I’d see this movie based on the poster alone (though the film looks pretty neat).

Welcome to Day 2 of the Masks in Art & Design, a week long series that will explore the use of monster masks in graphic design, commercial illustration, and fine art…

Gig posters make for an easy segue from yesterday’s album cover post. First up are a few examples from designer Art Chantry. This Crockshock  poster below was made in ’95 for a music festival hosted in Seattle’s Crocodile Cafe…

Next up is a beautiful design from Minneapolis based Aesthetic Apparatus featuring the Topstone Mummy…

Try to guess which film of the 80′s is being remade by the description below (I’ll post the answer as a comment):

“…the new version follows Eric Bowen and his family, who, after he loses his job, relocate to a new town to start over. His daughter, Madison, is abducted, making him truly understand what’s important in life: family. In the new version Eric’s wife, Amy, can communicate with the dead.
Another interesting new character is Carrigan Burke, a television personality who hosts “Haunted House Cleaners.” The supernatural doesn’t scare this guy. Dr. Brooke Powell, Carrigan’s ex-wife, is a parapsychologist at a local university, and her team investigates the supernatural events surrounding the disappearance of the Bowen girl.”

One of my all-time favorite blogs is the Neatorama blog. It’s filled with irreverent news, geek developments, weird anomalies, cool photos, videos, movie info, and more. There’s only one common thread: everything is sort of neat, weird or wonderful. They also have one of the best gift shops on the internet with sections dedicated to topics like Zombies, Nightmare Before Christmas, Cthulhu, and of course, Halloween. If you haven’t visited Neatoshop, it’s the perfect place to shop for that person who has everything, plus shopping here supports the blog, independent artists and illustrators.

Welcome to Day 1 of the Masks in Art & Design a week long series that will explore the use of monster masks in graphic design, commercial illustration, and fine art…

It seems fitting to begin the series with Album Cover design. Most assuredly, there are many more examples which I have missed. Please leave a comment with any that you can think of and I’ll add them on…

First up is the double 45 for Poison 13 designed by Art Chantry. This design has it all, pop-ups, glow in the dark ink, clear vinyl, and a green band surrounding the whole package is adorned with Topstone illustrations. This is just one of the many reasons why Chantry is my favorite designer…

Here are a handful of other album covers that fit the bill for today’s post…

Mother of Invention – “The Ark” – 1968

Rock City Morgue – “Some Ghouls” – 2003

United – “Destroy Metal” E.P. – 1985
