Dork Art: Gallery 1988's 85th Academy Awards Posters

Not letting the BAFTAs have all the fun with their pamphlet art, Gallery 1988 just announced an exhibit showcasing this year's 85th Academy Awards nominations.  The artists so far are as follows:

"AMOUR by artist Matt Owen, ARGO by Anthony Petrie, BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD by Rich Kelly, DJANGO UNCHAINED by Mark Englert, LES MISÉRABLES by Phantom City Creative, LINCOLN by Jeff Boyes, LIFE OF PIby Tom Whalen, SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK by Joshua Budich and ZERO DARK THIRTY by Godmachine."

But there is promise of more to come.  Very cool, I say.  Every year I enjoy the Oscars more and more despite my dwindling respect for the nomination process.  It's a joke, we all know it.  But it's a special time of year when the rest of the world seems just as enamored with cinema as I am on a daily basis.

Dork Art: The 2013 BAFTA Brochures

These latest batch of brochures for the 2013 BAFTAs are even better than last year's work.  The artist is Jonathan Burton and you can purchase them as prints if you're willing to part with your hard earned American dollars.  I even like the images done for my two least favorite of the nominated films, Life of Pi & Les Miserables.  I know these Award Shows are complete nonsense, but I still can't help getting swept up in the movie making enthusiasm.  Really looking forward to the absurdity of The Oscars on February 24th.

Dork Art: The BAFTA Brochures

Am I seriously still posting new Drive art?!?!?  Why, yes I am!  The BAFTAs are this Sunday and they've hired Eda Akaltun & StudioSmall to design their brochure covers based on their Best Picture nominees.  The Drive one is obviously my favorite, but that Artist image is also quite cool.  Thanks to Slash Film for the heads up.
