Amazing Reimaginings of Contemporary Films With Classic Casts

I am, as the casual speakers in the British part of the UK sometimes say, gobsmacked, at the wonderful execution of these posters by Peter Stults. Go visit them and appreciate the all-around cleverness and beautiful execution. You may just cerebrally shit yourself.

More hippies

I'm not a specialist in this matter, nor do I have the time to specialize now. Also they're not from a website or anything. I just found them while hacking my away around the wireless networks in my neigbourhood ;)

I was looking for Mexican lobby Cards and ran across an imageless blog that had a bunch of them for sale with this Picasa link (like flickr only not fascist)..... he had a bunch of medium quality shots of his vast collection, and I found it a reasonably interesting shopping experience, even if I didn't buy anything:

Visible Vixen

I have a confession to make....I really don't care so much about blogging per se, it's just a really easy way to keep track of things I like and might need to find again in the future. So when I came across this poster on Turksville I had to post it here....I had seen it years ago on artist Keith Weesner's site and lost it....so now I know where to look for it again.

The Aardvarks

There's this band from Belgium. I've never heard them play, but they do have their poster artwork together.

I came across this handsome selection of South American one sheets on Ebay and couldn't resist sharing! The posters in my Flickr set are somewhat crude interpretations of the original domestic materials but they also possess a bold simplicity. Enjoy!

What Sex Brings to the Girl

TEXT: Sex endows the girl with beauty of body, vivacity, and charm of manner. It is the sex or creative impulse which inspires her warmth of affection, her intensity of purpose, her desire to devote herself to the welfare of humanity.

The social hygiene movement of the early twentieth century combined moral indignation and public health methods in an attempt to combat prostitution and venereal disease. ...
..."Youth and Life" [edit: slideshow] was a 48-poster series, designed to educate teenage girls and young women about the dangers of sexual promiscuity and urged them to embrace moral and physical fitness. It was adapted in 1922 by the American Social Hygiene Association."

Tomi Ungerer

´
Anti-war poster, published 1967

"Tomi Ungerer’s work, along with that of a handful of others, might rightly be considered to not only embody the design style of the 60’s and 70’s, but to have played a central part in that style’s ascendence. Throughout those decades Mr. Ungerer’s work was everywhere, encompassing everything from politics and commercial concerns to erotic publications and children’s books. He was prolific, and in no realm more so than in that of the poster. .."

Jaime, The Nonist found the 1971 book "The Poster Art of Tomi Ungerer". He has scanned and uploaded a "small sampling" for our viewing pleasure. Nice.
