Wild in the Streets 1968

Robert Peak made this movie poster for "Wild in the Streets" using ink and gouache with a pretty limited palette of reds, whites, and blues. He goes straight for the jugular; no messing around! There's this real sense of urgency, a kind of punk energy, that reminds me of Raymond Pettibon, but with that mid-century commercial art vibe. Peak’s rendering style is loose and expressive. It’s like he’s channeling the chaos of the film directly onto the paper. Look at those frantic lines around the faces, all that raw, visceral energy. It's not about perfection; it's about capturing a feeling, a vibe. The way he uses color, those bold strokes of red against the stark white, it's like a visual scream. This piece lives in that sweet spot where art meets propaganda, blurring the line between the real and the imagined. It’s all about power, rebellion, and the wild, untamed spirit of youth.
