“Jaws” Alt Poster by Sahin Düzgün!
This Jaws 50th Anniversary poster created by Sahin Düzgün is one of my favorites that I’ve seen by him. It’s clever and scary. Definitely worthy to showcase Spielberg’s masterpiece.
Here is what Sahin had to say about his design: 50 years later and the ocean still feels a little less safe. Jaws didn’t just change cinema – it made us look twice before going for a swim. This poster’s all about tension, silence, and the shape beneath the surface. 🦈🌊

Marv by Andrew Krahnke!

“Rambo III” – Mick McGinty’s Rare Prelims for the Announcement Poster!
Rambo III was initially going to be directed by Russell “Highlander” Mulcahy. Two weeks into production, Mulcahy left due to creative differences. Peter MacDonald was brought in, and the rest is history.
But when Rambo III was first announced one of the ads had Rambo on horseback with a crossbow. The art above is some of the studies created by Mick McGinty before the final piece was created. Click on the photo above to see a trilogy-sized version.
Sly Stallone is Jack Carter by Eli Powell!
As I was going through the Zablo vault I came across Eli Powell‘s take on Sly Stallone as Jack Carter. I cannot believe I haven’t posted this piece until now. I commissioned this piece at HeroesCon 2017. Powell not only captured the likeness, but added some blood splatter for character. I dug it then and I still do.
