Hello all,
The blog side of my website has been fairly quiet for the past few months but that's because I've been meeting and interviewing several British designers and artists and today I'm very proud, and relieved, to publish the first of these interviews.
Over the past few months I've been lucky enough to have met and befriend the designer and artist Brian Bysouth and this interview is the result of the time I've spent with him. Brian is responsible for some of the most iconic film posters ever printed, including Highlander, Big Trouble in Little China, Raiders of the Lost Ark (style B), The Island at the Top of the World. He also painted what are unquestionably two of the last great James Bond posters; A View to a Kill and The Living Daylights.
He also worked on the seminal covers for the VHS and DVD releases of Star Trek The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. These and many more feature in this article that also includes never-before-seen sketches and concept artwork.
I'd love to hear what you all think of the article and I do hope you like this look at the life and career of a British film poster legend.
Here's a link to the article:
