As you’ve probably noticed, movie-poster collecting has turned into a Ron Burgundy-sized “Big Deal” over the past few years: everywhere you look, brilliantly talented artists like Aaron Horkey, Tyler Stout, and Ken Taylor are joining forces with places like Gallery 1988, IAm8Bit, and the newly-opened Mondo Gallery to create collectible, gorgeously-rendered works of art based on your favorite movies and TV shows, and every time one of these posters drops…a poster-collector is born.
And where do we–the die-hard paper-geeks of the world– go for our news? For our drop announcements? For interviews with our favorite artists? For reckless rumor-mongering about upcoming events? Last week, we unveiled Limited Paper, a new ongoing series here at Collider.com designed to keep everyone from poster-collecting veterans to poster-collecting n00bs up to speed on just those issues. Want to know what’s new in the limited paper world this week? Meet me after the jump, folks.
Last week, we debuted Limited Paper here at Collider.com, and the response was fantastic. Better, even, than we ever could have hoped for. We got a strong wave of positive feedback from the poster-collecting masses (and more than a few thumbs up from some of our favorite people working in the print-producing industry), and were thrilled to discover that you guys are just as excited about this terribly geeky stuff as we are. So, first of all, thanks to all who shared links to Limited Paper, wrote in with supportive comments/suggestions, and those who expressed interest in sharing story ideas; it was all much appreciated.
This week, we’re actually ...

Limited Paper at Comic-Con: Mike Mitchell’s ADVENTURE TIME and Jay Shaw’s MIMIC
Well, folks, here we are: the end of Comic-Con 2012. The booths are being disassembled, the nerds are flocking to the exits, booth-babe pictures are being stored on hard-drives, and poster-tubes packed with sweet, sweet limited-paper goodness are being carried triumphantly from the San Diego Convention Center. What screenprints were we able to score before fleeing the SDCC for the safety of the San Diego airport? Oh, nothing special: just a few more awesome Mike Mitchell pieces from Mondo’s ongoing Adventure Time series and a Jay Shaw print autographed by none other than Guillermo del Toro.
Read all about ‘em after the jump, my fellow poster-geeks.
Comic-Con 2012 has been an absolute beating, a brutal pilgrimage to the dark heart of geekery that left many of us under-rested, overspent, and in desperate need of about fifteen back-to-back showers (the rumors you’ve heard about “the Comic-Con smell” are not to be disbelieved). On the upside, though, Comic-Con 2012 allowed me to meet and spent quality time with artists like Olly Moss, Daniel Danger, Jock, Mark Englert—all of whom are total sweethearts-- and I was also able to get my grubby mitts on a number of limited-edition screenprints that would’ve cost me hundreds on the secondary market had I not been here to collect them myself. In the end, the lack of sleep and permanently-damaged bank account are more than worth it.
While the last day of Comic-Con is—traditionally—a bit more of a low-key affair than the days that preceded it, it turned out that ...

Limited Paper: Jay Shaw, Josh Budich, and Jeff Boyes Team Up with Gallery1988 to Present New Work; Exclusive First Images Here
We’ve covered the awesome work being done by the Gallery 1988 guys before here at Limited Paper: they’re the guys behind this summer’s awesome run of Breaking Bad posters, last month’s desperately-needed Arrested Development-themed show, and—most recently-- Mark Englert’s Comic-Con exclusive Alien poster (You Are My Lucky Star). Yes, the Gallery88 guys have been on a roll this year, and this week’s new batch of prints—from Jay Shaw, Josh Budich, and Jeff Boyes—looks to continue that trend. What sort of new work can we expect from the guys later this week? Find out after the jump, folks.
If you’ve been reading Limited Paper since its inception here at Collider, then you know we’re big fans of the work being done by the guys over at Gallery1988, who are to California what Mondo is to Texas. Most recently, the G88 guys released Mark Englert’s jaw-droppingly cool Alien-based poster, You Are My Lucky Star (during one of Comic-Con 2012’s most…uh…festive lines), and just last week they dropped the latest in their long-running Breaking Bad series, a wildly-intricate Kevin Tong print by the name of The Superlab.
Well, not too long ago the Gallery announced that it’d be holding an all-new show, one packed to the gills with brand-new work from Jay Shaw (last seen holding his one-man Don’t Go Out Tonight show at the Mondo Gallery in Austin), Josh Budich, and Jeff Boyes-- a trio of artists that should be familiar to any Limited Paper reader worth his or her salt. The advertisements billed ...

