I have been more than busy over the last 2 weeks, finishing and sending the calendars and... sign up for a new studio ! So the Mr Cup studio will be a reality soon, in my new home town of Arles ! For the calendars, most of the orders are done... last one will be sent before new year ! I have very few copies left of the copper edition so it must be sold out before the end of the week... it is now or never ! 

 

Tonight I want to share this great project but Thibault Daumain which is, as the calendar, something done by passion ! I had the pleasure to taste it as Thibault kindly sent me a bottle, and it is perfect combination of great concept, packaging & product ! You can get a bootle at leonmarcel.com

For now, I want to share about these great project byStellavie, the hamburg based design studio run by Steffen Heidemann and Viktoria Klein. This time the duo partnered up with illustratorJulian Rentzsch. Skillfully set typography and an extraordinarily beautiful cotton paper stock paired with Julians remarkable drawing and illustration skills, both analogue and digital, these prints portrait some of the most brilliant minds and their work within the history of cinematography.

 

Here comes details and nice infos about each poster ! 

 

 

 

Tarantino

"I steal from every movie ever made“. Nobody in cinema is able to merge the influence of pop culture with the art and aesthetic of poetic violence and unique storytelling as clever as Quentin Tarantino.

Lynch

"This whole world's wild at heart and weird on top". Lynchs disrupted characters are as cryptic as his neo-noir stories.

Kubrick

"If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed."

Burton

"Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me". Tim Burton creates imaginative, surrealistic worlds with fantastical (and often slightly creepy) characters that truly enrich our imagination. It’s almost magic. This portrait illustrates the distinctive genius enlaced with references from his work within the history of cinematography. It is the remarkable drawing and illustration skills of Julian Rentzsch, both analogue and digital, the skillfully set typography and an extraordinarily beautiful cotton paper stock which truly turn this print into an absolute favorite, not only for hardcore cineasts.
