Check It. Pictogram movie posters.

I have a soft spot for posters. A really, really soft spot. Something about the combination of my love for art and my love for pop culture, probably. So when I see a good poster, my heart aches a bit.

It did a bit for the Pictogram movie posters. The work of artist Viktor Hertz, these movie posters are nearly the epitome of minimalism, using simple pictogram imagery to portray a key scene or theme from a film. There's just something so great about that little devil tail coming out of that cradle for Rosemary's Baby, or the figure of the tall house from Up. And it's simplicity like that that often makes the best kind of poster.

Check out all of Hertz's creations here, with more expected to be added in the future. And if your heart ached a bit too, posters start at around $24 each (and are also waterproof?), which is a pretty great price for some great art.

Etc. Hatch Show Print.

Hatch Show Print is a very cool letterpress print shop in downtown Nashville. It began in 1879 and today they're still making posters on-site. We picked up an awesome red and white Hank Williams/Grand Ole Opry poster. Their range is wide--from music; Patsy Cline to Steve Martin to Old Crow Medicine Show, to advertisements for Dr. Martens and Holsum bread. The style is similar across the board, most made with basic colors and large block letters and vintage-style imagery. Check out their goods online.

Hatch Show Print is located at 316 Broadway in Nashville, TN.
