Posters: Planet of the Apes Vector Tribute


Prints available for purchase from Hero Compex Gallery. US$40
"I have always been a fan of the original Planet of the Apes.  So much so that I couldn't help myself and decided to pay tribute with a vector pop-deco, to the new Dawn of the Planet of the Apes by Director Matt Reeves which is scheduled to release July 11th, 2014.  Cheers and enjoy~

"Being a long time fan of the Planet of the Apes franchise, and anxious for the new prequel directed by Matt Reeves, I was heavily influenced by the arresting stare of the main character Caesar. His deep foreboding gaze, those prying, intelligent eyes of a leader struggling for a possible future for his species.

I wanted to capture the heat, the intensity and brilliance of the sun – giver and taker of all life and portray Caesar as the center of this new “Dawn.” Creatively, I found a connection between the dramatic conflict of the storyline and the associated contemporary themes ( ie. violence, motion, technology) portrayed in early 20th Century Futurist paintings and incorporated them into my vector tribute titled “Coronation of Caesar”."
