A Poster You Can't Refuse

10/19/2007

I've seen The Godfather 40, maybe 50 times. But never like this.

Los Angeles pop art company, named appropriately enough, LA Pop Art, is creating a series of licensed posters for the '72 classic film using "micrography", an amazing (and tedious) technique that uses thousands of tiny words to create an image.

Each 24"x30" poster is made by using the entire script from the movie, handwritten, line by line, with each line completely legible, using only color and thickness of the letters to create shape and shading. (Probably done by the same guy who used to have to write "I will not throw spitballs in class" 100 times on the board every day back in elementary school.)

LA Pop Art has also created micrograph posters for Scarface, Rocky, The Wizard of Oz and Reservoir Dogs. If music is more of your thing, check out their posters using song lyrics from "California Dreaming", "Born to be Wild", "Viva Las Vegas", Bob Marley, Rage Against the Machine, and others.

Somewhere in LA there's a guy with a killer case of writer's cramp.

Big deal, you can make your own poster! <a href="http://www.instructables.co...">Check this out</a>.

And what about the script? Well, <a href="http://www.script-o-rama.co...">here's "Drew's Script-O-Rama"</a>

Not a bad link. But considering the time, effort, printing costs, etc. to do my own, I'll pop for the $14.

K-milo...the poster is totally different than the instructables, plus like BG says, seems like alot more effort than just shelling out $14 for something much cooler.

your nuts milo.. its totally different. one looks like a work of art and one looks like a computer program. Also, even if you made the one on your compuet- you still need to blow it up and print it at kinkos at a large size that should cost you about $40. Great plan buddy... you go do that, ill sit back and wait for my poster i just bought for $14 to show up in the mail... i dont have the time that you do to make and print a half assed more expensive product. Sounds to me like you are plugging that site and not making a real suggestion.
