My friend Randy was kind enough to film the entire Phil Tippett Q&A at last weeks Mondo Mystery Movie. Check out the youtube inbeds below. This thing is amazing…

I love this poster! When we first got them in, I was really impressed at how dense the design was. There is SO MUCH going on and it’s all brought out even more by D&L’s great print job. The variant is packed with metallic inks and the flower glows!

This is my favorite Florian Bertmer poster yet. Check out the pics below and remember that it goes on sale tomorrow!

Jason Edmiston has posted a new print up for sale on his Etsy page called Trophies. You can buy it HERE and below is the image…

Last October, I shot Jason an email about commissions. He is an UNBELIEVABLE painter, so I wanted him to do something for me. Ever since I was little, I had this idea for a painting based on the Planet of the Apes, so I sent him this email….

“So, my idea for the apes painting is one that I’m shocked I’ve never seen done before. I would want you to paint the scene from the movie where you are first introduced to the apes in the corn field. Remember after they kill all of the humans and the three apes take their picture with the pile of dead humans in front of them and they’re all smiling? I LOVE THAT PART. I love that it’s like an old hunting photo. Think you could do that for me? Do you think that would be fun for you? If you want, I could get you reference photos or whatever.”

That was in October of 2010. A few months later, he sent me the above image and I freaked out! The original painting now proudly hangs in the Mondo store, so if you’re in Austin, come check it out. If you’re as big of an Apes fan as I am, grab one of these from Jason while they last!

Tomorrow, August 2nd, we will be offering tickets for the second Mondo Mystery Movie set to go down on Wednesday, August 31st at 7pm at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. Can’t announce a specific time, but tickets will drop around noon CST. You might want to refresh this LINK a bunch around that time.

If you’re not familiar with this show, let me briefly explain. We at Mondo pick a movie that we love and screen it…. the only catch is, we don’t tell anyone what it is until you’re in the theater. It could be new, old, a cartoon… anything that can play on a screen. We also release a poster of the mystery film that you can ONLY get at the screening. Last time, we screened AKIRA and not only had a Tyler Stout poster to go along with it, but had T. Stout in attendance. This time, who knows what will happen. You’ll just have to show up and be surprised. One difference between the first MMM screening and this one is that if you buy a ticket, you will get a poster automatically. The THEY LIVE screening worked very well with the poster/ ticket bundle and we’ll do this with the MMM screenings from now on.

One last thing, here is the write up I did for this MMM. There may or may not be clues in it…. you decide.

We’re all friends here, so let’s be honest… sequels are generally pretty lousy. It’s tough to beat the original, but with what we have planned for the Mondo Mystery Movie: Part 2, we think you’ll agree that the magic is back. Not only are we raising the stakes by dropping this thing into the biggest theater the Alamo has to offer, but we’re also producing a poster that you can ONLY get at this screening. Remember, at the MMM, anything that can happen… will happen.

It was about three months ago and I was driving to the Mondo shop… nothing out of the ordinary. I got a phone call and missed it. Didn’t notice it until later in the day, but it was a number I didn’t recognize. Whoever it was left a voicemail, so I hit play. The message started off with, “Hey Justin. This is Favreau….” It was a surprise for sure and that was the beginning of several conversations about who Jon wanted on the series of posters you see below. We’ve had several director series where we work directly with the director, but this is the first where it was curated by someone other than Mitch, Rob and I. Thanks to Jon for being a really great guy to work with and I hope you all like the end result of all the months of planning and work. The artists did a great job on these!

Anchor Bay reached out to us to do a poster for the new film by Xavier Gens called THE DIVIDE. After watching the film, the first person we thought about putting on the project was the amazing JOCK. This is the first time working with him and trust us, it won’t be the last. Check out the poster….

If you’re attending the special Comic Con screening tonight, you just might be going home with one of these…. okay…. you for sure will be. Everyone that attends will be getting one and definitely let us know how the screening goes tonight if you go!

Mentioned it earlier on Twitter, but we’re going to have a booth for the first time ever at San Diego Comic Con. Booth #433 to be exact. Tell your friends. We found out a little over a week ago that this was happening. I’d be lying if I said that the last week wasn’t stressful getting orders put in and things shipped, but if you stop by the booth next week, I can almost guarantee you won’t be bummed. We’ve got lots of things lined up. Here is a vague list of what will be there.

ARCHIVAL POSTERS

We have a pretty extensive archive. We’ve been saving a small amount of everything back to do a big retrospective show and we decided that since this was SDCC, we’d break the seals on some bags and bring out some choice posters. I think you’ll like what we have to offer.

FREE STUFF

Comic Con wouldn’t be Comic Con without stickers and postcard and just general free stuff. We’ll have this kind of stuff and the sticker we’re giving out will kind of be an announcement in itself. It features one of our favorite artists drawing a character from the license we picked up earlier this year. One of my favorite movies and I’m excited to get working on it. You’ll be excited…. I hope.

NEW STUFF

This could get crazy. We won’t be having any advanced sales online or whatever, so this will all be sold at the booth. As of now, we will have two releases a day. One in the AM and one in the PM. We won’t be announcing anything beforehand and won’t be announcing times. It will all be random like our online stuff. Watch Twitter to find out when stuff goes on sale. Mixed in, we’ll have three artist signings. I’m pretty excited about the stuff we’re bringing. All new. All great by some of our biggest artists. Oh, we’ll also have a new shirt! I’m going to wear it like every day. Based off of one of my favorite 90′s logos.

I want to meet a lot of you. Me, Jessica, Rob Jones and Zack Carlson from the Alamo will be working, so come say hey. Booth #433 is where we’ll be. Come by and let’s talk about comics and look at all the dudes in Venture Bros. costumes. I want to be there now.

Can’t wait.
