Movie Poster Mash-Ups: Artist Rock Stars

This post was brought to you by Flavorwire.

Now this is really funny! I got a great laugh here especially with the tagline, "You don't have to be a hero to do this job. But it helps." Tim McCool did a great job with these movie poster mash-ups! Check em' out when you have a chance.

Some artists have achieved rock star status and to prove it just go to their openings where you'll see actual rock stars and some well-known Hollywood faces cruising the joint, looking at the art and getting their pictures taken by the papa-paparazzi. Art appreciation or star appreciation?

Banksy

This image is by Banksy, a the well-known street artist who's last gallery show just took place in London this past summer. I wish I could have seen his paintings in person. Great stuff.

Check out the Tim Burton Exhibit

The catalog does no justice, and I really couldn't sneak a (good) picture in but I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend the Tim Burton exhibit at the MOMA. It includes over 700 drawings, paintings and sketches. For this alone, the show is worth the crowd. The drawings are wonderful to see in person.

Street Artist: Swoon

I ran into one of my an interview of Swoon, whom I've never seen before. So it was quite a discovery. I had a feeling this artist was somewhere nearby, definitely living in Brooklyn 'cause most of the pieces I've had the luck running into have been in Dumbo, the Slope, etc, etc. I love how the direction the art is going.

Millennium Park, Chicago

Check out these pics by Thinking About Art -- makes me want to go back to Chicago just to experience it myself, since I had no idea this even existed!
