Olly Moss (born January 24, 1987) is an English graphic artist, best known for his reimagining of movie posters. His work is regularly featured in Empire.[1]

Moss was commissioned by Marvel Entertainment executives Craig Kyle and Kevin Feige to create a poster for the cast of Thor.[2] Other notable works include the cover artwork for the Resistance 3 video game,[3] which prompted a trailer to be created in similar style.[4]

He graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2008 having studied literature.[5] Moss is a regular guest on the IGN UK[6] and A Life Well Wasted[7] podcasts.

In September 2013, he and Mark of the Ninja lead designer Nels Anderson joined with former Telltale Games employees Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman to found Campo Santo.[8]
