Poster Per Diem: Dan Mumford's "Studies III" Art Prints


If you visit this site with any regularity, you already know I tend to write reviews for film and television inspired prints that are either currently on sale or are about to go on sale. And while I'll still be pouring the majority of my efforts into those sorts of posts, my daily "Poster Per Diem" feature will focus on awesome prints that have since sold out, never existed in the first place (AKA concept posters) or just bear mentioning. In other words: this is my chance to say, "I never got a chance, for whatever reason, to write about you on this here website, but I think you're really purty and I want to let the world know." Or something like that. Oh, and Per diem is latin for "per day" or "each day."

I've been a big fan of Dan Mumford's ever since I first laid eyes on his grotesque The Thing poster. Since then, he's created a slew of stellar horror inspired art and some fantastic non-movie related prints. I'm happy to report that his work (film-centric or not) still retains that horrifically beautiful aesthetic that originally hooked me. Lucky for us, Mr. Mumford just released a bunch of prints as part of his "Studies III" series, and they're downright terrifying (the good sort of terrifying, that is). Head over to dan-mumford.com and follow @danmumforddraws on Twitter for more info on the artist. I think somebody needs to arrange a meeting between Mumford and Videodrome era Cronenberg. Me thinks that would be rad

  1. Absolutely love the colors in these pieces! Mumford never ceases to amaze.

    BTW - the new Posterocalypse header is wicked! Matthew Allison's work?

    1. Agreed! And thanks for the compliment on the header! You nailed it. It's Matthew Allison. Have you worked with him before? I'm really, really pleased with the way it turned out.

    2. I have! He's done some work with us for the Strange Kid Magazine and has a great, quirky pulp style.
