Director Spike Jonze has been in the news lately because of his work on the upcoming live-action film adaptation for Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are." He is also working on a new music video for Weezer titled "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived."
While in the Corner Bookstore last week for Michael Storrings' book signing, I saw the book Antoine's Alphabet: Watteau and His World by Jed Perl. The combination of the uncoated paper stock, cover image, and clean typography, created a beautiful package. But it may have been the placement of an old-style letter "A" that won me over.
While looking at the latest trailers added to apple.com, I spotted the fully illustrated movie poster for an upcoming documentary Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son about his Father. When I first saw the illustration at a very small size, I thought it may have been the illustration work of Marcel Dzama (maybe because of the muted color palette). But the illustration and beautiful hand lettering was created by Oregon-based artist Evan B. Harris. His work is represented by Johansson Projects and Cerasoli. Without knowing anything about the film prior to seeing the poster, now I am interested.
