Are you talking about my collection? I think the "show off" was addressed to me. If so, thanks. Yeah, it's a work in progress, even though I've slowed down a lot. Most of the stuff out there doesn't interest me anymore. There is too much. When I started collecting prints, around 2008, Mondo was it. Now everybody is doing it and the output is poor. The old masters (
), Ansin, Stout, Moss are not as productive as they used to and what they deliver is not as good (I'm talking to you, Martin). I still buy a few things, some of which I have posted here, but except for a few rare pieces, like Durieux' beautiful Days of Heaven var., A Clockwork Orange var., or Tobin's Jaws var. (my fav by far) nothing too exciting.

I agree with you there all the way. I have been collecting screen prints from late 2009 and on last count I had 235 mondo prints and about 250 movie screen prints from other sources like Castro Theatre (O'daniel), Cinema Overdrive and other indie stuff, but I have also slowed down a lot this year and I have probably only bought about 5 Mondo posters all year - their stuff is just not been doing it for me this year. It's a shame, especially as Mondo got me into it - and now getting me out of it! I now only really collect still Stouts, the odd Ansin (when he brings one out I like) and L Duriex . I think Bottleneck have been doing better stuff this year - especially with Stout stuff. Love the recent Fantastic Mr Fox they did.
FYI, the first few Mondo prints I bought was Stout's "Hell Ride", Tomer Hanuka's "Warrior", Basket Case designed by Alex Pardee and IRON MAN 2 - by Mike Saputo (and all if I remember rightly was hanging around on Mondo page for ages). I just missed out on the early Stout stuff (my big ISO's) like Blade Runner, BTILC ,Big Lebowski etc.(maybe one day when I'm rich i will be able to afford them!!).
I've sold over the last couple of years about a third of my Mondo collection and gonna sell a chunk more yet.
