Joshua Budich's "Brutally Cool" Art Print

UPDATE (4/17): I completely missed the Four Rooms reference (Ted the bellhop to the left of Vincent Vega). Thanks go to Andrew Sigmund for the catch and Joshua Budich for the killer poster! The post has been updated accordingly.

It wasn't too long ago that I was praising Budich's The City of Lost Children poster, but damn if the man doesn't continue to create some of the prettiest film-inspired artwork around! If you couldn't already tell, today's entry is in honor of Joshua's Tarantino-centric "Brutally Cool" art print. Which by the way, is on sale RIGHT NOW! Check it out!

"Brutally Cool" Art Print
Joshua Budich
12" x 18" - Signed and Numbered
$25 - Limited to 150
Inspired By: Inglourious Basterds, Kill Bill, Death Proof,
Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs, Four Rooms

Joshua Budich's "Brutally Cool" poster has me convinced that he needs to do an Inglourious Basterds print (and on the double). I mean, checkout that Aldo stubble and swastika-carving blade - it's a thing of beauty! Budich's ode to Tarantino captures the titular "Cool" with his usual style and aplomb, but more importantly exudes complete badassery - something Tarantino's films do often and without hesitation. Then again, if you're placing Jules Winnfield (played by Samuel L. Jackson) at the forefront of your design, you're guaranteed at least an 11 out of 10 on the Bad Mofo scale (not to be confused with a Chromatic scale). And while "Brutally Cool" may not be the most colorful work in Joshua's arsenal, the use of color is wholly appropriate and really pops in all the right (and bloody) ways.

Joshua Budich's "Brutally Cool" poster is currently available through Budich's store for $25 plus shipping. The print measures 12" x 18", is signed and numbered, and is limited to an edition of 150. To learn more about Mr. Budich, be sure to checkout his interview with Nerdlocker, which will be appearing at nerdlocker.com and head over to joshuabudich.com. Alright, all this writing has really worked up an appetite. I think I'm going to grab a Royale with cheese. Good luck all!

Joshua Budich's "Reservoir Dogs" Movie Poster

Joshua Budich, continuing his Quentin Tarantino-themed movie poster quest, has hit yet another one out of the park. His latest entry being the film that introduced QT to the world, Reservoir Dogs.

Reservoir Dogs Movie Poster
Joshua Budich
24" x 36"
$60 - Limited to 150

If you already have his Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction posters (congratulations by the way) you really have no excuse for not getting this. I'd go as far as to say it's your responsibility as an art collector and fan of modern film to own this print. Upon first laying my eyes on Budich's artwork I noticed, and was immediately impressed by, the level of detail and shading on each and every face, which give all of the characters a certain amount of depth and realism. With that said, my favorite elements of the print are the gory "Reservoir Dogs" title work, with its gonzo-esque blood spatter, and the iconic scene (complete with severed ear in the lower-right corner) that plays out between Mr. Blonde and police office Marvin Nash near the bottom of the canvas. Just looking at this poster makes me want to listen to Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You." Is that wrong?

Joshua Budich's Reservoir Dogs poster will be available today (8/10) through the Spoke Art store at 5 PM PDT. These are sure to go fast, so keep your eyes on the clock and your finger on the F5 key. The Reservoir Dogs poster measures 24" x 36", is limited to an edition of 150 and will cost $60. This one is going to look beautiful up close. For more info on the very talented Joshua Budich head over to joshuabudich.com.

Rhys Cooper's "From Dusk Till Dawn" Movie Posters

Tommy Good is at it again with another fun poster release, this time for the cult classic From Dusk Till Dawn. With only a quick glimpse of the artwork below you can immediately tell that Rhys was the right man for the job with his trademark splatter aesthetic in full effect.

From Dusk Till Dawn - Regular Edition

From Dusk Till Dawn - Bloodbath Variant Edition

I haven't seen this film in ages, but it's always interesting to go back to From Dusk because we get to see George Clooney in a ridiculous action romp before his name became synomynous with meaningful, thought provoking and important films, oh yeah, and we also got to witness Tarantino chewing up the scenery for a bit too. While this film is probably the least important in Tommy Good's growing film poster collection, at least in terms of From Dusk's place in film history (bet I made a few enemies just now), it's certainly one of their most playful. You've especially got to appreciate the pure ballsy-ness of the over-the-top bloodbath variant - I'm not sure I could think of a better poster for this film.

