The “Godzilla” Trailer is Awesome!
Remember when I was going on about how much I liked the Godzilla poster above?
And that I liked this Godzilla-sized version even more?
Well, I think the Godzilla trailer embedded below is even better than both and I would go so far to say as that the trailer below is the best Godzilla movie ever made.
Jeremy Treece and Sly Stallone
Jeremy Treece has created art for comic books, trading cards, animation and independent films. Today we have Treece’s take on Sly Stallone.
Alfred Hitchcock or Saul Bass: Who Directed the “Psycho” Shower Scene?
Who directed the Psycho shower scene?
Most folks would say, “Alfred Hitchcock” since Hitchcock is the director credited with directing Psycho. Add to the fact that Hitchcock says he directed the scene and it would seem like case closed.
Ah, but things are seldom that easy, are they?
You see Hitchcock hired Saul Bass, the famous graphic artist, to storyboard the shower scene. And Bass was on the set for the seven days it took to shoot the scene. And Bass claims he directed the scene.
Vashi Nedomansky lays out a case to show that whether or not Bass directed the scene…
…it’s quite clear that the Saul Bass storyboards were followed explicitly to create the indelible images that made this spectacular scene.
Nedomansky’s Who Directed the PSYCHO Shower Scene? should be required reading for all movie fans.
Well done, Vashi.
Diggin’ The New “Godzilla” Poster
It has been a long time since I’ve seen a new movie poster that I really liked. Who’d have thought that Godzilla would be the latest?
Not me.
The fact is, I do dig it. I like this Godzilla-sized version even more.
Josh Cooley’s Movies R Fun
Josh Cooley is a storyboard artist for Pixar. In his spare time Cooley works on personal projects.
His latest is Movies R Fun described as a “children’s picture book parody for grown-ups.”
If you check out the trailer (yes, the book has a trailer) for Movies R Fun you’ll see that Cooley’s fun children’s book drawings of “age restricted” movies aren’t for children, but instead for the kid in all of us grownups.
Adrian Brody is Harry Houdini
The February 21, 2014 issue of Entertainment Weekly presented a First Look at Adrian Brody as Houdini. Brody will play Houdini in a four hour mini-series that will premiere in May on the History Channel.
I’m looking forward to this. I like Houdini (who doesn’t) and Brody is an interesting actor. Brody is also a Houdini fan (who isn’t) and said Houdini is…
“…probably the original superhero. Nobody (else) dared to do the things he dreamed up.”

I’m “Toy Story.” Which Pixar Movie are You?
When I took Buzzfeed’s Which Pixar Movie are You? I got Toy Story. It went on to say…
You are a natural leader and pioneer while also being easily approachable and well-liked — a balance you maintain perfectly. You may also have a thing for the ’90s.
I’d like to think that all those characteristics are true, except for the thing for the 90’s. I’m a 70’s guy.
Thomas Boatwright’s Rocky Balboa Watercolor
Thomas Boatwright is back again this week [just as promised]!
Thomas recently ran a watercolor sketch sale and I jumped on board for a couple. Thomas came up with the idea of bookending the Rocky series. Here is his take on Rocky. The watercolor above is his riff on Rocky Balboa. Great idea by Thomas and I love the way the art turned out.
If you’d like to see more of Thomas Boatwright’s art check out his blog and his DA site. Send him some love.
If you get commissions, you should consider a piece from Thomas. He keeps you totally in the loop on his progress, finishes his commissions on or ahead of schedule, has very reasonable prices, is a fantastic artist and always gives you more than you’re expecting! – Craig
