Crazy 4 Cult: Cult Movie Art Book Review
About the Book: The annual Crazy 4 Cult art show in LA has quickly become a phenomenon, with thousands of visitors, a million hits on its website on opening day, and high profile buyers including Kevin Smith and Edgar Wright.
Why? Because the cream of the pop culture-influenced art scene - including Shepard Fairey, creator of the Obama 'Hope' poster - come together to celebrate cult movies with art that is surprising, beautiful and very, very cool.
This lavishly produced book presents the best of the first 4 years of the show, with art inspired by such movies as The Big Lebowski, Edward Scissorhands, Blade Runner, Donnie Darko, A Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction and many more.
Our Take: This new hardcover book features dozens of fantastic art pieces based on pop culture movies! The book is full of low-brow artwork, some by artists I already knew and some that I was introduced to for the first time. I would say I enjoyed at least 90% of the pieces in there. Everything is covered from Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice to Bookdock Saints, Fight Club and Army of Darkness! Everything cult from the well-known to the obscure. This book is a must-have.
