Mondo is heading out to LA next week for two big events!
Friday November 20th at Gallery 1988, Mondo will be setting up shop for the night with lots of our friends providing live art. Skinner will be on hand watercoloring a limited edition Medusa art print we printed special for this show. Kevin Tong will have a new art print for sale (just got that image in and it looks incredible) and Harry Diaz will be screen printing shirts and prints by hand live in the store! Not only will all of these guys be hanging out, but Mondo will also have shirts, toys, and some exclusive and never before seen posters that we printed especially for this show.
The next day, we will have a table at DesignerCon at the Pasadena Convention Center. Once again, lots of exclusive posters and brand new releases. If you’re a fan of Mondo, definitely come and hang out with us next weekend!
Back with a beautiful addition to the poster series is Austin’s own, Todd Slater. Not only did Todd capture Milton’s likeness only minutes after he set fire to Inotech, but he did it completely out of office supplies!
Poster by Todd Slater. 18″x24″ screen print. Signed and numbered by the artist. Printed by D&L Screen Printing with metallic inks on black art paper. Edition of 200.
Mike Budai makes his feature debut with this gorgeous screen print for THE NEVERENDING STORY.
Poster by Mike Budai. 12″x24″ screen print. Signed and numbered by the artist. Edition of 95.
We’ve also restocked our popular Medusa shirts by Skinner. These shirts now feature Medusa with glowing eyes just like the Medusa’s stare scene in CLASH OF THE TITANS. These are on sale now!
Lots of new stuff for sale today. Let’s get right into it!
When we had the idea to create a poster for STREET TRASH, we knew we needed someone that was 1. a fan of the horror genre and 2. someone that could tackle the imagery and color palette of the film. So, who better to do it than Rue Morgue artist Ghoulish Garry Pullin?! Raise your Tenafly high and salute this poster!
Ghoulish Garry Pullin. 24″x”36″ screen print. Hand numbered. Printed by D&L Screen Printing. Edition of 70.
Not only are we putting the STREET TRASH poster out today, we’re putting out this incredible shirt! Check out the back:
We are so proud to offer this shirt celebrating one of the grimiest movies EVER to come out of New York….therefore putting it in the running for grimiest movie in the world! The front of the shirt features the aftermath of a shot of Tenafly Viper expertly illustrated by Jon Vermilyea.
We’re also proud to be releasing this new shirt…STORMS WARNING!
Thunder, Lightning and Rain…THE THREE STORMS. Without a doubt, the hardest dudes in the Chinatown underworld. The only one more diabolic is the dark, all seeing overlord trapped in time searching for his true love that can bring him back to youthful prominence.
This year, a movie played at Fantastic Fest that did what dozens of other movies tried to do, but ultimately failed…THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL is a movie that harkens back to the days of when movies were released on those little plastic rectangles. Ti West made a movie that delivers the goods and I’m ecstatic that it is opening at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar tomorrow.Check out the trailer:
Oh and by the way, it stars exploitation legends Mary Woronov and Tom Noonan! Check out tickets and showtimes HERE.
We are packed with cool new products for sale today. If you weren’t in Austin for Fantastic Fest, now is your chance to grab these goodies!
Tonight, we are having our first ever live screen printing show called HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER with artist Jon Vermilyea in attendance. We will be letting people design their own t-shirts in store and decided that we would extend the offer to our online fanbase as well. Below is a preview of what you can expect at the show!
Mix and match the monster heads and bodies to create your own one of a kind t-shirt. This is only going to be available until 9:30pm CST, so don’t let this chance slip by!
Next up is the GORGEOUS David D’Andrea ANTICHRIST poster that was made specially for Fantastic Fest 2009 this year.
Poster by David D’ Andrea. 12″x26″ screen print. $30 Edition of 100.
Ken Taylor is back with his take on Medusa from CLASH OF THE TITANS!
Poster by Ken Taylor. 24″x36″ screen print. $30 Edition of 110.
We also have the Medusa’s stare variant with glow in the dark eyes and teeth for $55. Edition of 40.
To go along with the poster, Skinner has produced this CRAZY Medusa shirt. He had emailed me about doing it and then a few days later I got a painting in the mail from him with the artwork! This shirt is printed on a super soft ringspun t-shirt. Available on a black and creme shirt.
Mondo is proud to present the newest entry into our movie shirt line, the I Massacre Texas shirt!
We get requests for Texas themed shirts all of the time and didn’t want to do the typical reworking of the KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD logo, so we went and aped that famous recalled JASON TAKES MANHATTAN poster and replaced Jason with Texas’ own maniacal serial killer.
Don’t give New York all of your love, buy your I Massacre Texas shirt now in BLACK or WHITE.

If you don’t know yet, Mishka x Lamour Supreme x Mondo are releasing one ring to rule them all at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. That ring would be THE RING OF THE DEMON SCOURGE!
Last time I did a post, I took you halfway through the process of creating the severed fingers that these bad boys would be housed on. We left off with Meredith pouring molten clay into the alginate mold of my hand. After she allowed the clay to cool, she popped it out and she got this to work on:
If you’ve never high fived me or shook my hand and don’t what my hand looks like, I’ll tell you this…this is exact! When I showed my Mom these pics, she got all Mom on me and said, “Oh Justin. What if you sell these fingers and someone kills someone and uses the fingerprints on them to frame you. You’d be in so much trouble.” I was all like, “Oh Mom. Come on. They couldn’t do that.” When I went to pick these up the first thing Meredith said was, “Oh before I forget, I scraped your fingerprints from all the fingers so nobody could use your fingerprints and frame you.” WHAT?! That’s crazy! So, I guess everyone take this as a lesson. If you ever get your hands molded, have the artist scrape your prints and for god’s sake, LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS! I learned nothing from Mr. T apparently. So, sorry Mom. You were right.
After Meredith scraped my prints clean, she cut my fingers off proper!
See how the middle three kinda look like avocados with the pits dug out and the ring and pinky look normal with the fingernail. Well, we decided to go all out and pour resin for the fingernails so it would be more realistic. Neither Mishka nor Mondo skimp! Once Meredith fixed any imperfections that might have happened when she poured the clay, she made silicone molds of my fingers. Before she pours the silicone she needed to suspend the fingers in mid air in the center of the cups. She wouldn’t tell me how she did it. A magician never reveal their secrets I guess (fuck you FOX):
Shen then pours silicone around the fingers to make the final mold:
When the silicone mold cures, she gets wild and starts pouring the actual fingers.
YEAH! Oh man! When I got the call that they were done and I could come over and take a gander, I really lost it. When I arrived, here is what they had waiting for me…nail included!
And that’s all you get until the third and final chapter when we announce where at Comic Con you can buy these and when we show you final pics of the ring and finger packaging! Until then, wipe up your DROOOOOOOL!
