THE DUDE DESIGNS: Movie Poster Artist Tom Hodge

[brude]

Artist Tom Hodge has that 'grindhouse' thing going on big time.
I first noticed his work at impawards.com for HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, starring Rutger Hauer, and I am totally impressed.  While I don't own any of his fabulous posters yet, I thought it was appropriate to post some of them here for anyone who might not be familiar with this rising young star in the movie poster illustration field.  I think we'll be seeing a lot more of him.





Tom has a great blogspot detailing his work, his method and his madness.  Check it out NOW.

I know Tom a bit. He's a great artist and a very nice guy to talk to.
This 'Hobo' poster really kickstarted his career. He now has so many requests he had to quit his day job and move to full-time poster designing.
Which hopefully means studios slowly move from photoshopped faces back to art.

That is great news.  This hobby -- and the industry -- needs more talent like his.
I sent him a link to the forum when I started this thread and I suspect that he's popped in from time to time.
"Tom, if you are reading this, registration is free and we would love to hear from you!"

Tom Hodge is at it again.
Here's his latest poster and a link where he explains how he arrived at the design.

Tom Hodge continues to crank out some funky designs...

The Poster Collective just conducted this Q&A with Hodge, in which he discusses his favorite movie posters:

They're cool, good to see some old-school exploitation style poster art.

Tom Hodge really captures the spirit of giallo horror with this brand-new design for The Editor.

That is a new poster?  Nice concept and well executed!  Not sure I like the "off register" printing, assuming it's intentional -- it really kills the crispness of the image.

I contacted Tom about a year ago.  It seems his style was heavily influenced by Thai poster art.  I, of course, was pretty excited to hear that.

That is a new poster? 

Yup. Brand spankin' new.

The film looks to be a hoot -- especially if you appreciate giallo.

Wasn't sure if I should post this in the Mondo thread or here.
Tom just whipped this out for Mondocon 2015.

I reckon that's several of the exhibitors: http://mondo-con.com/guests/

I know there's a few fellow Tom Hodge admirers on APF. So you might be interested to see they have turned WolfCop into a comic: https://www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/viewProduct.html?PRO=C72513025275301011.
Even better, a sequel is on its way and the poster is a very cool riff on an 80s Sly Stallone classic:

Thanks for the links, Mardukas.
Glad to see Hodge banging out these cool designs.

The latest from Tom Hodge revealed today.
Whether it'll get widespread print distribution is anyone's guess, but they usually do.
