Here's another poster for RantForFood, check out the pitch - where surely, all hell will break loose!

rantforfood spoof movie pitches

Hey all, this is just a little rant for another little project of mine that I'm working on with a friend, it's a spoof movie ideas pitch blog, to be found here.

Users (that's you) submit their silliest ideas and we post 'em up. If your pitch is the raddest of rad myself, or my mate, will design a poster for it. Yay. If it's even radderer than that, we'll steal it and sell it as our own :)

This is a poster for one of my movie pitches involving Space Arabs, chrome dragons bad special effects.

So if you want a chance to have your stupidest idea in magnificent poster form, go check it out and submit something.

Caution, not really for children...

Toy Card Details

Some details.



















A little something for someone who took the time to comment. I don't think I can post you one of the real cards, but here's a digital one, just for you -it's super-exclusive.

The Card is Done!

Okay, I do believe that I have finished the first piece of Grizzly Tang paraphernalia. "The Dead-Guy is Coming!" cards. I expect to get these printed in a few days so that Flameo may take some to London.

So far it seems that the only places you'll be able to get these suckers (FREE no less! it can't help but be a bargain) will be London and Wellington. Not bad places to start world domination I guess. Better than Fiji for instance. he he

And yes, you may have noticed the pygmy 'no.' text in the top right corner. That's because my dumb-ass expects to spend some of my precious gaming time to write small numbers with big markers in tiny spacers. 'Why?' you ask, well I don't frickin' know.
























Why do I have the feeling that I will wake to find a crowd of Fijian pygmies banging on my door tonight... shivers...

Dead-Guy 'coming soon' WIP vol.2

Here's an update of the teaser image:

Dead-Guy 'coming soon' WIP

This is still a work in progress, I spent some time on it tonight after work. I've been looking at a lot of old comic-book covers and illustrations. It still needs to be roughed up a lot, and generally sewn together a bit more. I'm happy with where it's going though.

Giallo

Wikipedia has a great entry on Giallo here.

It sounds like something I need to research further. And in the tradition of posting images of posters:

Film Noir Posters

Here are some cool old posters of the Film Noir genre and related films. So hot right now...

Why you ask, well Dead-Guy needs to find his killer amongst the Zombie Mob and the surviving citizens, which of course requires a bit of detective work. Plus, when your tongue has rotted off internal monologues are quite a convenient way of telling a story.

Dectective film posters

Some great old posters I found on the interwebs today. They have a bit more class than modern movies poster in my opinion.

I'd quite like to mock-up an action movie poster at some point though... The characters silhouetted against an exploding car with a stealth helicopter swooping low overhead, in pursuit of another version of the hero (riding a motorbike of course), who is steering one-handed due to the uzi that he is firing back over his left shoulder at the pursuing chopper.

A film poster concept

I'm just working on a concept for a Dead-Guy poster, early stages yet. I've been looking at a lot of Film Noir and Mystery posters from the 30-50s.

Enjoy.
