Ibraheem Youssef's Quentin Tarantino Tribute Posters

The worlds of Tumblr often find me little nuggets of awesome, and today is no different. I've found out about the work of Ibraheem Youssef, a Toronto-based designer and art director, and his series of Tarantino tribute posters. Four of Tarantino's films were redone in his idiosyncratic style: Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill Vol. 1, and Kill Bill Vol. 2. If you've seen those movies, you'll get the guiding stylistic reference within the posters. Check his Flickr out, too, if you'd like to see more.

Posters, posters, posters. I could just make a blog of reblogged posters. (I'd love to see his idea for an Inglourious Basterds poster, though! Which would it be: Angry Hitler? Scalping? Aldo Raine in a white-tux? Bridget von Hammersmark with a card in her hat? Hans Landa with his glass of milk?)
