When SXSW was cancelled, Mondo sadly also canceled their Godzilla group art show. This celebration of the King of the Monsters will now be released online, with screen prints gradually being released over the next few weeks. Mondo is releasing its third batch of four Godzilla posters today by artists Matt Taylor, Phantom City Creative, Jason Edmiston and Attack Peter! All four movie posters seen here will go on sale at 11am CDT today, Thursday, March 26th, at The Drop on MondoShop.com.
First up is the super rad Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla by Matt Taylor! As Mondo explained, “Matt’s technicolor sensibilities are on full display here for the 1974 film (and fourteenth in Godzilla’s Shōwa era) that sees Godzilla and the awesome King Caesar battle the titanic Mechagodzilla, a robot built by the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens (aka Simians) to destroy Godzilla. As usual, Matt's color palette, composition, and illustration come together to form a stunning poster fit for the king of the monsters.”
Phantom City Creative have created a wonderful movie poster for Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster. This is the film that introduced the world to King Ghidorah, a devastating three-headed, fire breathing monster from space, and one of Godzilla’s most iconic foes. It features Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra against the might of King Ghidorah.
The Blot was super excited to see Jason Edmiston’s Godzilla painting inspired by the King of the Monsters’ appearance from the Heisei era’s Godzilla vs Destoroyah. Mondo stated, “Jason’s artwork, originally an acrylic painting, details a beautifully rendered portrait of Godzilla. Jason’s detailing of the radioactivity emanating within Godzilla is on point, and we’re so happy with how this one turned out.”
Lastly, Mondo is releasing a second poster by Attack Peter for Ebirah, Horror of the Deep! Also known as Godzilla vs The Sea Monster, this film sees Godzilla ally with Mothra to take on Ebirah, a giant crustacean kaiju. Mondo went on to describe this poster: “Peter yet again delivers an awesome illustration of the ensuing battle between the three monsters. This poster has been beautifully printed by Peter and was produced as a linocut print on Lokta paper - a handmade paper imported from Nepal. The second of three posters in this GODZILLA collection.”
