Alternative Movie Posters II: More Film Art from the Underground (Alternative Movie Posters, 2)

This is a really cool book and makes for a great present! The first one I received arrived with a bent book jacket, but Amazon was quick to send me a replacement, great customer service! My only complaint is the way the book lays.....as a coffee table type book, it would be much better if it would lay flat open. Maybe it just needs to be opened more, but it seems very tightly bound and you have to hold it open to look through it.

Fantastic book, a must for any movie or art lover. I have purchased 2 posters (they provide websites) from the book so far. Will be purchasing book 1. Thank You

Great book. Already one of my favorites. The pictures and details are great! Highly recommend adding this one to your collection!

Beyond rad, as a cover artist who sees any book as a reference StudyThis book has it all

Fun to flip through and goid to have sitting about for guests to flip through too.

Awesome artwork. Great for design inspiration when you're stuck.

Very good

'Alternative Movie Posters II: More Film Art from the Underground' by Matthew Chojnacki is a second collection of amazing art for different movies. Some have been used for film festivals, some have been printed and sold at shows, and some have been done just for this book.Current Hollywood movie posters seem to lack something. They seem to be driven by photoshopped pictures of the stars, but there was a time when a movie poster was something that fueled the imagination. The almost 100 artists in this book know this and are trying to bring those times back. Each artist feature has two works displayed. There is a short bit of text with information about what is behind the posters, the artists favorite film genre and medium to work in. They also share the first movie they remember seeing, and the artists who influence and inspire them. The work leans a bit more towards the horror genre but just about every genre is represented.The work is beautiful and interesting. In some cases, the work might represent spoilers in obscure ways by showing striking images from the film. In some cases, the artists have been hired by Hollywood . I would love to see this sort of work representing movies today. It would be much more interesting than what is normally done these days. Photoshopping celebrities is much less interesting than what is represented here.I received a review copy of this ebook from Schiffer Publishing Ltd. and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Great book. Bought for film mad brother in law as a birthday gift, he loved it.
