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 second batch of three Godzilla posters today by artists Attack Peter, Robert Sammelin, and Eric Powell! All three movie posters seen here will go on sale at 11am CDT today, Tuesday, March 24th, at The Drop on MondoShop.com.
Peter Santa-Maria aka Attack Peter is a printmaker who focuses on hand-carved linocut prints on Lokta paper (handmade paper imported from Nepal) that he prints himself. As Mondo explained, “Godzilla seemed like a no brainer for our first projects with Peter, and we're super happy with the result. In total we worked on three “Godzilla vs” posters for this collection, with the first release being for the Shōwa era’s Godzilla vs The Thing, also known as Mothra vs Godzilla.”
Next up is Robert Sammelin and his posters for 2016’s Shin Godzilla. Released in 2016, and the first film in the Reiwa era, this modern Godzilla film is an amazing return to form. Mondo stated, “Robert absolutely crushed the illustration on this poster, rendering everything traditionally in ink on paper. The Japanese language variant poster features glow in the dark inks on those awesome atomic rays that come out from between G’s dorsal fins. Just unreal.”
Last but certainly not least is Eric Powell’s haunting poster for the original Godzilla film. Mondo went on to say, “Presented mostly in silhouette, Eric's artwork is a beautiful and classic celebration of the original King of the Monsters and his massive scale, as well as devastating destruction that is often left in his wake.”
Mothra Vs Godzilla by Attack Peter is a 20”x30” signed and numbered Linocut Print on Lokta Paper. Limited to 120 pieces, it will retail for $80.
