“The Ability” by Theo Aartsma

Beautiful collection of work by a deeply talented artist.  Theo Aartsma shows an amazing diversity of talent.  He employs a range of styles and treatments to achieve a wide variety of looks.  Clean and precise but with a wonderful organic feel coupled with the true polish of an individual who knows what they are doing.  Fantastic.

Fantastic set of images from Polish movie posters from the 70’s through the 90’s. Really outstanding work and for the most part none of it has any baring upon the film in question, other than the most basic set of elements. They make every Hollywood blockbuster (and many others) look like wild euro art films. Fantastic.

Not sure how I missed posting this one from awhile back, but what a fantastic resource for “retro” design, both original work and some inspired but those originals. A whole slew of styles are in evidence, from retro-future to candy wrappers and product advertisements. This set embodies the term “inspiration”. Enjoy!

Below are some other crops from the above collection, couldn’t resist posting these, the quality overall is simply astounding.

This time from Shiny Binary - tough to find more interesting and beautiful work from a single source. I’ve seen this gentleman’s work published in Advanced Photoshop and it’s great to see so much more of his lovely creations in one place. Highly recommended for inspiration and appreciation.