Rhys Cooper's From Dusk Till Dawn poster will be available through Tommy Good tomorrow (5/25) at a random time. Be sure to follow @ThisIsTommyGood for the exact release info.  Both posters measure 18" x 24" and are six-color screen prints. The regular edition is limited to 200, while the bloodbath variant is limited to 50. For additional Rhys Cooper artwork head over to his Studio Seppuku store. I have a feeling these will sell out quick so act fast and good luck!

Joshua Budich's "KILL BILL" Art Print

Joshua Budich is an artist I've been watching for the better part of two years now and with every print he releases he seems to be one-upping himself. His "KILL BILL" print is no exception, and as far as I'm concerned is his best looking poster yet. If you weren't able to get your hands on Tyler Stout's jaw dropping Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair poster then here's your second chance to grab a gorgeous piece of Kill Bill inspired artwork.

KILL BILL

The first thing that struck me when I saw this print was just how detailed all of the faces are. Joshua Budich took the beautiful (Uma Thurman) and the wizened (David Carradine) visages of the film's cast and brought them all to life by making every nook, cranny and wrinkle perceptible. In many ways Budich's character profiles reminds me of the incredibly realistic line work that Martin Ansin, one of my favorite poster artists, is so well known for - and in my opinion, that's one of the highest compliments I can give. Budich's layout is also deserving of praise, because it manages to balance the abundant (characters standing in front of, behind, beside, and diagonal to other characters) with the minimalist (a pair of shoes against a white background, a simple title in a conservative font - pretty much the opposite of Stout's poster) while also maintaining a consistent tone. It's a beautiful poster and I'm really hoping we'll get to see a lot more movie related prints from Joshua in the near future.

Of the 75 prints initially available, 35 were sold (and consequently sold out) through Spoke Art's "Quentin vs. Coen" art show, and the remaining 40 (plus a few APs) are being sold tomorrow (4/12) at a random time through Budich's online store. Joshua's "KILL BILL" six-color screen print measures 24" x 36", and is limited to an edition of 75. It probably wouldn't hurt to sign up for his mailing list in the meantime and I'd be sure to keep at least one window to his storefront open and a finger on the F5 key for good measure. If Kill Bill isn't your thing, fear not, he's still got some mini prints of his "Save Ferris" poster available too!

Tyler Stout's "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" Posters

I wouldn't be doing my poster nerd duties if I didn't tell you about Tyler Stout's insane Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair posters, now would I? In honor of the recently premiered (in the US at least) and restored Quentin Tarantino revenge epic, Tyler Stout, a giant in the poster world, has created yet another one of his exquisitely detailed masterpieces. This one is sure to sell out within seconds.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair - Regular Edition

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair - Variant Edition (in Japanese on "Rice Paper")

The yellow, gold and red inks work perfectly here, because not only does it immediately convey the film's retro Asian aesthetic, but they make the image explode visually, like your eyes are seeing different levels of heat (yellow, red and white). I've also got to give it up to Mondo for creating a variant that is unique and actually serves a purpose, instead of just changing the inks. I'd be very interested to feel the difference between their usual poster stock and the "rice paper" poster stock of the variant. Did I mention how awesome it is that they changed all of the English to Japanese? I think I can honestly say this is one of their finest variants ever.

These amazing, insane, gorgeous posters will go on sale at a random time tomorrow (4/5) through Mondo's site. As usual, if you want to receive a heads up on the drop, be sure to follow @MondoNews for all the release info. The 24" x 36" Tyler Stout Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair poster comes in two editions, a regular and a variant. The regular Kill Bill poster is out of an edition of 600 and costs $50, while the variant is limited to an edition of 225 and costs $100. If you miss out on tomorrow's Mondo release, I highly recommend heading over to Tyler's site, where you can sign up for his mailing list and be informed about any potential sales through his store down the road. Let's be honest, even if you DO get a poster tomorrow, you should probably still visit his page just to gawk at the incredible artwork. 'Nuff said. Good luck and good night!
