Some years ago, I work with a printer who has a nice type poster in his office. I see on the bottom it was "created by Colophon". I check what Colophon is, and found about this little museum run by passionates in a small village in France... I have to visit it ! And I shoot these pictures... They stay in my hard drives since then. I saw todayonly they launch a crowdfunding as they need help to continue the project ! They get what they ask for but I know that more is always better to support the makers ! So, I think it is time to share them !

Check Colophon support page here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 !

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.