Limited Paper: Gallery 1988 Reveals the Full Lineup for New Gallery Show Featuring Jay Shaw, Josh Budich, and Jeff Boyes
Earlier in the week, we ran a brief preview about Gallery 1988’s latest show, a “three-man solo show” featuring new art from Jay Shaw, Jeff Boyes, and Josh Budich. At the time, we shared about half a dozen pictures, bringing you what may or may not’ve been your first look at Shaw’s Klute and Invasion of The Body Snatchers, Budich’s Sorceress and Tetsuo, and—last but not least—the one-two punch of Boyes’ Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind and The Wolf Mobile (based on the original Teen Wolf). Those pics were all great, to be sure, but they did leave us a little wanting...but all that’s over now.
Wanna see every other print that’s on sale via the good folks at Gallery1988? Meet me after the jump, folks (and be sure to bring your wallet).
If you’re a screenprint collector, then I probably don’t need to tell you that this summer has visited quite the merciless beating upon bank accounts everywhere: the Alamo Drafthouse’s Summer of ’82 series kicked things off a few months ago (accompanied by new Mondo prints based on ET, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and Rocky 3, and Drew Struzan’s insta-classic screenprint for The Thing), while Gallery1988 held an Arrested Development-themed gallery show, Mark Englert released prints based on Stephen King’s It and The Walking Dead, and the good folks at The Phone Booth Gallery dropped three new sets of prints by Martin Ansin, Rich Kelly, and Ken Taylor. All of that was followed by the tenth ...

Limited Paper: Mondo Releases BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW, ALEXANDER JODOROWSKY’S DUNE, and WRONG
Another busy day in Poster World, folks: at some point today, Mondo will drop three more of its Fantastic Fest posters on a not-so-unsuspecting populace. Kilian Eng’s Alexander Jodorowsky’s Dune and the one-two punch of Jay Shaw’s Beyond The Black Rainbow and Wrong will hit the Mondo website in a matter of…what, minutes? Hours? There’s no telling—you’ll have to wait for the Tweet to find out—but while we’re waiting on the drop to occur, why don’t we take a closer look at what’s dropping today? It’s all after the jump, my fellow poster-nerds.
If you were at Fantastic Fest 2012, then you already had your shot at picking up Jay Shaw’s Beyond The Black Rainbow, Wrong, or Kilian Eng’s Alexander Jodorowsky’s Dune…but now it’s time for everyone that wasn’t in Austin last week, Mondo’s making those prints available very, very soon. How soon? Well, today, actually. Any minute now, in fact! Better blaze through this one quickly:
Beyond The Black Rainbow by Jay Shaw
18x24”

Wrong by Jay Shaw

We’ll be back in just a few minutes with more Limited Paper goodness—we’ve got an exclusive reveal you’re going to want to get a look at—but until then, we wish everyone luck in picking ...

