The brilliantly geeky movie posters by Harshness – aka Portland artist Nicholas Hyde – were showcased by WIRED<\/a> last year. Nicholas has applied his exquisite minimalist style to many popular fantasy\/sci-fi movies, TV shows and video games such as Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Legend of Zelda and The Lord of the Rings.<\/p>\n

Another great example of Matt Humphrey\u2019s work, this time introducing the members of Thorin\u2019s adventurous Company. Look at that cute little Halfling there, standing next to Gandalf the Grey on the top left of the party. Bilbo would be small, only a child to your eyes.<\/p>\n
