Dropping sometimes today, August 11th, is two new prints from Mondotees. “Invisible Man” by Kevin Tong, which is a 24 x 36″ screenprint, signed and numbered in an edition of 285, and “The Mummy” by Martin Ansin, which is also a 24″ x 36″ screenprint in a signed edition of 285, and there is a snazzy variant edition that’s in an edition of 150. These prints will drop randomly today, and like all Mondotees prints should sell out in seconds.

“The Road to Shermer: A Tribute to John Hughes” @ Gallery 1988
Gallery 1988 in Venice opened a new group show this past Friday, February 11th. “The Road to Shermer: A Tribute to John Hughes” features original art and prints from an impressive list of artists, and will be run until March 4th. All of your favorite John Hughes movies have been reinterpreted by such artists as Aaron Jasinski, Audrey Pongracz, Augie Pagan, Ben Walker, Brandon Sopinsky, Chris Tezber, Dave MacDowell, Israel Sanchez, Jesse Riggle, Kelly Vivanco, Kevin Tong, Munk One, N.C. Winters, Nicole Guice, Rich Pellegrino, and many more. I’m not the biggest fan of theme shows like this, but this is a good one. There is so much material to work from when it comes to Hughes’ movies, and these artists did a killer job. I really like what Aaron Jasinski, Rich Pellegrino, N.C. Winters, and of course Dave MacDowell who has been using Hughes and inspiration for years. The prints also look great, Derek Deal created an amazing Planes, Trains, and Automobiles print.

“Sex Bob-Omb”, Scott Pilgrim poster by Kevin Tong
Last night a friend dragged me to a screening of the new Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World movie. I barely knew what the movie was about, as I tend to be locked away from the rest of the world for too long, but I checked it out anyway. I have to say the movie was pretty amazing. There was some great action sequences, 8-bit music, and it was directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz). Oni Press, that put out the original books, got Daniel Danger, Kevin Tong, Aesthetic Apparatus, and Hellen Jo to make posters based on the fictional bands that were in the movie. Most of the posters were sold during the Comic Con, but Kevin Tong has just added some of his “Sex Bob-Omb” posters to his online shop. The posters are 18″ x 24″, 4 color screen-prints, regular ink limited to 400 and metallic ink is limited to 600. Each print is signed and numbered for only $20 each. See the process and background info of these prints here.
