Reality

Minimalist Posters






These are some of the fantastic minimalist posters made for various movies by Ibraheem Youssef, Jamie Bolton, and Olly Moss. Most of the time, I liked them even better then the original. To see more, you can look at the original list or the artist's page.

The Molten Core

This world is hard. It has sharp edges and points that cut. It'll make you choose between love, money and sleep. Choose love each time and sleep when you can, money - only when you must.

Because this world is hard. And at times, it is too hard, for me.

Memories of You

Even now I still remember the walks through the park and the laughter as we flung leaves at one another. Now I walk by myself in that red hat you always liked and wonder how it would have been if things had gone differently.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Build therefore your own world. As fast as you conform your life to the pure idea in your mind, that will unfold its great proportions. A correspondent revolution in things will attend the influx of the spirit. So fast will disagreeable appearances, swine, spiders, snakes, pests, mad-houses, prisons, enemies, vanish; they are temporary and shall be no more seen. The sordor and filths of nature, the sun shall dry up and the wind exhale. As when the summer comes from the south and the snow-banks melt and the face of the earth becomes green before it, so shall the advancing spirit create its ornaments along its path, and carry with it the beauty it visits and the song which enchants it; it shall draw beautiful faces, warm hearts, wise discourse, and heroic acts, around its way, until evil is no more seen.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Arrows

See, how strong love overwhelms us
See, how it wounds and destroys
And yet when Aphrodite wants to soothe me, nothing soothes as love does
So, my love, shoot me gently
Barely break my skin with your terrible arrows
-Unknown

Undisclosed Desires

I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Soft Light

May the soft light of the city carry you home.

Out of Sight

“It’s like seeing someone for the first time, and you look at each other for a few seconds, and there’s this kind of recognition like you both know something. Next moment the person’s gone, and it’s too late to do anything about it. And you always remember it because it was there and you let it go and you think to yourself what if I’d stopped, what if I’d said something, what if.”
~George Clooney, Out Of Sight
