This Halloween treat yourself to one of the many thrilling films re-released by 20th Century Fox and Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Each film (Out Now), 19 in total, has a brand new cover boldly designed by the Mexican-Cuban artist, Orlando Arocena (also known as mexifunk), who's a graduate from the Pratt Institute and a co-founder of Uptown Arts. With more than 20 years experience delivering creative solutions for some of the world's most recognizable brands, Orlando has established himself as a non-conventional vector artist who explores cultural iconography, pop culture, and speculative narratives.
Presently he's collaborating with a number of art organizations located in New York City and Los Angeles, such as Republic Worldwide Inc., The Lodge Gallery, The Fountain Art Fair, Gallery 1988, Iam8Bit Gallery, and the Poster Posse. So when you've got the time, please check out the following new cover's he's designed for each of these films, with each film being complemented with one of my usual filmic-facts. Nice one, Orlando. First class art.
