Absolute Peak
Looking through
this amazing site dedicated to the late illustrator Bob Peak makes me think of how lazy people have gotten lately with Photoshop and such. Show me someone who can master
paint and they get my endless admiration. Peak's dense, montage-filled movie poster designs were the visual staples of '70s and '80s megaplexes. Knowing how ubiquitous he was back then actually makes me appreciate the craftsmanship in his work even more. He also did tons of magazine covers and ads - like the smoothly behatted fellow below.
