Here’s the cover featuring Up in the Air, with a very Mad Men-esque treatment of George Clooney:

Wow. I agree. Those ARE amazing!
They are really cool. I just have a massive amount of respect for people who can create such cool bits of work. Oh and I just watched 'Precious' the other day on a flight and I thought it was brilliant - well worth a look.
Brilliant! I especially like the one for Hurt Locker. And no, I haven't seen Avatar either - it's not very high up on the priority list...
These are incredible. Tavis Coburn is brilliant! Huge fan of Hurt Locker and Up in the Air.
Travis is realy cool man. I like that retro art:)
Love the retro art
