Trick or Treat!!
After seeing Linzie's post on Guy Fawkes day, I was reminded of a movie I recently saw, "V for Vendetta". This was a pretty good film, not really the best film I have ever seen, but the posters for this film are amazing. The posters are a breath of fresh air considering all of the cheezy celebrity portrait filled posters that we are bomarded with. They are a tasteful homage to a couple of my favorite artists of all time- The Stenberg Brothers.

The Stenberg brothers were part Russian, part Swede, and kick-started modern poster design. I am sure they would have added many more amazing posters to their body of work if Stalin hadn't come on the scene. One brother was relegated to theatrical set painting, the other died in a motorcycle crash. I plan on posting more on these amazing artists in the next few days.

V for Vendetta is worth renting. Rent it tomorrow night to keep yourself busy while the trick or treaters come by....
The creepy chancellor.
