CATCH ME DADDY
Music video maverick Daniel Wolfe lays out his arthouse credentials with the poster for his new thriller Catch Me Daddy. The Boschian painting is by New York-based artist Mu Pan, whose surrealist pop vision mines references from Chinese woodblock prints and fantastical pen and ink drawing.
LIGHTNING BOLT, FANTASY EMPIRE
Lightning Bolt’s Brian Chippendale has created some spooky sleeve art for the band’s album Fantasy Empire. The white-hatted wood creatures recall artist David Noonan’s screenprints, overlaying occult imagery and dark historical shadows.
MARC ALMOND, THE VELVET TRAIL
The artwork for Marc Almond’s album The Velvet Trail gives a night-owl twist on the folksy motifs familiar from the surrealist paintings of Chagall. Its hybrid farm animals float against a palette of abstract nightclub reds, purples and turquoises.
THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY POSTER
Julian House’s poster for Peter Strickland’s S&M love story The Duke of Burgundy, mines similar retro influences to the rising Brit auteur’s Berberian Sound Studio, including the gothic femme fatales that graced the posters of Jess Franco’s vampire romps.
MARVEL COVERS RUN THE JEWELS
Marvel is paying homage to hip-hop duo Run The Jewels this year with a series of comic-book covers. Here, their logo is reimagined as a meeting between anti-hero Deadpool and Marvel MacGuffin the Infinity Gauntlet.
