The Beautiful Losers Film

Blosers

This is the poster for the Beautiful Losers documentary coming out soon. It was designed by Keith Scharwath and the typeface was by Geoff McFetridge. The film is premiering at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, in March.

If you haven't heard of Beautiful Losers it's a book and exhibition that was created a couple of years ago featuring the artists mentioned in the poster. You can read a whole chunk more about it here if your intrigue has been tweaked.
