Bob Peak | Colors of the Past
Bob Peak is probably most famous for a string of popular movie posters he illustrated in the 80′s. He is responsible for three Star Trek posters, Superman, The Dark Crystal, and of course The Wiz, among others. But before his success as a poster artists and subsequent, slightly embarrassing, affair with the glare effect, Peak produced some wildly imaginative advertising work. He employed multiple focal points for his complex layouts and of course he used bold, saturated colors. Throughout the different styles he developed, I think his use of color was the most consistent element.
Thomas Peak, Bob Peaks son, writes in to tell us about the new Book of his father’s work.
…There is a new hard cover coffee-table book on THE ART OF BOB PEAK that will be available this Fall 2011. There is a “PRE-RELEASE SPECIAL PRICE OFFER” for the Bob Peak Book. Log onto www.bobpeak.com for more information.
What he doesn’t mention is the previously unseen pieces that will be in the book! I can’t wait to see it.
You can see a lot more of Bob’s work at his website, don’t skip the sports paintings.
