These neon posters are out of this world. The series combines the retro style of neon signs with iconic films and the huge popularity of animated GIFs. How can you get any better than that? I mean, it is like one big mash of pop culture phenomena in one.
Created by artist Mr. Whaite, who seems to specialize in all things pop culture, the Neon Posters probably make up one of his most eye-catching projects yet. So far he has created a slew of movie posters, which include ones for 'The Shining,' 'Strangers on a Train,' 'Pee-Wee's Big Adventure' and 'The Seven Year Itch.'
I especially like how the movement created in each of these Neon Posters makes them look like real-life moving neon signs.
