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!

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!

Gimetzco's "Bargain Bin: Collected" Art Print

As you may know, Posterocalypse is fueled by my unhealthy passion for film and a bordering-on-obsessive love of art, but what may not be so well known, is that I’m also a huge comics nerd. When these three things come together to form some sort of super-powered Kryptonite-fearing holy trinity, I’ve got to tell the world about it.

Priced depending on size

How would you describe "Bargain Bin: Collected"? Well..

“Imagine a world in which these specific films were never films at all, rather, they were comics, perhaps later to be made into the films we love...”

That’s how Gimetzco describes his print and I couldn’t have put it better myself, although I’m fairly certain that has something to do with the fact that I’m not the artist (or very concise in anything I write). I think what I appreciate most about Gimetzco’s “Bargain Bin: Collected," besides the obvious skill on display and the eerie sense of nostalgia he manages to capture so perfectly, is that he didn’t just translate the films directly to the comic format verbatim. Instead, he created a Fringe-worthy alternate universe where these films never existed and where everything, including the works of Kubrick, Tarantino, and the Coen Brothers, is just slightly off. I wonder if Bizarro Quentin Tarantino would be super relaxed and comfortable in his own skin during interviews? I’ll admit that it took me a few seconds to figure out a few of the references, but I think anyone who’s a fan of the moving pictures will really get a kick of what Gimetzco has put together.

In my opinion, the image of “Bargain Bin: Collected” at Society6 didn't do the print justice, so I thought I’d post the individual covers that make up this ode to cinema by way of the funny pages.
