The Bloom poster took me three months to complete. Some days I worked six hours, some days I worked fourteen hours, and some days I watched a lot of reality TV, drank a lot of whiskey, and checked my Facebook a lot of times. This is what it looked like around week eight.
Zachary Johnson takes us inside the creative process behind the poster he designed for his cousin Rian Johnson’s second film, The Brothers Bloom. As I am having one of those high-Facebook days, but haven’t yet dipped into the reality TV or the whiskey, I figured blogging this might offer incentive for me to stay strong.
I so want this poster. For real.
It reminds me a lot of a poster I have for another con/heist movie, “Harry and Walter Go to New York” from the mid-70s … but the “Brothers Bloom” poster is much prettier.
Hi, this is Zachary, who drew the poster.
I just wanted to quickly write to say a.) Thank you for liking my poster and blogging about it, and b.) Don’t succumb to whiskey and reality TV! The latter is the death of artistic productivity, and the former… well, the former is pretty nice sometimes.
