MondoCon Exclusive Black Swan Screen Print by Sam Wolfe Connelly

MondoCon 2015 Exclusive Black Swan Screen Print by Sam Wolfe Connelly

MondoCon 2015 will be an epic celebration of Darren Aronofsky’s 2010 film Black Swan and Clint Mansell’s fantastic score of the film. Throughout the weekend (October 3-4), Mondo will be releasing the Black Swan soundtrack on vinyl for the very first time! To commemorate this release, MondoCon will be hosting a free afternoon screening of the film on Sunday, October 4th with a discussion of the film's music with Critic and Composer Brian Satterwhite. But that’s not all! Mondo will also be releasing a killer MondoCon exclusive Black Swan screen print by Sam Wolfe Connelly.

MondoCon 2015 Exclusive Black Swan Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Cover Artwork by Sam Wolfe Connelly

Mansell's score for Aronofsky's Black Swan is a unique creature in itself. For the film, Mansell adapted Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's iconic Swan Lake and deconstructed it into a modern film score for a twisted fairy tale. Purists may cringe at the idea of modifying Tchaikovsky's seminal work, but it honestly resulted in one of the most unique and resonant film scores of the last 10 years, and easily one of the most remarkable examples of music adaptation in film to date.

MondoCon 2015 Exclusive Black Swan Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Cover Artwork by Sam Wolfe Connelly

Black Swan by Sam Wolfe Connelly is a 16”x24” hand numbered screen print limited to just 225 pieces. The Black Swan Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Clint Mansell is being released as a 2xLP and features artwork by Sam Wolfe Connelly. Disc 1 is pressed on 180 Gram Clear Vinyl with White swirl, while Disc 2 is pressed on 180 Gram Clear Vinyl with Blue and Black Swirl. It will also be available on 2xLP 180 Gram Black Vinyl.

Mad Max “Director's Chair with George Miller” Screen Print by Tim Doyle x Joshua Budich x El Ray

Mad Max Fury Road “Director's Chair with George Miller” Screen Print by Tim Doyle x Joshua Budich x El Ray

The El Ray network, whose offices are literally on the same street as the Nakatomi Print Labs, has commissioned artists Tim Doyle and Joshua Budich to produce a print for the George Miller episode of their acclaimed Director's Chair television series! The Blot is a huge sucker for collab prints, and this is the very first time Doyle and Budich (two of my favorite artists) have worked together on a design.

Doyle explained on his newsletter how this awesome collaboration came about: “El Rey/Troublemaker Studios all around graphics/art guy, Kurt Volk, came to me a few months back about producing a series of prints for their upcoming Director's Chair series. I personally was super-slammed with work, so I called on Josh Budich to handle the first couple of releases in the series. But when I saw that George Miller was next in line, I made sure I got my mitts on this one, and I was super-happy when Budich agreed to collaborate with me on the print! I drew the car and its passengers, and Josh KILLED that portrait of the man himself! This whole project was art directed by Robert Rodriguez, which is a weird honor to be getting notes from RR!”

“Director's Chair with George Miller” by Tim Doyle and Joshua Budich is an 18”x24” signed and numbered 4 color El Ray screen print. Limited to 350 pieces, a very limited number of prints are currently available for purchase at the Nakatomi online store for just $30.

Nosferatu Screen Print by Timothy Pittides

Nosferatu Dawn Edition Screen Print by Timothy Pittides

Artist Timothy Pittides and Bottleneck Gallery are teaming up to release a killer new movie poster screen print for the iconic vampire film, Nosferatu! When talking about this exciting new movie poster, Pittides explained, “When I decided to tackle Nosferatu, I wanted to make sure that it was something different. There is so many great prints and posters done for the film that hit their mark. From Ken Taylor's beautiful art deco styled collage, Brandon Schaefer's artistically crafted creepiness to Christopher Cox's likeness driven design, artists have been paying a great tribute to arguably the greatest horror film ever made. I first started with making the vampire was represented, not just in likeness but in tone, taking the design on cover of the vampire book Hutter finds in his room at the inn.”

Nosferatu Dusk Edition Screen Print by Timothy Pittides

Nosferatu by Timothy Pittides is an 18”x24” hand numbered screen print. This design will be released in two very cool editions: Dawn and Dusk, both limited to just 40 pieces each and will retail for $35 each. The Dawn Edition is printed on French Speckletone Kraft paper, while the Dusk Edition is printed on French Carbon Copy Krafttone paper and features metallic silver ink. Timothy provided some really cool background info on the two editions: “I decided the film could be represented two different ways, the speckletone kraft being used for its antique look as well as the look of day scenes in the colorized version of the film and the carbon copy paper for its specks of browns and reds and of course representing the black and white of the original film. This two choices give people the choice on how they feel personally to the film.”

Both Nosferatu editions go on sale at noon EDT this Wednesday, September 2nd, at the Bottleneck Gallery online store.

Iron Man Screen Print by Grzegorz Domaradzki

Iron Man Regular Edition Screen Print by Grzegorz Domaradzki

Our friends at Grey Matter Art are seriously not messing around with their recently acquired Marvel license! Every other week now they’re releasing an absolutely killer Marvel movie poster. For their next release, GMA is teaming with Grzegorz Domaradzki (aka Gabz) to release a screen print for the Marvel Movie that started it all…Iron Man! For this beautiful poster, Grey Matter Art is releasing three fantastic editions: Regular, Variant and an epic Gold Foil Variant.

Iron Man Variant Screen Print by Grzegorz Domaradzki

Iron Man by Gabz is a 24”x36” Marvel screen print. The Regular Edition is limited to 225 pieces and will retail for $50, while the Variant is limited to 175 pieces and will retail for $70. The Gold Foil Variant is limited to 125 pieces and will retail for $100. All three editions go on sale this Wednesday, September 2nd, at the Grey Matter Art online store between 1-2pm EDT.

Iron Man GOld Foil Variant Screen Print by Grzegorz Domaradzki

The Blot especially loved hearing from Grzegorz Domaradzki how this print came about: “When growing up I was a huge comic book fan, reading everything comics related I could get my hands on (which, in Eastern Europe wasn't as easy as one might think). I used to copy my favourite artists and draw my own stories. Back in the day working for comic giant such as Marvel seemed like an impossible dream, so as soon as I heard the GMA guys are getting the license for Marvel films, I had a number of titles I wanted to tackle.

I was thrilled and excited to work on Jon Favreau’s: Iron Man, by far my favourite and best Marvel film (next to The Guardians of the Galaxy). I enjoy it greatly every time I see it. I wanted the composition to reflect the conflict between good and evil by dividing the canvas into two parts. Since I was always drawn towards villains in those type of movies I decided to build the composition around Obadiah’s sinister headshot (one cannot really dislike The Dude). It wouldn't be a complete Iron Man poster without Tony Stark, Pepper Potts and Iron Man's classic pose. I hope the fans of the movie will appreciate it. I know for sure I had a blast doing it and I’m very happy with cleverly used foil this time around.”
