Breaking Bad Screen Print #11 - The Cousins by Jeff Boyes

Breaking Gifs Limited Edition Breaking Bad Screen Prints - The Cousins by Jeff Boyes

The Cousins” by Jeff Boyes is the eleventh screen print in the Breaking Bad Alternate Reality Game Series released in honor of the hit AMC television show Breaking Bad’s fifth and final season. This week’s print features two of the show’s baddest characters, Leonel and Marco Salamanca aka The Cousins. Why these twin hitmen are nicknamed The Cousins and not The Twins is anyone’s guess, but they are the cousins of both Tuco and Hector Salamanca. While not my favorite characters, their silent brooding definitely left an indelible mark on the show.

Jeff Boyes’s limited edition Breaking Bad screen print “The Cousins” measures 18”x24”, has a run size of 300 pieces (only 200 available for purchase) and comes hand signed and numbered by the artist. The print will retail for $50 each and could have been purchased here but it sold out immediately upon release earlier today.

To celebrate and honor the fifth and final season of Breaking Bad, 16 of the top artists and graphic designers have been commissioned to create screenprints depicting some of the series' most memorable scenes, characters and shocking moments for Gallery1988 and its Breaking Bad ARG, Breaking Gifs. These screenprints are hand-pulled, each its own individual work of art, in an edition of just 300, with only 200 available to the public through this project. Once the edition is sold out, they will never be printed again.
