I can't go since I'm stuck in Tokyo at the moment, but I hope someone catches this since this is a one day shot.
Bob Peak exemplifies everything that is good and important about what an artist or illustrator brings to the movie poster. When movie posters could still be considered coveted illustration art and not photoshopped fashion photos----Bob Peak revolutionized what we know as the Hollywood movie poster. Bob Peak is to the modern Hollywood movie poster is what J.C. Leyendecker is to modern illustration.
His work didn't just advertise the movie but it arguably made and artistic statement about the concept, theme and energy of the film.
The Society of Illustrators is having special event today to honor Bob Peak. It would behoove anyone who still appreciates illustration and taste to go. ONE day only.
