Rolling Roadshow Posters

I was just checking out the Apple Trailers site & was immediately drawn to these amazingly awesome posters by Olly Moss. Slightly Saul Bass inspired, conceptually perfect & visually stunning. So refreshing to see these instead of the usual uber-photoshopped hollywood rubbish. They're to promote the Rolling Roadshow 'We are all Workers' film season. They're screening films in locations where they where set or shot. Such a good idea, I'd love to hit one up!

A trip to Berlin & another masterpiece vid from BLU

Unicorn - the new white meat.

Ha, nom nom - Taken from Think Geek.com...

"Unicorns, as we all know, frolic all over the world, pooping rainbows and marshmallows wherever they go. What you don't know is that when unicorns reach the end of their lifespan, they are drawn to County Meath, Ireland. The Sisters at Radiant Farms have dedicated their lives to nursing these elegant creatures through their final days. Taking a cue from the Kobe beef industry, they massage each unicorn's coat with Guinness daily and fatten them on a diet comprised entirely of candy corn.

As the unicorn ages, its meat becomes fatty and marbled and the living bone in the horn loses density in a process much like osteoporosis. The horn's outer layer of keratin begins to develop a flavor very similar to candied almonds. Blending the crushed unicorn horn into the meat adds delightful, crispy flavor notes in each bite. We are confident you will find a world of bewilderment in every mouthful of scrumptious unicorn meat."

I managed to get back home to Hobart (Tasmania) over Xmas & New Year... had a great time while home. During my trip a friend of mine was having a farewell party/photography exhibition at one of the local bars & asked me to do some doodles on the bar walls. It was interesting working with the inverted colours (white marker on black glass walls). Plus, markers on glass are so silky smooth...

"A.D." Animated Zombie Film - Teaser Trailer

Liking the look of this little teaser... (Taken from Slash Film) "Given the fact that zombies evidently can’t be stopped as the subject of live-action films, I’m fairly surprised that we haven’t yet seen much in the way of animated walking dead. That might change if the film A.D. is given a chance to get off the ground. Here we have a teaser trailer that also seems to be acting as a fundraising effort. The folks behind this project definitely have the visuals down, and they’re hoping to spin this concept and world into a feature."
