Each country has it’s own preferred style of art attached to movies. While the West dumb down films to appeal to impulse buys from big store shoppers, simplifying the cover to cliched clip art, the East ramp things up with breakneck visuals of eye popping intensity. I first heard of Ryohei Miyaji after happening up the Manborg / Father’s Day – Astron-6 Troma release in Japan. With Uncle Lloyd heading to Japan for the release a design was circulating promoting the event & movies being shown. Behold.
After friending the artist on Facebook my newsfeed would be occasionally interrupted by his epicness & filling me with the desire to book a flight over to his part of the world to worship at the alter of VHS. Take a look at some of his other works & tell me you wouldn’t want to see these on a shelf in a store or displayed in a movie theatre.
