The Art of Pop Culture: Aaron Horkey

Although some might consider poster artwork a dying art, and considering some of the artwork for recent movie posters like X-Men: First Class and (even although I loved the film) John Carter, they may have point.

I really love some of the posters by the people at Mondo. Some of the posters they produce for the films at the Alamo Drafthouse in San Francisco are superb and definitely standout from the official studio posters. When the limited edition prints are put up on sale at their website, they unsurprisingly sell out within minutes!

Thanks to Mondo, I've discovered some really good art by some really good artists. And I'll be showcasing some of my favourite pop culture artists on this blog, starting with Aaron Horkey.

Aaron Horkey produces hand-drawn art with superb detail. He doesn’t have a website right now, but a quick online search reveals some super stylish illustration, mostly gig and movie posters. Enjoy some of them below and after the jump (click to embiggen).
