60's Dexter and Stickman

Just a couple of things that caught my attention this week. First up are these incredible Saul Bass inspired retro titles for Dexter by Ty Mattson. This completely captures the Harry Palmer Ipcress Files style I've always thought the Dexter titles was going for. 

Here are those Ipcress Files titles - notice the similarities especially in John Barry's incredible score.

Next up is Draw a Stick Man.

Back For The Future

Looks like Doc Brown has been out in the Delorean again! Here are couple of recent adverts featuring the Back To The Future franchise. 

Still no power laces. Looks like we'll still have to wait until 2015 before we get those and hoverboards.

Although I can't afford a pair of those shoes myself I do hope that they raise a lot of money for The Michael J Fox Foundation. It's great to see Michael and to hear Alan Silvestri's awesome theme again. It still gives me the chills even now.