Mondo NYCC Posters Revealed! LORD OF THE RINGS, IRON GIANT, SHAUN OF THE DEAD, FRIDAY THE 13th PART III 3D and More!
If you're a Mondo fan and headed to New York Comic-Con this weekend, I strongly advise you to get to the con when it opens Friday morning at 9:30am. That's because even though most assumed Mondo would release their prints like they did in San Diego (one at a time), I've learned that when the doors open, everything is for sale!
But it gets better.
Late tonight, as the convention was closing, I was able to take pictures of everything at the Mondo booth! If you've been wondering what would be sold at NYCC, Mondo has prints for Shaun of the Dead, Lord of the Rings, The Iron Giant, Phantasm, City of the Living Dead, Kill Bill, The Foghorn Leghorn, and Friday the 13th Part III 3D! In addition, a number of these prints have variants. Hit the jump for a ton of images and artists info.
As most of you know, Scott Wampler usually handles all the Mondo stuff in our Limited Paper column, and he breaks everything down by artist. Due to wanting to post this as fast as possible, here's a list of the movies that received prints, the artists who designed them, and a ton of images.
As I previously mentioned, some of these prints have variants. From what I could tell, the print runs for the variants are 175 each (give or take). There is some great stuff below. Let me know what your favorites are in the comments. My vote is for the Jock Shaun of the Dead ...

Limited Paper: On the Eve of the Universal Monsters Show, Mondo Releases a Ton of NYCC Posters (And Jay Shaw’s PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4)
We’ve just about made it to Mondo’s Universal Monsters gallery show—their biggest show ever, opening this Friday and playing home to nearly 20 posters and 50-plus originals (according to Mondo’s creative director, Justin Ishmael, at tonight’s 3D screening of Creature From The Black Lagoon)—but that doesn’t mean all of Mondo’s other business has been put on hold. In fact, they’re going to be dropping the remaining prints from their recent New York Comic-Con appearance tomorrow morning. Wanna know what’s going on sale, what it’ll cost you, and what it looks like? Meet me after the jump, folks.
Before we get into what Mondo’s dropping tomorrow—and there’s quite a few things dropping—lemme remind everyone that our giveaway of Drew Struzan’s Creature From The Black Lagoon is still going strong. We’ve received hundreds of entries thus far (and more than a few really kick-ass Limited Paper logos designed by readers), but you’ve still got until Sunday to get yours turned in. Head on over to this page and get all caught up on what you need to do for a chance to score! Someone’s gonna get lucky, and right now everyone’s got better chances of winning this than, say, winning the lottery. So get involved, Slappy! Hit that link if you’re not already onboard, and stay tuned for the results, early next week.
Now that we’ve got that outta the way, let’s burn through what Mondo’s going to be dropping tomorrow morning/afternoon. If you’ve been following along with us here at Limited Paper recently, you’ll ...

Limited Paper: A Preview of Bottleneck Gallery’s GIZMOS AND GADGETS Show Featuring New Artwork from Godmachine, Cuyler Smith, and Dave Perillo
Yes, gallery shows are still coming fast and furious in 2013, and this week brings us another new one: Bottleneck Gallery’s Gizmos and Gadgets opens this Friday, and—from the looks of the preview images sent over by our buddy Joe at the Gallery’s NYC location—it looks to be just as impressive as the work we saw from that Gallery throughout 2012. Wanna see some amazing new artwork from Godmachine, Cuyler Smith, and Dave Perillo? Find out when you can plan on getting a crack at purchasing some of this stuff online? Meet me after the jump, folks.
For the past few weeks, your humble Limited Paper scribe has been knee-deep in a few non-Limited-Paper-related projects, both of which have been keeping me a little more occupied than usual. So, before we get into today’s amazing preview of Bottleneck Gallery’s forthcoming Gizmos and Gadgets show, I just wanted to offer up a brief mea culpa: planning a wedding and interviewing for a dream job have been keeping me pretty busy as of late, but we’re doing our best to balance everything out.
This week at Limited Paper, we’re going to have (fingers crossed) the third of our “Welcome to 2013” giveaways to announce, and next week we’re going to be offering up some exclusive photos and video from Mondo’s In Progress show at the Mondo Gallery. All of this, of course, is in addition to our normal drop-to-drop coverage, so hopefully that’ll keep all of you steeped in the kind of reading material ...

