Christopher Lee / The Beast is Back Illustration
Los Angeles based illustrator, Christopher Lee, has an eye for designing kooky characters. This poster, originally created for Gallery 1988’s group show “Crazy for Cult,” has a fun take on some characters from cult classic movies. The colors are reminiscent of my mom’s old tupperware (hooray for avocado green!), and the mixture of type is really pleasing to the eye. From Howard the Duck to Data from The Goonies, there are so many little intricacies within each character of this poster that it forces my hungry eye to want more!

Thanks for the comments everyone. Nerdski, I’m glad you remember the Urbanites. Sadly, the rest of the vinyl toy line never took shape
If anyone is curious, that Crazy 4 Cult poster will be for sale in my online store this weekend. I just never got around to putting it up.
Erin, thank you for the contact, but it would be best to just email me directly with your proposal. I don’t feel comfortable soliciting my services on this post.
Thanks again grain edit! You guys rock.
