Kick-Ass Propaganda Movie Poster Set

A set of retro looking, propaganda-esque Kick-Ass movie posters were released last week at SXSW, and they look awesome! The marketing behind this movie has been top notch, and The Blot has yet to hear a negative review of the film. From all reports coming out of SXSW, Kick-Ass is as good as it looks, and I can’t wait to see it.

The Kick-Ass propaganda poster is a spoof of the classic "I Want You For U.S. Army" posters featuring Uncle Sam, while the Hit Girl poster is based on the World War II era “We Can Do It” poster featuring Rosie the Riveter. Anyone know what piece of propaganda the Red Mist’s poster is based on?

Eddie Vedder Screen Print by Joshua Budich

After releasing a highly successful series of Dave Matthews Band prints (each print was a portrait of a different member of DMB), artist Joshua Budich is now turning his attention towards The Blot’s favorite band, Pearl Jam. There has been no indication that Budich will be producing an entire series of Pearl Jam prints, but this “Eddie” screen print is top notch. It’s definitely one of my favorite art prints featuring Pearl Jam’s lead singer, and I will be doing my best to snag one come Tuesday!

The “Eddie” screen print by Joshua Budich will go on sale today (Tuesday, March 23rd), sometime after noon PST, and will retail for $55 each. Each 19”x25” print comes signed & numbered by the artist and has a limited edition run size of just 200 prints. “Eddie” can be purchased directly from Joshua Budich at his online store.

Barneyism of the Week - The Perfect Picture

“Wait a second, look at these pictures again.
Barney has the same pose in each shot
and these are like years apart.” - Robin

Ah yes, about that.
I never take a bad picture.
Never have, never will.

“There has to be a bad picture of you.” - Robin

Nope, not one.

“What about from elementary school?
Everyone has bad pictures from school.” - Robin

Not the Barnacle.

I always look drop dead, stone cold amazing.

Unlike Marshall who just looks dead, stoned and cold.
