Curio: Black Sheep White Sheep Designs
Tuesday, March 24, 2015 at 10:20AM Alexa here with your weekly art appreciation. I am a real lover of collage as an art form. Anyone who picks up this tome on my coffee table is likely to hear an earful from me as to why I think it is the perfect medium for our age. So I'm always seeking out artists that do it well for inspiration. I recently stumbled upon the etsy shop Black Sheep White Sheep and bookmarked it immediately. Designer Maria Simeonova has created some particularly lovely film posters using collage and illustration that would look gorgeous in any room; she's also done wonderful portrait illustrations of her favorite directors. Best of all, her prints are affordable, at around $30-$50 each.
You can see all her prints here. After the jump, more of my favorites...
Curio, movie posters

I love these.
Much more film posters today should be done like this instead of photoshop overusing.
Though it's not like main stream moviegoers care about "art" in a movie poster at all. *sigh*
These are really good, interesting use of colour and tone. I particularly like the ones for " The Birds" and "8 1/2". A good movie poster doesn't just sell the film, it is a summary of why you like a film. I thought "Selma" this year was a good example of that.
Wow! These are wonderful. Fresh and modern, but artful, charming and tonally on-point for each film. I'm a huge fan of collage and you rarely see it used well in movie posters.
