The art of Blade Runner - props for the wall.

[Eagle]

 
I need to fill this space!...



I'm a bit nifty with the old vector software and can copy and reproduce almost anything from even poor quality imagery. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good sites for reference on Blade Runner street art - sidewalk graphics, parking meter graphics, vehicle signs etc. I might even offer them here as sparkly, high-res graphics when I'm done. As big as you want 'em!

Like a numpty, I sold my BR reference books years ago...

This guy has a bunch of cool downloads...

I also often do a Google search for Blade Runner and check images and set the parameters to high resolution images to come up with some great stuff.

I'm sure one of the nice oversized posters would look great.

Here's some art work that might work for you Eagle:

[Eagle]

Hmm... I so need to get those tiles.

[andy]

OB, are those from the DVD set?

Andy

[Once-bitten]

Not really sure where they came from.
A friend sent them to me a while ago and I never asked where he got them.
Here's some more, maybe you can tell me:

Those drawings are stunning!

[Once-bitten]

Yeah...I think so to.
Here's a link to the guy that drew them for pre-production as far as I understand it. There are even a few more to be found here:

Whoa, OB, thanks for sharing! Very impressive.

[BeastMaster]

I love these storyboards! aren't most of these in the illustrated blade runner? looks like those pics are from ebay.

If I ever get the time I want to have a go at painting that Zhora snake dance scene.

Great pics, OB !

Mentor Huebner worked on a lot of movies... among them, Blade Runner and D U N E...



some of those are on the DVD set (but don't remember where), others are on the Blade Runner sketchbook, but I don't recall seeing the first one anywhere...

Very cool... Thanks for sharing !

I remember the auction that posted those Mentor Huebner drawings last year or so. When I contacted them about them they offered me a photocopy of a complete storyboard set, that was also in Mentor Huebner's collection. It was an insane amount of money for a story board set, but very few complete sets have ever seen the light of day. Most of the ones I have seen are only the first half of the movie and poor quality. Still, it was beyond my means anyway. Mentor Huebner does not get enough credit for helping to establish the mood of the movie. I love his work.

Came up with a way to display the magnifier screen with the help of an old print. Stills dont really do it justice as Harrys face does some wicked distorting as your move your head, freaky man.................

Anyone know the font used for the Metrokab logo?

[andy]

Very likely created from scratch as Fred did for his tickets.

Definitely from scratch as seen here from some original production artwork:

[Eagle]

Ah, that's easily done. Thanks very much.
