Poster Per Diem: Chuck Sperry's "Lawrence of Arabia" Movie Poster

If you visit this site with any regularity, you already know I tend to write reviews for film and television inspired prints that are either currently on sale or are about to go on sale. And while I'll still be pouring the majority of my efforts into those sorts of posts, my daily "Poster Per Diem" feature will focus on awesome prints that have since sold out, never existed in the first place (AKA concept posters) or just bear mentioning. In other words: this is my chance to say, "I never got a chance, for whatever reason, to write about you on this here website, but I think you're really purty and I want to let the world know." Or something like that. Oh, and Per diem is latin for "per day" or "each day."

Long time no see, folks! Seriously, apologies for the lack of posts recently. I promise I'll make it up to you with contests aplenty in the near future. This year's resolution is to make Posterocalypse more than just a hobby. What does that mean? I'm still not sure, but I'm stoked nonetheless. Now to the good stuff.

I missed out when artist Chuck Sperry's incredible Lawrence of Arabia poster went on sale through Spoke Art (spoiler alert: it's long been sold out), however it would be considered a crime to not mention this stellar print. For more info on the artist, head over to chucksperry.net and follow @yosquirt. And while you're at it, be sure to check out Spoke Art's website, store, and Twitter. Oh yeah, and a very belated happy new year to everyone out there!

P.S. I'm in the process of finalizing my "Best Posters of 2012" list. It's going to be good.

Heads Up: Spoke Art's "Vertigo" Movie Posters

I'm not sure how long it'll be before these sell out, so I'll make this quick. Spoke Art has released not one, but two Vertigo prints in cooperation with the historic Castro Theatre. And who do you get to tackle such an iconic Bay Area film? Well, San Francisco-based artist Chuck Sperry might be a good start! After all, who better to capture that City by the Bay vibe than someone who's lived and worked in the area for so long? But who else, who else? Oh, yeah! How about Polish poster-obsessed Sam Smith, whose ability to abstractly depict the psychological battlefield that is Vertigo may only be bested by the likes of Andrzej Krajewski and Franciszek Starowieyski?! In all seriousness, these are two great looking screen prints and are sure to please the Hitchcock fan in your life.

Both posters are currently available through Spoke Art's online storefront for $40 (Smith's take) and $50 (Sperry's take). If you feel the need to own both of them, and really, why wouldn't you, you can buy a matching set for only $80 and save some money along the way.
