Famous Movie Cars Get The Minimal Poster Treatment From Designer Jesús Prudencio.

above: Can you guess which movies the above vehicles came from? The answer to each is shown in this post

Thanks to Fubiz, I have been introduced to Jesús Prudencio, a graphic artist, web designer and illustrator from Badajoz, currently living in Seville, Spain. A fan of both films and cars, he took it upon himself to create these minimalist posters representing movies by the iconic vehicles within them.

He did leave out a few movies in which the vehicle is the star (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Herbie The Love Bug, and Christine). And I'd love to see him create posters for the following: Bullitt, Risky Business, Thelma and Louise and Driving Miss Daisy.

Perhaps he will get to those in the future.
