Breaking Bad Screen Print #15 - Heisenberg by Todd Slater

Breaking Gifs Limited Edition Breaking Bad Screen Prints - Heisenberg by Todd Slater

Heisenberg” by Todd Slater is the fifteenth 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. Todd Slater is actually one of The Blot’s favorite artists, and I loved this scene from the show’s fifth season, but something about this print just feels off to me. I know a lot of times the artists are hamstrung by the subject they’re given to illustrate, but when I heard Slater was doing a Breaking Bad print I was really hoping for some crazy intricate pattern used to create the image of the feared Heisenberg. Regardless, this print sold out in mere seconds thanks to a reveal by Mr. Jesse Pinkman himself, Aaron Paul and his Twitter account!

Todd Slater’s limited edition Breaking Bad screen print “Heisenberg” 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 retailed for $50 each and could have been purchased here before it sold out.

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.
