I have a real love for movie posters, mostly from growing up in the 80's with the stunning painted posters from the likes of
Drew Struzan,
Bob Peak,
John Alvin,
Renato Casaro and
Richard Amsel.
Posters of today generally look like generic rubbish that look like they're quickly put together from a Photoshop template (mostly, although
not exclusively, just
Rom-Coms it would seem). My appreciation now continues with the new breed of poster artists. Artists like
Adam Rabalais,
Jason Edmiston,
Justin Erickson,
Ken Taylor,
Olly Moss,
Tyler Stout and many more that I've previously been featuring in my
'The Art Of Pop Culture' posts as well as the lots of fan art that can be found on websites like
Deviant Art and
Flickr.
So, to show my appreciation of poster art, I'll be showcasing some of the official posters and art work, as well as some of the fan-made posters, from some iconic and, in most cases, my favourite movies; starting with Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film
'2001 - A Space Odyssey'.

Nice work in these posters, in whoever made them, but also to this collection. They live up to this epic masterpiece of all times. 2001 is and will be for me the best cinematographic achievement of all times. There is never going to be anything that will get near its epicness.
