Over a year ago i decided i wanted to do an art show of faux exploitation-esque posters. Film has always been something that inspires me and I always wanted to tackle a project like that, but never felt confident enough to. This was meant to be my Italian Giallo poster. Probably one of my favorite film genres. I really love the cinematography, music, atmosphere, fashions, colors etc in these Italian thrillers. There are definitely some things i would like to touch up on this, but for now this is how it stands. There are a bunch more, so hopefully you like this. Maybe it will motivate me to finish them. The Title translates to "Blood Stains and Black Tears", i guess somewhat of a play off of Mario Bava's Blood and Black Lace title. Thank you to German Shible for doing that translation for me. -JC
Very nice!! Just like everything in your gallery, you're a great artist!! The only wrong thing is the translation: blood stains and black tears sound like "macchie di sangue e lacrime nere" in italian.
Ha yeah, someone else mentioned the translation was wrong. I had a friend translate it. I will eventually go back and fix it. Thank you for the correction and reminder though! I love this genre and have other ideas sketched out and somewhat completed. Will definitely be revisiting doing more of these! Thank you for the kind words! -JC
Very clever.
