Reminder: The draw for the Atari and Robot Rock prints is this coming Thursday. If you want to enter the contest, just leave a comment on the post and tell me your favorite video game of all time.

I have a copy of both the Robot Rock and Atari 18″ x 24″ posters to give away. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post (and for fun, tell me your favorite video game of all time) to enter the draw. Multiple comments will still only get you one entry into the draw, so a single comment will do.

The winner will receive a copy of both posters, which will be announced May 1st. Be sure to include your email address in the field provided so I can notify the winner.

Game over. Comments have been closed

The people who never sleep over at Smashing Magazine made a stellar post recently regarding the Celebration of Vintage and Retro Design. They brought together a plethora of different styles and mediums that were prevalent from the 1930s to the 1970s, as well as modern artists who are influenced by past design cues. They were kind enough to include a few of my pieces, as well.

Go check it out at Smashing Magazine for some high-octane vintage inspiration.

This piece is based on the 1978 poster entitled La Femme est l’avenir de l’europe by Roman Cieslewicz. I was so intrigued by Cieslewicz’s use of bold colored lines on rough photography that I wanted to pay homage to his style, while attempting to make the piece my own.

This was a very tricky process to get the lines moving in the proper direction and involved a lot of Photoshop painting to get the proper color effect.

You can check out the original piece here in Alk1′s Flickr set.

Amazing use of color and form by Polish designer Roman Cieslewicz (1930 – 1996). His posters are all distinctly different from one another, yet hold a common thread even though he uses an array of media. Certainly a multi-faceted designer. I especially like the colored line treatment on La Femme est l’avenir de l’europe. Beautiful stuff.
