Poster Per Diem: Edward Tuckwell’s Brief Encounter Movie Poster

I first mentioned Tuckwell’s Brief Encounter print in my last “Week in Review” post, and here we are, only a few days later, now able to purchase one for £40 (about $60). It’s a lovely poster that celebrates one of the all-time great forbidden romances in cinema history. Edward’s classy design brings David Lean’s 1945 classic to life in a way that few movie illustrations can. Additionally, can we all just quickly boggle at how awesome and amazing it is that a Brief Encounter screen print was even made and can now be bought? Well done, Dark City Gallery!

Heads Up: Mondo’s The Raid: Redemption Double-LP

This begs that age-old question: which came first, the poster or the vinyl? Thankfully the answer doesn’t matter in the slightest, because Jock’s The Raid: Redemption poster / album artwork is fantastic no matter the medium. Coming in both black and a randomly inserted smokey gray vinyl, Mondo’s release of The Raid score is sure to please fans of kickass industrial techno (that’s probably not what the genre is called, but it just felt right) and help kickstart those memories of Iko Uwais’ beautifully choreographed murder sprees.

Poster Per Diem: Peter Gutierrez’s Alien Movie Poster

It goes without saying that Alien is one of the best horror films ever made. It also goes without saying that Alien is one of the greatest science fiction movies ever put to celluloid. And now, it goes without saying that Peter Gutierrez’s Alien screen print is one of the sweetest looking prints around. The thing that most caught my attention about this artwork was how neatly Peter’s design adopts the film’s aesthetic. There’s a claustrophobic, under-lit quality to the piece that’s one part eye-catching, and two parts absolutely terrifying.

Poster Per Diem: Charles Moran’s The Deadly Spawn Movie Poster

I haven’t seen Deadly Spawn since I was a kid, but evidently the film has amassed a ton of fans throughout its lifetime. As far as low-budget 80s sci-fi horror movies go, few films have received more poster love than Douglas McKeown’s 1983 cult classic. So why did I choose Moran’s take on the alien invasion? More so than most, I thought Charles’ illustration really captured the DIY aesthetic that helped make Deadly Spawn so memorable.
