Movie Trailer - Knight and Day

In the upcoming Knight and Day Tom Cruise plays a super spy who takes Cameron Diaz on a worldwide journey in this adventurous action comedy. Who wouldn't want to go and see a movie with men wearing dark sunglasses, driving black cars. Let the ride begin...

Movie Trailer - Inception

Movie Trailer - The A Team

Movie Trailer - Sherlock Holmes

From Robin Hood it's not a such a huge step over to another legendary hero: Sherlock holmes. Now the foggy streets of Victorian London has been brought to life again, starring Robert Downey Jr as the detective who makes even the most complex puzzles "elementary" through logical reasoning.

I'm really looking forward to once again visiting Baker Street and the most brilliant detective of all, accompanied by his "dear Watson".

The movie was released two weeks ago.

From the Sketchbook - Whitney Houston

Movie Trailer - Hot Tub Time Machine

A new year but also a new decade. New Year's Eve is for many a time to sum up the past and peer into an unknown future. But what if you could go back 24 years and change that future (the coming present). This is the idea behind the upcoming comedy Hot Tub Time Machine.


What better way to start 2010? Let's dive in!

Movie Trailer - Alice In Wonderland by Tim Burton

Hope you all had a great Christmas.

Let's continue with yet another really fascinating trailer. This time it's Tim Burton's adaption of Lewis Carroll's classic novel. One that I have read and reviewed here at Fantasytree: Alice in Wonderland.

While at my parents' place I realized that the "standard" trailer size is better for some browsers. Let me know if you prefer the large (720 pixel) one. This standard one is 450:

Hi-Quality Movie Trailers At Fantasytree!

Today I want to apologize to my readers. The reason is that I have been neglecting the movie category here at Fantasytree far too long, with an emphasis on fantasy (and my own) art. I am also aware that so far the most popular post is the one about the 10 Most Popular Fantasy Movies. Not very clever, since I'm constantly trying to improve this blog and make it more interesting to follow.

But - this will change from now on! Regard it a New Year's resolution from me that I will do my best to regularly post interesting fantasy-related movie trailers here as well. I just found the great site traileraddict.com, making it really easy to post hi-quality movie trailers.

I hope you will enjoy these trailers and this continually evolving blog even more from now on.

Enough talk. Let's start with the trailer for the follow-up on the Marvel classic Iron Man, shall we? Here is Iron Man 2:

Finshed Drawing - Elvis Presley Portrait

Yesterday I mentioned that I had finished a drawing project. Today I can reveal that it was an Elvis drawing for my mother. Drawn with a Derwent Graphic, a 0.7 and a 0.5 mechanical pencil (HB) from a photo by Bettman/Corbis this is what it looked like. Scanned it before handing it over to my mum yesterday:

The next sketch for the Sketchstorm thread was drawn from an album cover. According to one of my favorite sites, rateyourmusic.com this is the best recorded album ever. Indeed, The Beatles Revolver does include many gems.This is just a rough, simplified version of the remarkable original artwork.

Drawn with a HB pencil on ordinary sketchbook paper. No eraser has been used as you can tell:

Sketch Of The Day - Catherine Zeta-Jones?

A pen sketch that was supposed to look like Catherine Zeta-Jones (from a scene in "Traffic") but that I managed to mess up along the way. Anyway, it was a fun challenge.
