Dr WHO - "The Landing" & "Guess Who"

(click on the above image for the glorius cinemascope edition )

Hi guys,

48 years ago, on Nov 23rd, the Tardis took off for first time, in glorious B/W.
To celebrate, here's a couple of Doctor WHO's offering.

The first, titled "The Landing" is just an exercise on cinemascope and horizontal scrolling - click on the image above and you'll see what I mean :)

The second, below, titled "Guess WHo", is a jam piece I did with my uber-talented friend Dan McDaid: you can see his pencils here.

Happy Birthday, Doctor Who! :)

Cheers,
Francesco

DEXTER 6.01 - "Those Kinds of Things"

(click on the above image for the larger poster view)

Hey guys,

As you may know, huge fan of Showtime's coolest serial killers killer DEXTER here, so when I finally started to watch the new episodes of season 6 (which I carefully DVRed in the past few weeks), I decided to do minimalist posters for each episode, just like I did with Doctor Who.

SO here's the first one, titled "Those Kinds of Things", and expect to see these more often since we are already 8 episodes into this season.
As usual my posters are SPOILER FREE but, of course, if you have seen the episode you might enjoy them more :)

Cheers,
Francesco
