Steuso's poster for Linea 77

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 09:32:48 -0400

If you haven’t heard of Linea 77 I would not suggest looking them up. Its Italian Nu Metal. Or maybe that’s your thing. They do have an album called “Ketchup Suicide”. Anyway whatever, unless you have some Italian hipsters over no one is going to give a shit what band this poster is for because its awesome.

3 colors of heavy black paper, edition of 50, 50 x 70 CM for 40 bux.

Kevin Tong's Appleseed Cast poster

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 09:25:56 -0400

So I had no idea the Appleseed Cast still existed (whoops). This is a really choice tour poster though. And there’s an art print edition. For some reason this reminds me of the game Fallout 3.

4 colors on 100# white cover paper, signed and numbered edition of 120, 18” x 24” for 25 bucks.

I’m a little late to the game on this as the exhibit opened on the 25th but there’s still a lot of pieces available. The price on a lot of these is pretty steep but the edition sizes are super tiny (5, 10). So its not like when Audrey Kawasaki does a run of 300 (or 3000) for 200 bucks a piece. :X

Mondo's Sucker Punch poster by Ken Taylor

Thu, 24 Mar 2011 17:00:00 -0400

Just announced via Entertainment Weekly, Mondotees will be doing a poster for the upcoming J-Pop sensation: Sucker Punch. I really want to like this movie but then again I really wanted to like Zack Snyder’s version of the Watchmen too… and that movie made me want to punch a baby.

We’re getting two posters both are 24” x 36”, the original (edition of 285, $45):

And the variant (edition of 105, $70):

I think I’m digging the variant more here.

Electric Wizard print from Steuso

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 12:51:00 -0400

Haven’t heard from Steuso in a while but this new poster for the omnipotent stoner metal group Electric Wizard has got a lot going for it. Namely drug references and skulls and whatnots.

5 colors on heavy natural paper, edition of 70, 50 x 70 (filthy, European) CM for 40 AMERICAN DOLLARS.

Signal Noise "Help Japan" poster

Sun, 13 Mar 2011 22:18:41 -0400

Texting the Red Cross is cool and all but this and Hydro74’s tshirt are really boss and again all the cash money made goes to help Japan (no information on the charity though)

Hydro74's "Army For Japan" tshirt

Sun, 13 Mar 2011 21:59:12 -0400

Joshua Smith (Hydro74) has put up a $20 pre-order for a pretty slick looking tshirt, what’s really excellent though is that 100% of the proceeds go to help folks in Japan via the Salvation Army’s relief efforts.

The Kanji on the shirt translates to “Save World Army”.

Rich Kelly's Vulpes Vulpes

Sun, 13 Mar 2011 21:46:00 -0400

This is sold out (of course) but damn Rich Kelly is continuing to kill it. This print for The Fantastic Mr. Fox is a giclee on soft white cotton stock, 16.5” x 23/5” in an edition of 100.

mcbess on Facebook

Sun, 13 Mar 2011 21:42:00 -0400

For every 1000 likes on Facebook Mcbess is giving away a print. If I had posted this a few days ago it would have been right before the 2000 mark… So now we gotta make it to 3k.

When I stopped blowing all my cash on posters is about the time I stopped getting motivated to update this internet website page. But I paid a whole 10 dollars for this domain name and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to use it! First up is a silly huge post of a bunch of Gigposters.com listings that I’ve been missing

Tyler Stout finishes out Mondo's Star Wars series

Wed, 29 Dec 2010 11:07:00 -0500

Hello again! Its been a long hiatus, and while I contemplate what I want to do with this blog I couldn’t resist posting about this release. Over-all I haven’t really been interested in the Star Wars series that Mondotees has been doing. I think as each artist “inteprets” Star Wars in one way or another it becomes more about their personal style than making a really slick poster that “feels” like the movies. Olly Moss’ trilogy of posters were stunning and came as close as any have to actually capturing that feeling I’m talking about. However the just announced final release of the series from Tyler Stout is fucking mind blowing. Great enough to make me actually update this damn blog!

The news was released via UGO. One poster for each movie in the original trilogy, plus variants of each. Each poster is 24” x 36” and the edition size is 875 standard/325 variant (which I believe must be for each poster and not total which is a massive edition size for Mondo). They are being released New Years eve at a “random” time, Mondo has changed up the way they announce releases so your best bet is to be on their site refreshing like a madman around 11-12 pm EST.

Diftype, wonderful giclées

Sat, 06 Nov 2010 15:03:33 -0400

Thanks to posterwhore.com for this one. Diftype has a small collection of some of the most striking giclée prints I’ve ever seen. From the site:

Each Diftype print is created using the Epson Stylys Pro 9900 with SpectroProofer printed on a premium uncoated paper called Magiclée Verona 250 HD. All prints are hand-signed & numbered. The Diftype verification stamp is put on the backside with the signature and number to verify that it’s authentic. Each print is gently rolled into silk and then put into a Diftype branded tube and made ready for shipping.

Check them out on this internet website right HERE.

Mondotees Update

Mon, 01 Nov 2010 17:27:00 -0400

Haven’t posted about Mondotees in a while, mostly I haven’t caught a release from them before it was long gone. Sort of disappointed with the Star Wars/Trek releases as I feel like those have been sort of lack luster with a few exceptions. However, there are a few prints going onsale tomorrow that look pretty excellent. Particularly a Beetlejuice poster from Rich Kelly (who, at this point I assume, does not ever sleep). These go on sale tomorrow at a “random” time (1 pm EST).

Beetlejuice by Rich Kelly - Hand numbered edition of 150, 18” x 24” for 30 bux HERE.

Four Lions by Olly Moss - Hand numbered edition of 250, 16” x 24” for 30 bux HERE.

Dead Alive by Adam Haynes - Hand numbered edition of 95, 18” x 24” for 30 bux HERE. There is also a variant available HERE.

Iain MacArthur @ Phone Booth Gallery

If peacocks became the new trend in prints, replacing owls, I would be totally cool with that. Nothing against owls but the detail that went into this print is stunning. MacArthur also has some originals on sale from the exhibit, previews of those below the cut.

1 color on 100# Cougar Smooth Cover paper, edition of 50, 18” x 24” for 20 billz here.

The rest of the originals from MacArthur’s exhibit can be seen here.

Another Gigposters.com round-up

Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:08:00 -0400

Whoops! Lack of updates! Don’t know what to say, I’m a shitty blogger? Whatever, as usual the releases have just kept on coming. Here’s a ton of Gigposter’s new arrivals that caught my eye over the past week. In the past I wasn’t doing these sorts of posts but not because I was less lazy, I didn’t want to post stuff that I couldn’t verify for sale. However, there’s just too many great prints out there to ignore even if we’ll never get our hands on them.
