As regular visitors know, we’re big fans of alternative film posters and movie fan art here at Slacker Shack. One of our favourite spots of recent times has been this alternative poster design for 1973 British film, The Wicker Man – check it out below, it’s stunning:
The poster is by freelance illustrator/designer/screenprinter Dan Mumford, who works out of Studio100 in central London and screenprint studio in Dalston. You can check out more of his work here.
Jack Potter was a 1950’s American illustrator and poster artist who became a teacher at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
His work was used on advertising posters for brands like Air France, Fuller Fabrics and most famously, Coca Cola.
I’ve only recently discovered his work and I love its vibrancy – and the simple moments he captures with an ever so slightly wonky clarity.
Check out two of his works below:
Potter died at his New York home in September 2002, aged 74.
I can’t get enough of Pinterest at the moment. If there’s a better site for finding lots of new and exciting art (as well as loads of other stuff), I’m yet to find it.
My tastes are varied, but more often then not I love stumbling across pop art, movie fan art, sketches of cultural icons, surreal and psychedelic paintings and alternative film posters.
Here are a few of my favourite recent finds:
David Lynch by Stanley Chow
Michael Caine by Phil Noto
Clouded by Dan Quintana
Bene Rohlmann collage
Portrait of a Man by Colin Chillag
Here’s a few of my favourite pieces of Big Lebowski fan art – all spotted whilst trawling through Google images and Pinterest recently:
Besides Pacifism by Derek Gores
Character sketches by Ronin Black
Walter Sobchak by Jim Rugg
One line Big Lebowski by Quibe

Here’s an alternative poster design for Paul Thomas Anderson‘s new (and much lauded) movie The Master:
It’s by Turkish graphic designer and illustrator Koray Doyran. I like the way it mixes a retro feel with the theme and pattern of the original poster.
Check out more of Koray Doyran‘s work here.
Here’s a very, very cool movie poster design for the Clint Eastwood starring spaghetti western, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly:
It was designed by Kansas City based freelance designer and illustrator Jeremy Burns. Check out more of his work here.
Here’s an awesome bit of poster art from Brazilian artist Alexandre Salles. It humorously imagines Batman as an old cigar puffing podge, and it’s quite brilliant:
Check out more of Alexandre Salles‘ work over on his deviantART page here.
Spotted this great portrait of The Penguin over at the Pixologic site and was very impressed – check it out (and if you know anything about it’s origins or the artist get in touch and tell all):
Here’s another top notch poster inspired by the filmic brilliance that is The Big Lebowski:
The poster is by Ale Giorgini – an awesome illustrator from Italy. Check out more of his work here.
