What are some of your favorite movies?
Do they include Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars: Episode IV--A New Hope, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, The Dark Knight, Stand by Me and... Beat Street? We asked 20 of our favorite artists to create a poster for their favorite movie and the results deliver this incredibly colorful and immersive love letter to movies old and new. Some of the movies include the ones mentioned above, plus The Shining, Jurassic Park, The Princess Bride and more. You want Pixar, we got Pixar. You want women who kick ass, we've got an entire poster full of 'em.
We'll show you all 20 posters later this week, but in the meantime here's a taste...
"Men in Black" by David Gonzalez
Wanna see these posters in person? All 20 posters will be in display at a pop-up gallery in conjunction with the Santa Monica Twilight Concert Series in Santa Monica, California.
