Postcards to Alphaville is a very cool project consisting of illustrated postcards of characters from films. The postcards are by guest illustrators who chose a film and then were required to portray one character from that film. The project, according to founder Paul Paper “is [a] love-letter to films and those characters that brings us, the viewers, moments of joy, sorrow and revelation and sometimes seems more real than the neighbor next-door.”
It is so much fun to choose a film from the list and find out which character the illustrator chose to portray. Below are some of my favorite illustrations but there are many more to see on the project’s website. I love how each illustration is so different from the others. Some are more like sketches while others are more like paintings or charcoal drawings. Way too difficult to try and pick a favorite one! :)
