It’s Oscar month. And that means Best Picture alt-poster time.
Four of my favorites are below, courtesy of the usual suspects. I love that some (George Grey and Eileen Steinbach) use a consistent theme to connect their line-up while others (Haley Turnbull and Matt Needle) create whatever that title inspires in them. There’s obviously no wrong direction to head and, regardless of which they choose, we get to enjoy the spoils of extra art long past the actual marketing campaigns.
And despite those nominees not necessarily needing the added boost, it is nice for us to receive another in-road to talk about them again. Because, as is usually the case, the morning after the Oscars unofficially moves everyone’s attention towards next year’s hopefuls (if Sundance praise hasn’t done so already).

For years, Awesome Art We’ve Found Around The Net has been about two things only – awesome art and the artists that create it. With that in mind, we thought why not take the first week of the month to showcase these awesome artists even more? Welcome to “Awesome Artist We’ve Found Around The Net.” In this column, we are focusing on one artist and the awesome art that they create, whether they be amateur, up and coming, or well established. The goal is to uncover these artists so even more people become familiar with them. We ask these artists a few questions to see their origins, influences, and more. If you are an awesome artist or know someone that should be featured, feel free to contact me at any time at theodorebond@joblo.com.This month we are very pleased to bring you the awesome art of…

Looks like summer is starting early again with franchises galore this March. Studios are trying to hit the ground running as Oscar season finally comes to a close and theaters desperately look for safe, brand-name IP to get patrons through their doors to purchase the rapidly growing trend of alcoholic beverages. Seems to be working so far with Regal still keeping most of its announced closures open for business well past their shutter dates.
All the more reason to try and wow audiences with a good campaign that sets you apart from the rest like Brian Hung’s Walk Up—once again releasing his new poster with only a couple weeks to spare and thus well after I already set my picks for this feature. Especially in small-to-medium markets like my own here in Buffalo, I’ve never seen so many independent films filling the marquees here. Theaters seem to...

Here is a handsome, minimalist, poster. Was it Godard who said, "All you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun"? Clearly, he overlooked the cute little purse dog, and besides: domestic animals are good for one's mental health. Either way, we have this lovely, lemon-hued design from German designer Eileen Steinbach for She's Mine Now, a short film by Dalton Okolo. The film itself involves an assassin who 'inherits' the puppy from one of her hits. The key art presents itself in three layers: the chunky-light Serif typography of the title in warm-white, the lead character in black silhouette, forms the letter O with her head, and the doggo (in the same shade of white) is halo'd by her long formal...

It’s The Batman time. As such, there aren’t many studio pictures hitting theaters to combat the cowl this month. So, with Turning Red going to streaming, the time for counter programming through indie and foreign titles is here. Hopefully your local theaters comply. If not, there are a few below hitting VOD too. You can go to Gotham and still return home for something more low-key.
And there’s always Oscars catch-up with the last few nominees finding their way to digital and/or streaming this month. That also means the alternative poster game has begun to increase in the lead-up to March 27’s ceremony. Here are some of my faves from Needle Design, Eileen Steinbach, Haley Turnbull, and Scott Saslow:
A familial pose
There are so many sightlines in P+A’s poster for After Yang that it’s impossible not to find your way through the entirety of the page.

If my shortlist for this piece is any indication, Hollywood adjusted to Covid just fine. I’ve put aside an average of 60-70 posters every year since I’ve been doing Posterized until barely hitting 40 in 2020. It wasn’t a dearth of quality work, but the fact that there were so many fewer releases to choose from. And since I base these columns on current-year US runs rather than when one-sheets start making their rounds, my pool of candidates was greatly reduced.
So either 2021 work was off-the-charts or the hybrid theatrical-streaming schedule found itself whole once again, because I was back to around 65. It helps too when you get new players on the scene, alt-posters too good to dismiss, and social-media controversy courtesy the collision of nudity and art that put more international designs into our American consciousness.

The number of films releasing each month is steadily increasing yet again thanks to vaccines being administered in record time and theaters around the country re-opening. Even so, the marketing for the biggest names among them ultimately proves too lackluster to mention even without the below nine ensuring blocking them out. Mortal Kombat (in theaters April 23) never stood a chance.
Bonus: Now that the Oscar nominations are here, the usual suspects in the alt poster community (I’ve collected a bunch in this Twitter list) have begun their annual Best Picture series. There are a ton of great ones out there, but my 2021 favorites are those created by Eileen Steinbach (Sound of Metal below), Matt Needle (Promising Young Woman below), Snollygoster Productions (The Trial of the Chicago Seven below), and Scott Saslow (The Father below). Definitely check out their currently in-progress sets.

All we’ve seen of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is the trailer, and already fans are super-hyper-excited. Which, of course they are. Keanu Reeves is riding a horse and fighting off katana-wielding assassins on motorcycles in the damn thing! The official posters released by the studio have actually been outstanding, which is always a pleasant surprise. But what about the fan art inspired by the trailer?
A couple of Poster Posse artists have taken a crack at it, and I love both pieces. The first one is by Simon Delart, and it shows John Wick rocketing backward, guns drawn, as he is chased by said katana-wielding, motorcycle-riding assassins. (See? I told you they were the best part.) (Also I am sorry I had to crop it for the header.)
