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. To kick things off, Mondo is releasing three Godzilla posters by artists Oliver Barrett and Tom Whalen! All three movie posters seen here will go on sale at 11am CDT today, Thursday, March 19th, at The Drop on MondoShop.com.
Godzilla by Oliver Barrett is a movie poster for the 1954 film that changed everything. As Mondo explained, “It breathed atomic life into an iconic character that inspired monster kids all over the world, and whose legacy spans over 60 years, 30+ films, and across toys, comic books, and video games. With Godzilla in all his destructive glory, Oliver's poster is about as perfect a hat tip as you could hope for for the iconic first film.”
Mondo is also releasing two posters by Tom Whalen for Shōwa era films Godzilla vs Megalon and Terror of MechaGodzilla. Mondo stated that “In Godzilla vs Megalon, Godzilla teams up with fan favorite Jet Jaguar to battle against Megalon and awesome cyborg kaiju Gigan, while Terror of MechaGodzilla pits Godzilla against MechaGodzilla 2 and Titanosaurus. Tom always has a strong eye for design and composition, and these posters are brilliant examples of that.”
