Europe is better...at everything...

Why is it that Europe gets all the great looking Into Darkness graphics?

Berlin, Germany:



Just awesome. Can't wait!

The Needs of the Many...

Really impressed with the new set of "character" posters for Star Trek Into Darkness. It looks like the Enterprise will be getting a refit in Star Trek 3...



My two favorite images - Kirk and Harrison - but I can only find them in Spanish(?)...







The needs of the few?

The Minimalist Approach...HBO's The Pacific

"The Japanese are in the process of taking half of the world. And they mean to keep it. With death from the air, land and sea. But here is what the Japs are not expecting: The United States Marine Corps. Now never mind Europe, the Nazis, Mussolini, Hitler is not gonna be your job. Not until they can't whip him without us. The Pacific will be our theater of war. The Marines will do battle with the Japs. On tiny specks of turf that we have never heard of. You noncommissioned officers, you are the sinew and muscle of the Corps. The orders come from the brass and you get it done. And whenever this war is over, when we have swept upon the main islands of Japan, and destroyed every scrap of that empire, the strategy will have been that of others, the victory will have been won by you. You,the NCOs, with the chevrons on your sleeves and the instincts in your guts, and the blood on your boots.

Those of you who are lucky enough to get home for Christmas,hold your loved ones dearly and join them in prayers for peace on earth and goodwill toward all men. And then report back here, ready to sail across God's vast ocean, where we will meet our enemy and kill them all.

Merry Christmas,Happy 1942."

The Minimalist Approach...Leave This Book Alone...

EVIL DEAD - 2013.

I saw the new Evil Dead remake last night and it was glorious. I'm on a serious ED poster kick right now, so why stop any time soon? Had to throw this up here. Hope to get more done from this awesome film soon. I kept this version simple so as not to spoil anything just yet. For now, enjoy.

EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN

Since tomorrow night is the debut of the new EVIL DEAD reboot/remake/etc - I had to get something up here this week in honor of the Deadites. So I made two...

The first is my favorite and came together pretty quickly...especially since I just riffed the original movie poster pretty much. I gave it a very symmetrical and clean look with the original movie title font.



The second has a red background and white empty eyes for the skull, much like the deadites themselves. This one also has its merits.

1/72 Ki67...start your engines...

Small bit of work on the engines...gluing on the main engines and the cowlings. Honestly, I'm getting antsy waiting on the new nose and I may just tape that part up and go to town on the rest of the aircraft with the airbrush. I can always glue the nose on at the end. Stay tuned...
