26. Fan Expo Toronto 2015 - Freak Show Studios Preview #11 - Mission Impossible Monday Countdown!

Fan Expo Toronto 2015 - Freak Show Studios Preview #11 - Mission Impossible Franchise!

I just upped my whopping convention poster count to a whopping conservative 18 posters.  I know what you all are saying right now, "Ken, you just blew our minds".  You're welcome and Mission Accomplished!  

I've created these indelible posters for the Mission Impossible franchise thus making the ultimate fanart posters for the series. No other Mission Impossible fanart posters now need be made. Trying is just futile.  Mission Accomplished Again!

Here are the MI posters from the now 18 MOVIE and TV posters I designed for Fan Expo in Toronto, Sept 3-6 2015.


 



One final poster to go which will be revealed soon.  Hint: Edward Scissorhands

Enjoy!

27. Fan Expo Toronto 2015 - Freak Show Studios Preview #10 - Burton's Batman Returns poster in honor of Burton's Birthday!

Fan Expo Toronto 2015 - Freak Show Studios Preview #10 - Burton's Batman Returns!

It's Tim Burton's 57th birthday today and I thought I'd mark the occasion with another poster debut and none more fitting then the "Batman Returns" poster I did.

Here is the 12th poster preview from the now 13 MOVIE and TV posters I designed for Fan Expo in Toronto, Sept 3-6 2015.


Enjoy!

...and here are 3 photos of Burton directing the Bat, the Cat and the Penguin for Batman Returns.

34. Fan Expo Toronto 2015 - Freak Show Studios Preview #3

Fan Expo Toronto 2015 - Freak Show Studios Preview #3

Here is the 5th poster preview from the 10 MOVIE and TV posters I designed for Fan Expo in Toronto, Sept 3-6 2015.

This is a conceptual "Jurassic Park" piece I did which has 3 ideas I tried to convey:

1.  A baby dinosaur coming out of its egg.
2.  The eye of the dinosaur is the amber which holds the mosquito.
3.  The overall shape of the dinosaur crack is the same shape as the remote island of Isla Nublar with an approaching helicopter just below it.

Enjoy!


Stay tuned for more previews coming soon!

This was a "Breaking Bad" piece I did and set against an all yellow background.
