2014 in prints

[eatbrie]

It has been truly a horrendous year in the world of prints.  I got nothing (that is, compared to years past).  Mondo, the main culprit, has vomited some of the worst artwork since its 2008 heydays.  Thankfully, others stepped up to the plate.  Amongst the few I acquired, here are my favs.

Oh...Nosferatu  and The Birds.

I don't understand  a thing about prints (please forgive my ignorance )  but those two in particular I can certainly  appreciate.  There is an unspoken edge to the poster which I find very unique and  truthful  to the memory I have of these films.

.....i need to get some...

Nice post T .. I had all but been ignoring Mondo .. which bit me on the arse when I recently didnt even know that the final Horkey LOTR print was going up for sale! Now I have to scour the after market for a good "deal" so that I can complete that trypitch, you have a great collection though keep up the good work!

[eatbrie]

Oh yeah, I forgot about it.  I got the Horkey variant.  Not a big Horkey fan, but I did like this one.  I'm so late updating my website.

First print ever: Thanks to Tob for the hook up!!!!!

Artist Matt Taylor describing his poster:

    For my design, I went back to Struzan’s original concept posters - there is a great one with Marty vanishing from the feet up, and as soon as I saw it I knew that I wanted to use it as my starting point. I think PCC and Laurent have closed the book on using the Delorean so I deliberately stayed away from that and focused instead on Marty and his instantly recognisable features. I used the title block from the original poster and stripped out the rest of the type so that the image stood alone on the page. I’m really happy with how it turned out and I hope that the Mondo faithful dig it as well.

Good choices there, T. I agree with most of them.

I'd also add Ghost in the Shell by Martin Ansin. Either the foil (which is very nicely used as opposed to being gimmicky) or the reg. I love the composition and detail, it flows beautifully. The title is great too...one of those optical illusions where it is just a circle of lines up close, but forms the title the further you get.



A few others I liked (Matt Ferguson Guardians of the Galaxy, Laurent Durieux Vertigo and Jock Pan's Labyrinth):

Anytime! I think you'll like it when you see it in the flesh. Vibrant colours and I think it's a clever design (I'm a bit sick of the Delorean!)

Very nice pickups to all. Really like that Ghost in the Shell, Tob!
If I could get some time, I'd post my 2014 pickups as well.

[ddilts399]

Was that Guardians actually printed?

[Tob]

Guardians is 24 x 36 screen print and a run of 150...50 went to cast and crew, 100 are out in the wild.

Jock Pan's Labyrinth:

I like this...A LOT!

Great color and a cool design.   

[Mirosae]

Agree

Ari will disagree. Purple

 

[Ari]

purple is for unicorns and pixies

[erik1925]

There are those couple wing-ed fairy-like creatures on the poster.. so the purple sounds like a win-win!
