Blur - Sing
Blur - Sing
One of dozens and dozens of concepts rendered by designer Saul Bass on the path to creating the iconic poster image for The Shining. Kubrick clearly favored this pointillist approach, which ended up being used in final design.
Hand-written notes are by Stanley Kubrick, and read: “Maze and figures place too much emphasis on maze. I don’t think we should use the maze in ads.”
Many of Saul Bass’s concept sketches can be viewed at the Stanley Kubrick Exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
I wish I could make it to LA to see this exhibit. I love seeing process work, and if Saul Bass is involved it’s that much sweeter.

Flash 15 should be in stores today. This book has continued to allow me to experiment and play around with my storytelling. In this issue, Barry has a “flash forward” in his unconscious state. Three potential outcomes streams out of his mind, so I decided to try and keep each stream continuous. The last half of the book is made up of all double page spreads which if you’re crazy enough to buy multiple copies can actually be viewed as one long image. As the streams go on, each one come to an end until there is only one stream, and then we’re brought back to the “real” word. This was a lot of fun to do, but also quite challenging. In the end I think it’s worth it, and I hope you all enjoy the issue. Happy New Years folks!
EDIT: Just wanted to say, that being able to put all the spreads together was meant to be more of an easter egg to astute readers. The book can be read with each spread normally.

Mike Del Mundo’s XML covers have been spot on.
