Empire Magazine: Noma Bar Illustrations

Being a regular reader of Empire magazine I'd seen these illustrations every month in front of the home Review section, but now that there's a feature on them on the Empire website, it just gave me an excuse to talk about them.

Admittedly, I didn't know that they were all by Noma Bar as they just sort of appeared in Empire one month - I thought the art department at Empire had created them because of all the plot references in the images. All of them are charming though and the use of negative space is inspiring (if frustratingly brilliant).

Selection of the illustrations:

The Avengers: Loki what Bar did with the Avengers!

Citizen Kane: As lovely as Rosebud

My favourite? It has to be Jaws, with the Blu-ray logo for an eye and a droopy, loveable smile that reveals itself to be a face - beautiful and amazingly clever!

The full selection can be found on Empire's website.
