Andy Fairhurst Wants To Show You A Galaxy Far, Far Away... And Feature The Best Characters Of Each Film Of The Trilogy!!!

Mock up versions of movie posters are pretty common... shit, 3/4 of ALL Internet content consists of fake movie posters and cat captioned photos (I see you Cal... I see you!). And the most oft posterized film seems to be the original trilogy, the only trilogy.... Star Wars. It is an amazing set of films, and a touchstone for multiple generations of people, it makes sense that it is the one picked the most. But they usually tend to skew towards pedestrian. Not Andy Fairhurst, UK artist extraordinaire. He decides to go minimalist, but in a very cool way. He takes certain vehicles from each film and makes them the focal points of the posters, but he also subtly inserts the coolest characters of each film embedded into the whole background of the poster. The result is amazing. Upon a deeper review of Andy's website you find even more cool posters for classics like Jaws, Back To The Future and Rocky... as well as new movies such as Batman v Superman & Transformers. You can see all 3 of the Star Wars posters after the jump...

Silhouette Super Kids by Andy Fairhurst

Lots of artists  draw superheroes... nothing new there at all. But a good artist finds a niche way to make those famous heroes their own, whether it be a certain look that they give them or a certain medium that they draw them in. Andy Fairhurst's subjects may be familiar to you, but the way he chooses to convey them are quite unique. He uses a silhouette style to bring out the characteristics of the subjects, and he also chooses to portray them as kids. He has a series of 12 of these, which I included after the jump. But he also has lots of other great artwork, so click here to check it out...
