Vratislav Hlavatý / Czech animator, graphic designer, fine artist /painting/, illustrator and typographer. Author of several award winning posters among his 82 total score. His movie posters were created with extraordinary naive, almost childish innocence, while themes of the movies could tickle serious issues sometimes. His unique visual style has brought him international recognition.
