Three Quarter VW Combi Van

Spotted in Tijuana by resident Ozzie in NYC, Guy Lamont.

Warriors come out to play

Inspired by previous genius posts, I'd thought I'd have a go.

I've been reading that there's a remake in the offing, but it will never beat the original.

Inglorious Basterds

An ace film poster from the Tarantino war effort.

Venitian Graf

Took this during a recent trip to Venice. A place where it would seem every side street, alleyway and building looks aesthetically pleasing.

Duel - Don't run out of gas!!

Fancied knocking up another poster, a classic film. This clean graphic though possibly suitable for a modern remake. Its about time they did it!

Sunset on Blackheath

Beautiful timelapse video of Blackheath at sunset. Filmed by a guy called David Boyle using an iPhone application called iTimelapse.

Predator Movie Poster

Very quick poster test for Predator here. Done in about 10 minutes whilst sitting in EAT drinking coffee and waiting for my bus to work.

When I was about 13 or 14 I used to have a Predator T-Shirt with this image on it and always liked the infra red fx in the movie, so thought it would work well as a poster too.

Not perfect by any means but quite a fun exercise to partake in on an otherwise slightly mundane Wednesday morning en route to the daily grind.

Break Reform • Lady Sings

  Break Reform - Lady sings by DJ DemonAngel

Bullitt in your head!

One of my all time favourite films. San Francisco in the 60s, plus one of the greatest screen icons of all time.

Theres been loads of posters produced for this film, lots in Japan (they love McQueen), but they are all very busy. Thought I'd do a very simple version. McQueen along with Dean were the first to pull some serious Blue Steel in their films, McQueen seen 'mid steel' here.

The Shining Movie Poster

Another night, another movie poster design. I'm what the French would call 'sur un pain'.

This time taking on that Kubrick classic The Shining. Wanted to steer clear of big axes (there's a small one in the title though) and tackle it very graphically, so while surfing for images remembered how iconic* and crazy looking that carpet of the Outlook Hotel was.

* Iconic enough to also appears in the hallway of Andy's house in the original Toy Story.

Anyway, a quick redraw and some carefully placed font work later and you have my before-you reversioned attempt. Reckon it would work pretty well as a screen print.

Did have a few other ideas which I may create at a later date (including a sort of tech style car ad type thing featuring the toy tricycle). For now though, this will have to do.

Time for a shot of red rum in celebration of my recent creative form I think...

Hamburger Hill Movie Poster

Got home this evening and felt inspired enough to start mucking around on my laptop.

30 minutes later here's the result. A re-imagining of Nam classic Hamburger Hill. And yes, that is a hamburger at the bottom representing a hill. Sometimes it's best [easy] to be simplistic when all that's on telly is Eastenders. Quite pleased with the burger style U.S flag in the top though. Another artist would probably say it represents American popular culture, deeply entrenched with a desire to conquer. But not me. It's just a flag.

Good source for most of the imagery is either Google images or Flickr (highly recommended as you can often find good high res stuff on there).

My only regret is that I couldn't include an image of Don Cheadle, but then of course war is hell.

Film poster art is a real passion of mine and I may start a little series of these. Dinium/C-Poe - if you're reading this and feel equally inspired, feel free to create and post your favourite redux.

Thames Times Thames

Took today off work and cycled the Thames path from Greenwich to Richmond. Perfect weather for it and the section from Barnes bridge to Richmond is all dirt trail. Result. Anyway, 25 miles after setting off I arrived at the White Cross pub, ordered a pint of cider and watched the world go by very slowly; and all thanks to my new 19" Orange Crush steed.

Zed Tyred

New wheels fitted to my Zed this weekend and an opportunity to take some pics.
