If we receive enough
inspiration going forward, we'll try and post one of these up every
now and again, but for now, allow me to introduce a very cool movie
artist that I came across a few months ago, whom I think many of you
might also dig. Let me start from the beginning though, a few months
ago, a JoBlo.com reader dropped me a line to a painting from a dude
named Justin Reed. THIS
was the painting that I saw at the time. I'm not a big "art
lover" or anything, but I recently moved into my own pad (yeah,
my parents just started charging too much rent...hehehe), so
needless to say, I was looking for something to "spice" up my walls, between the TAXI DRIVER and GOODFELLAS posters.
Specifically, something cool and distinct.
Enter Justin Reed and
his hand-painted movie art, some of which you can see below this
article. Art being subjective, I'm sure these paintings might not
appeal to all of you, but if any of you were on the lookout for some
slick paintings to spruce up your pad, Justin has a few of these for
sale, does commissions (the RESERVOIR DOGS painting below is one of
mine!) and despite not being cheap, is certainly worth the extra
bucks, if you're looking for something unique and movie-oriented.
You can email him directly at jreed@svsu.org
and click on any of the examples below to see them enlarged. PS:
You're not a "real" movie fan if you can't name all of the
movies made reference to, in these paintings (16 in all). Pshaw!!

Extra Tidbit:
PLEASE DON'T SEND ME ANY MORE EMAILS, THIS WAS ALREADY WON. TOOK ALL BUT THREE MINUTES. The answer was 1) American Psycho, 2) Reservoir Dogs, 3) Donnie Darko, Secret Window, A Beautiful Mind, The Machinist, Fight Club, 4) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 5) Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Dogma, Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mallrats, 6) The Rules of Attraction, 7) Closer, 8) Pulp Fiction.
The first person to email me with the correct titles of all the films portrayed in the paintings in this article (Note: Two of them has more than 1 film in it), gets a brand spankin' free DVD sent to them direct from JoBlo.com headquarters (Note: It might be a piece of shit).
