Who

These are brilliant! And really, not just this piece, but the artist has a whole collection of incredible, simplistic takes on popular movies as either Penguin Book cover art or character representation.

On top of all that, I love his Flickr name: "Under the Name". I don't quite know why, but it's awesome. I think it maybe reminds me of a Bingo hall caller? ("Under the Name, "Eric" - an "E").

Any how, Doctor Who is fantastic – both the new and old series; yes, including the 11th doctor even who has quite grown on me – so I just had to select this piece as the one to share here. Enjoy!

Sure, these movies might have come out 25-30 years ago, but it doesn't mean someone can't create beautiful art in honour of them. Illustrator Andy Helms has created a trilogy of posters for the original Star Wars trilogy of movies and I think they're just incredible, especially as a series of three posters. As if the artwork itself wasn't enough, he's selected the perfect title for each image:

• You're Our Only Hope (Star Wars: A New Hope)
• Never Tell Me The Odds (The Empire Strikes Back)
• Fully Armed and Operational (Return of the Jedi)

Each poster is/was available for purchase through the artist's Etsy store (click on the titles above for ordering information and a closer look at each poster).

I could save just about every image/post that ISO50 (aka Scott Hansen) posts to his blog. He has an amazing collection of stuff and, to give credit where due, is probably a strong inspiration for me starting this random collection of images, etc.

In this case, the 'art deco' style (is that even correct?) always really grabs me. I would love to produce images in this style. In this case, these travel posters are the work of The Heads of State.
