I f*cking hate spring, by Ariel Hammer…

“Spring time is stereotypically thought of and commercially displayed as a time of happiness and re-growth. (paired with a nauseatingly cheery pastel pallet.) To me spring is an allergy ridden, extension of winter. Droll, stressed, and consistently sick of routine I directed America’s favorite spring mascot to interpret the season how I see it. Beneath the chicks, excess of candy, pastel Easter eggs, and blooming flowers lays my melancholy, desolate, exhausted feelings toward spring.”

This collection of re-imagined movie posters is brainchild of notorious artist Matt Busch.  Each HOLLYWOOD IS DEAD poster parody is faithfully recreated by Busch’s ability to adapt any painting style thrown his way.  As opposed to just taking the original posters and altering them digitally in PhotoShop, Busch has painstakingly hand-painted every detail with traditional mixed media, before slaughtering them with a zombified treatment.

Our favorite? Indiana Bones! And yours?

“The tedious handiwork and obsessive care I employ to create my work aims to remind the viewer of these simple but intimate pieces of everyday life and to provoke a pang of nostalgia for the familiar physicality of these objects.”
