Did anyone get in on the Englert subscriptions? My mail/notifications were all a day behind so needless to say the drop caught me off guard.

Pretty cool Ghostbusters print from Gallery 1988. I was thinking about driving up to NYC to get a few of these but then common sense prevailed:

Expresso Beans has a bazillion post thread about these here:

Not impressed.

I have yet to see a single print I like.

Quantity is winning the war vs. Quality in the Mondo/print world these days. Really sad.

Agreed. It's like everybody and their grandma is doing prints nowadays. Talent is out the window. What amazes me, though, is that it still sells and the Ebay scavengers still go for a quick profit.

'Quality' is entirely subjective - there are hundreds of posters that are released every year that I don't like, but I'm glad for the choice personally.

Some nice "recreation" prints being displayed in a museum "near" my office:

"Between 1938 and 1941 the WPA Federal Poster Project printed silkscreen prints for just 14 National Parks before being terminated by WWII. By 1950 most of these approximately 700 (estimated 50 copies each) poster prints had disappeared into history."

Sold here:

So much better than anything Mondo!!!

Glad to see some people still value quality.

Where is the variant, though? Already sold out?

Yes, I like it a lot...the teeth on the portcullis, the typography of the title and credits, the scope of the ruins - a really good looking print.

The variant went really quick (only a run of 50), but I think the reg colours look sharper to me? My only grumble is that I wish it were bigger, but I think it's due to his technique (scratchboard and ink).

He has released one print with Mondo...hopefully they will pair him with a better license as I think he is a really talented artist

wonka · « **Reply #765 on:** June 06, 2014, 11:48:27 AM »

Just beautiful work...fantastic stuff.

Tried for over ten minutes to score a regular as they were held up in other carts. Fortunately one just fell in my lap.

Reg > Variant, IMO...

Pumped.

Those are nice, but I've never been a fan of the flick.

That is a neat image for Where the Wild Things Are, but is a very poor representation of the film.

On a side note, I see that Mel has disassociated his images from, I'm guessing, all of the threads on APF, which is a rather dick move of the 'I'm taking my ball and going home' variety....

I can't do it. $30 shipping for a 18x24in print, I just can't. I hate it when people make money out of shipping.

They aren't though.

From EB:

Hey all,

We just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported this first release. It has been one hell of a ride, and it makes us very excited about the future.

So thank you.

And more than anything, we're very proud to have helped to make Nicolas Delort's incredible work known to an even wider audience and we very much look forward to working with him again.

To address a couple of things that have been raised here: the prints will be posted in nice and sturdy tubes, wrapped in kraft paper, covered with acid free white tissue paper and rolled tighter than the tube so the print has a bit of give in case of dents to the tube in transport.

We are sorry that so many of you feel you have had to pay over the odds for shipping, but the £17/£20 pays for the shipping with a tracking number and signature upon delivery plus the cost of the packing materials (we're actually losing a little bit on those) - we are not charging a penny for handling. The cheaper alternative (untracked, unsigned) would open us up to fraud or might mean you are left without your print and without your money, both of which are, we hope you'll agree, unacceptable. Still, we're very grateful that so many of you have opted to purchase the prints despite being used to lower prices.

So again, a heartfelt thank you to all of you!

All the best,
Black Dragon Press HQ

As Wonka says, it's actually less than cost.

International customers pay $32 for every Mondo order for a slower service.

Tob..These are so beautiful. Really. What a great interpretation of a great film.

eatbrie · « **Reply #771 on:** June 09, 2014, 10:40:13 PM »

Thanks Tob and Ben for the info. I ended up getting one after reading your comments. I'm truly amazed at what postal services around the world charge these days. Ridiculous, imo.

I looked at these, too.

20 GB pounds for shipping?!? That's nuts!

Ari · « **Reply #773 on:** June 09, 2014, 10:51:16 PM »

Please note. Part of the reason for higher shipping into USA is because WE have to pay YOU to do extra security checks.
At least coming from Australia this is the case.
