Watchmen

Not massively happy with the colour scheme on this but I don’t think I really had a choice!

Excellent film, possibly the best intro to a film I’ve seen in a long long time!

Ubik

Far too long between updates (something I shall attempt to remedy in the coming weeks). On the plus side, i now have a backlog of pop-consumables to draw upon for the next installment.

To the piece at hand though, and this is a cover for Philip K. Dicks Ubik. I tried to emulate the vintage sci-fi look with a pre-distressed treatment to the whole thing, which worked rather successfully and I shall most likely be using again. In the art i tried to convey the fidgity and paranoid tension of the novel as well as a stronger more sci fi overtones. Overall, pretty happy with it.

More soon.

Defiance

I finished this a while ago but never actually posted it up on here for some reason.

Step Brothers

Something stupid and brainless to match the film.

There Will Be Blood

Two in as many days, starting to clear the backlog of movies i’ve watched (although i added two more to the pile this weekend: Babel and Nick & Norahs Infinite Playlist – expect posters sometime soon).  I nearly resorted to a bowling pin – which would only make sense if you have seen the film – but decided in the end for something more obvious, and matching the focused tone of the movie.

The Darjeeling Limited

I feel I ought to have posted something by now, so here is my first piece of new media consumed this year. Although technically it’s not that new because i bought it last fall but only got around to watching it on Jan 3rd this year. In my mind this would be the slipcase to a Criterion edition…

In Cold Blood

A book I read whilst waiting to be called for jury service – quite apt. We found our defendant not guilty.

The Wrestler

Seems I got mine done first!