Limited Paper: Mondo Announces New REPO MAN Posters by Tyler Stout and Jay Shaw
With the Criterion Collection’s Repo Man on the verge of being releases, we’d been expecting a Jay Shaw print to drop any minute, one to match the design he created for the film’s cover box…and that print did just get announced. But did anyone expect the other Repo Man poster Mondo’s dropping later this week? Just weeks after unleashing a slew of new Tyler Stout prints at the Mondo Gallery’s Stout & Taylor show, Tyler Stout’s Repo Man gets announced. You as shocked as we were? Think about it while you check out the specs on this week’s Mondo prints, after the jump…
OK, let’s get this party started:
Repo Man by Jay Shaw
18x24”
$45 regular edition of 195
Repo Man by Tyler Stout
18x24”
$45 regular edition of 510
$65 variant edition of 220 (Glow-in-The-Dark Variant)
Follow @MondoNews (Link: www.twitter.com/mondonews) , wait for them to announce that the prints have gone on sale, follow, the link, and clothesline the shit out of everyone you can on our mad dash through the checkout process. These Tyler Stout drops aren’t getting any easier, as some of us will recall from the Oscar Night Django drop. Anyway: good luck, folks.
And as always, if you’re an artist or gallery with artwork you’d like to see featured on Limited Paper (or if you’re just some lucky bastard who happened to overhear a bit of poster-related gossip while standing in the bushes outside Martin Ansin’s house) we wanna hear from you!

Limited Paper: Mondo Posters For EVIL DEAD 2, ARMY OF DARKNESS; Plus Check out the MONDONOMICON
Not too long ago, Mondo Creative Director Justin Ishmael mentioned that a few Evil Dead-related items were headed our way, and it appears that tomorrow’s the day we’re going to have a chance to pick them up. Randy Ortiz’ Army of Darkness print (which first appeared at a Kansas City Drafthouse screening of that Sam Raimi film), a new Evil Dead 2 print from Jason Edmiston, and the latest Mondo poster book—with a special Mondonomicon cover—are all headed our way, and you can find out how many are available, what they’ll set ya back, and more after the jump.
When the Evil Dead remake hit theaters, many Mondo fans were primed for a poster based on that remake. At the time, we were reassured that “something” Evil Dead-related was headed our way, but—in typical Mondo fashion—the hint-dropping ended there. If you’ve been following along, you know that the Mondo crew recently issued a Randy Ortiz Army of Darkness print via a Kansas City Army of Darkness screening…but what else was on the way? Now we know. The following drop tomorrow via the Mondo website:
Army of Darkness by Randy Ortiz
24x36”
$45 regular edition of 425
Evil Dead 2 by Jason Edmiston
Holy shit this poster
24x36”
$45 regular edition of 325
Mondonomicon Poster Book
9x12” leather-bound/hardcover book with silver-embossed stamp
Cover designed by Jay Shaw

If that Mondonomicon book is anything like the poster books Mondo’s released in the past, I really can’t recommend enough that you pick one up: Limited Paper purchased one at the first-ever ...

Tom Hiddleston to Star in Ben Wheatley’s HIGH RISE; Filming to Begin in June
The adaptation of J.G. Ballard's High Rise has been stuck in development hell for years, but last year, Kill List director Ben Wheatley signed on to become the project's latest director. The 1975 novel "takes place in a tower block, which is supposed to be a gleaming new, exciting and exotic home for its affluent residents, but ends up isolating and factionalizing them into all-out war, with the surface sophistication degenerating to primal savagery." Today, Wheatley announced on his Twitter page that production will begin in June, and the film will star Tom Hiddleston.
Hit the jump for more including a cool promo image Wheatley tweeted.
In his tweet announcing the start date and Hiddleston as the lead, Wheatley also included this cool promo art by artist Jay Shaw:
As for the style of the picture, we know that it will be a period piece [via io9]:
We’ve gone back and Amy [Jump]‘s written a script that’s very close to the book. It’s set in 1975… it’s going to look like the 70s. It’s going to be very styled in that way. We’re looking at the Ridley Scott adverts of that period. It’s going to be modern in a way that the 70s looked.
I continue to be more excited for this project. I also continue to kick myself for not having read the novel yet.
