Today Mondo kicks off a four-day stretch of new releases they are excitedly referring to as NICK WEEK! In 1991, Nickelodeon began airing a collection of original animated series known as “Nicktoons”, and if you grew up in the '90s, these shows likely permeated your TV screens just like they did The Blot’s. This week, Mondo will celebrate a few of these seminal shows with posters, pins, and a statue, each featuring artwork by a handful of incredible artists.
To kick things off, Mondo will be celebrating Bikini Bottom’s favorite son, SpongeBob SquarePants, with a fun new poster by Drake Brodahl! This is Mondo’s first time working with Drake and the print turned out fantastic. As Brodahl explained, “Working with Mondo and Nickelodeon on this SpongeBob poster was a dream come true. Mondo is so exciting because they continue to push the medium and redefine the art of the movie poster…. Initially, I worried about how to go about paying proper tribute to SpongeBob because he is such an icon, but then realized the power of his icon allows you freedom to do almost anything!”
SpongeBob SquarePants by Drake Brodahl is an 18”x24” hand numbered screen print. Limited to just 175 pieces, this poster will go on sale at noon 12pm CST today, Tuesday, February 27th, at the Mondo online store for $45.
