Boris Vallejo Creates A Movie Poster For The Upcoming Cult Sensation 'Rubber'

Boris Vallejo is one of my all time favorite artists... ever! I love his fantasy themed art that has graced countless book covers and movie posters. He's immortalized Tarzan, Conan, Doc Savage, and every other pulp icon in the paperback copies of their adventures. He also did the art for George A Romero's 'Knightriders', 'Q the Winged Serpent' (one of my 80's faves!), Barbarella, and he even did the awesome posters for Chevy Chase's 'National Lampoon's Vacation' & 'National Lamppoon's European Vacation'. He also contributed to the 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie For Theaters' with his wife, and painting partner, Julie Bell. He rarely does movie poster work... and he has come out of his cave to produce a new poster for the upcoming killer tire movie 'Rubber'.

This movie is the buzz of the net right now, and is sure to benefit from the upcoming buzz that it's screening at SXSW is sure to bring. This awesome poster from an unreal artist is definitely going to help the cause:

Nice... the dude's still got it!!! You can click Read more below to see more of the classic movie posters from Boris Vallejo that I mentioned above... these are amazing! I hope you enjoy.
