The Harold Lloyd design celebrates one of the true legends of the silent film era. Ranking alongside Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd made over 200 films creating numerous iconic images still recogniseable today.

Harold Lloyd was one of the first great comedians of the silent era. This print is inspired by one of his classic films, Safety Last, which is a testament to Lloyd's dedication to safety and his role as an accident-prone daredevil who always finds a way out of trouble! Art by Ryan Rad

Buster Keaton Quotes: “I Don’t Feel Qualified To Talk About My Work”

Design created from promotional poster for 1920s Haxan documentary

I love the scene in Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens after Count Orlok bites Ellen Hutter's "lovely neck." As Orlok slowly looks up, with his twisted claw wrapped around the head of his victim, he stares directly into the camera for a beat, which makes for one of the creepiest scenes ever. As I often do, I captured my own still of this scene for reference and tried to pay tribute to the moment by painting in a dark, minimal 2-tone feel inspired by the grim but stark look of the movie. To contrast the near-black brushwork, I created a graphic background with my signature gradient banding in purple. Then I fit everything into an oval with a grainy vignette to sort of fuse vintage and modern into one look and tie it all together.

Buster Keaton Quotes: "Tragedy Is A Close-Up; Comedy, A Long Shot"

Silent film actress acting in black and white films. It was the beginning of cinema when emotions spoke more through exaggerated gestures and unique facial expressions.

A trip to the moon

"A day without laughter is a day wasted."

Before Jackie Chan there was Buster Keaton.

My favorite scene in Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens is the creepy shadow on the wall as Count Orlok ascends the staircase toward his final victim; it is one of the most iconic images in film and perfectly captures the ambiance of classic horror. In tribute to the simplicity of this still, I kept the artwork as minimal as possible. To contrast the near-black brushwork of the silhouette, I created a graphic background with my signature gradient banding in greyscale. Then I fit everything into an oval with a grainy vignette to sort of fuse vintage and modern into one look and tie it all together.

A tribute to one of Hollywood's greatest early stars.

Le Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon) is a 1902 French adventure short film directed by Georges Méliès. Inspired by a wide variety of sources, including Jules Verne's 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon and its 1870 sequel Around the Moon, the film follows a group of astronomers who travel to the Moon in a cannon-propelled capsule, explore the Moon's surface, escape from an underground group of Selenites (lunar inhabitants), and return to Earth with a captive Selenite. Its ensemble cast of French theatrical performers is led by Méliès himself as main character Professor Barbenfouillis. The film features the overtly theatrical style for which Méliès became famous.
