Website of the Week


Think you know a lot about movies? When you think of your favorite movies, what is it that stands out for you? For artist Paul Rogers, it all comes down to the details; his drawings of films illustrate how those details might signify more for one viewer than they do another. On his blog, Rogers boils down each movie to six isolated images, often details peripheral to the action itself, and invites the reader to identify the movie. The images are delightfully retro line drawings in a style reminiscent of Ben Shahn, images that would not be out of place as magazine illustrations from the 1950s. Are you able to figure out which set of illustrations depicts Pulp Fiction? What about Vertigo? Some Like It Hot? It's harder than you might think!
