Alex Pardee Design Poster: Digging Up the Marrow

So one of my favorite artist is Alex Pardee a graphic illustrate who belongs to the upper playground collective. Alex recently designed a poster for an up coming horror flick called "Digging Up the Morrow". Alex Pardee is a great horror illustrator and has his unique approach to type face. In the poster we see the word, "the Marrow" used in a light tan color as if it was written with some sort of water based ink, then scaned and rasterrized on Illustrator. What i find fascinating is how the artist communicates a sense of feeling through the type face. Looking at it I feel like he is  trying to get a sample of my own marrow. That is very important for the artist to give the audience a feeling through a poster. This type face illustrations is similar to that seen by the artist Ralph Steadman (FIlm: Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas). The Type face sits on top of some creature with dark shadow covering his face. The background of the poster goes from a gradient yellow to a red, with the type face covering the eye sight of the creature in the back.

I wish Alex Would of illustrated the creature rather then using some sort of photo image, with textures. But the overall poster hold up, I appreciate the feeling I get through this design and I get a great idea of what the film is about
