After years of struggling, I finally came up with a poster design for one of my top five favorite films, Reservoir Dogs. I give full credit to last month's Sundance Next Fest 25th anniversary screening I went to at the Los Angeles Ace Hotel with Quentin Tarantino, Tim Roth and Michael Madsen in attendance. Roth and Madsen signed my geeky special edition DVD and it was glorious seeing it on the big screen for the first time (and on 35mm!). Side note, the most surreal part of the entire experience was watching the film two seats away from Roth, one of my film heroes. It's a very peculiar experience watching a film and swooning over someone's performance only to tilt your head slightly and find them in your peripheral vision...
Dirk Bogarde Double Feature
A few alternative posters inspired by a recent marathon of films starring the brilliant and impossibly dashing Dirk Bogarde. Featured here are Joseph Losey's The Servant (1963) and Basil Dearden's Victim (1961). Thanks, Filmstruck!
It's Okay With Me
Alternative poster inspired by Robert Altman's 1973 Neo-Noir detective film, The Long Goodbye.
"I have two friends in the world. One is a cat. The other is a murderer."
The Trip to Spain
In honor of this month's opening of The Trip to Spain, here's a poster I created in continuation of my The Trip x Saul Bass series, this time a parody inspired by his poster for the 1968 John Frankenheimer film The Fixer.
The image was drawn entirely by hand in pencil, traced in pen and then scanned into Photoshop.
Mathieu Amalric Double Feature
A couple new-ish posters for Le Stade de Wimbledon (Wimbledon Stage) and Tournée (On Tour), both directed by Mathieu Amalric.
