Artists like Gary Pullin, Tracie Ching, Randy Ortiz, and Dave Perillo are just a few of the creators challenging the Hollywood market with fan-favorite designs that speak to the genre-savvy and classic movie lovers.
Matthew Chojnacki, a film/music historian in Cleveland Ohio, has a new book out from Schiffer Publishing that highlights the best of the best. Alternative Movie Posters II: More Film Art from the Underground , publishing late November, features alt poster designs for Rosemary’s Baby, 2001, and newer cult hits like Drive. The artworks are full of details hardcore movie geeks will appreciate. Check out a preview of the book in our gallery.
