Yesterday I made a bet with a friend of mine, an amateur film critic who wanted to get more writing done this year. So he’s agreed to write 100 reviews/articles by the end of the year, if I do a 100 film-related illustrations. If one of us flakes out, we owe the other $500. Then again, if we both succeed, nobody owes anything. ;P

After a lot of thinking about how I could refine the project, I decided to do 100 movie poster illustrations. I know poster redesigns are all the rage now, but I don’t mean any redesign or the popular minimalistic interpretation - I mean really involved paintings and illustrations that capture the “essence” of a film, something you don’t normally see in commercial movie posters anymore. Hoping that this project will challenge me artistically this year, and if I succeed I’ll have a really nice collection to add to my portfolio. Plus, it’s fun.

I’ll be posting all completed work along with process shots here, as always. This is a WIP of the first film I chose to do, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It’s all painted from scratch so it still needs quite a bit of refinement, and the text and titles are of course, not at all finalized and are just there for placement. I’m still undecided as to whether to do text at all. Opinions?
 I would love to hear your thoughts and I’m totally willing to take suggestions for films. :)

SO GUISE at first I thought this was from How to Train Your Dragon 2 but it’s NOT, it’s just footage from a new DVD short called Gift of the Night Fury that went on sale two days ago. HTTYD2 is still in pre-production and won’t be out until at least 2014. (sob)

STILL THOUGH WATCH THIS CLIP because it will still give you ALL THE EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS and aslkfjalsfkf I miss the characters so much, I just had an absolute shit day being sick at home AND THIS- THIS JUST BROUGHT TEARS INTO MY EYES I love them so muchhhh

What’s with all these awesome trailers coming out recently! I got super inspired by the new Hunger Games trailer - I think Jennifer Lawrence was a great pick for Katniss! Here is a portrait of her, painted this in a couple of hours today.

Quick paintings inspired by that pretty trailer…! I AM SO PREDICTABLE.

This movie is either going to be SUPER COOL or M. Night Avatar the Last Airbender horrible. Let’s hope for the former!!

I draw stuff, mostly of people and things that I like, and ramble incoherently about them. I also post random things that inspire me. Or make me laugh. Or cry. Maybe all three at once.
