Deserves his own thread. Interview here with some of his art.

Great choice, Mel.
Ansin's work is far from the ordinary and, I think the absolute BEST of this new breed of poster print artists.
Man, his work is something else.

I finally took the plunge and forked out for his print of Moon on the secondary market (the variant, which has the silver moon). Cost a few £ but it was worth it, absolutely beautiful. I'm gonna get it framed up this year I reckon.

Sorry, but I gotta respectfully disagree with you on that one. The real movie poster blows the Mondo poster away.

I have 'em both and prefer the Ansin print 'in the flesh'...just little things like the typography of the Moon title and the matt black over the glossy black of the film poster.

I think Ansin's print was based on an unused poster, here they are:

I bet the Ansin print is better .. but because its based on other artwork .. i dont look at it the same way .. So because of that I will probably never own one .. But his other stuffz is awesomeness!

Metropolis prints hands down the best.

FYI, print peeps and Ansin fans.

Martin just informed me that a few personal copies of the Mummy print will be available next Monday Oct. 17 at postersandtoys.com.

There will only be a few copies, but the Standard, Variant and Wood versions will be available. They'll announce the sale opening on Monday on twitter at http://twitter.com/#!/Postersandtoys and http://twitter.com/#!/martinansin.

Just thought I'll keep you posted just in case!

Black Lagoon next please.

Silver Metropolis still takes the cake, IMO.

Silver Bride and metallic Phantom are right there at the top, and by far.

I'm missing 3 that I don't really care for... reg Metropolis (sorry Ben, I think the gold is way better), variant Moon (bah!) and reg Scott Pilgrim (shitty movie, I'll stick to the variant). If I see the reg Metropolis at a price I like, I may go for it, but I'm in not hurry.

brude · « **Reply #14 on:** December 30, 2011, 03:42:34 PM »

I'm really digging that DRACULA.
I really like the line work in Lugosi's face.

Under The Floorboards · « **Reply #15 on:** December 31, 2011, 07:45:03 AM »

I think the Dracula will creep up in price, but not before it takes a slight dip. The Wolfman was the same.
I'm loving the Dracula print, if I can get a variant I'll be very happy, biggest regret was selling my bronze Bride print wish I had kept both.
Siding with the silver Metropolis. I have both, the silver version stands out better and the glow in the dark is fantastic. I know the gold image is closer to the robot colour but as it was a BW film it fits better for me.
My signed Space Seed made it onto his blog!

Did you even watch Scott Pilgrim?

I bit the bullet and bought a Dracula regular the other day on ebay for $160 .. Not a bad price IMO .. but I really hate paying the secondary market prices

Now I jsut need to find a good deal or trade for the variant!

Bride of Frankenstein: $1.2k

It's out of control.

That sucks .. Ive been wanting a variant to go with my regular Bride

theartofmovieposters · « **Reply #24 on:** March 21, 2012, 10:45:13 PM »

Of all the artists to do these types of prints, I think he is by far the most talented, and if any were to retain or increase in value, I would expect them to be his prints.

I don't get the STOUT love, but it is all in the eye of the beholder I guess.
