Mark Wickham's "Hausu" Movie Poster


My daily "Poster Per Diem" feature is focused 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.

Hausu Movie Poster
Mark Wickham
300 mm x 420 mm (Screen Print) - Signed and Numbered
€20 (~ $26) - Limited to 55

For the folks who haven't yet experienced Hausu by Nobuhiko Ôbayashi, here's how I would best describe the movie: Picture a scenic hillside in Japan, and on that hillside is a house, and in that house are seven giggly Japanese schoolgirls, but unbeknownst to them the home also accommodates a vengeful disembodied head, a carnivorous piano, a murderous grandfather clock, a man who is at some point turned into a mound of bananas, and a batshit-crazy ghost cat. And just for good measure, all of this surreal lunacy unfolds under a rainbow of psychedelic colors and sounds. To say the film is nuts would be an understatement, but it's also a blast to watch and something every cinephile should check out.

In honor of a 2011 Hausu screening by the Dublin-based Hollywood Babylon Film Club, artist Mark Wickham created an amazing print that celebrates the film's odd marriage between gore and cutesy Japanese culture to absolute perfection. If, like me, you're a huge fan of the film, you must run, not walk, to the Hollywood Babylon Big Cartel store and pick one of these posters up for €20 (approximately $26) at once. The screen print measures 300 mm x 420 mm and is limited to an edition of 55. To learn more about Mark, visit nomanshand.blogspot.com.

Chris Brake's "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" Movie Poster


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."

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane Movie Poster
Chris Brake
Multiple Sizes - Open Edition
Priced Depending on Size

I'm about a day behind on my "Poster Per Diems," which means I won't be typing a ton about this print, but I'm pleased as punch to be sharing it with everyone. First things first, if you haven't seen Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, stop reading this right now and watch the film. It's from the 60s, it's black and white, and it's one of the most terrifying / entertaining things you'll ever experience. Bette Davis psychologically and physically tormenting Joan Crawford? Yes, please. I really fell for Chris Brake's Baby Jane print because I think he absolutely nailed Baby Jane Hudson's full-on mental collapse in a stylish, if-you-gaze-into-the-abyss-the-abyss-gazes-also-into-you sort of way. Better yet, this poster is currently available for purchase through Brake's Society 6 page in a variety of sizes and prices.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space 25th Anniversary Movie Poster (Variant Edition)
Jason Edmiston
24" x 36" (Screen Print) - Numbered
Sold Out - Limited to 75

I meant to write about theses beauties when they first went on sale, but for some reason I just never got around to it. For that alone, I deserve a shovel to the head, because these posters are positively jaw-dropping. Jason Edmiston, a man who's already crafted a large body of stunning prints, deserves an extra round of kudos and maybe some sort of presidential medal of valor good art-making (apparently naming presidential medals is not one of my strengths) for his ode to that 1980s cult gem Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Wouldn't you know it, the posters are now long gone, but you can find more stellar work on the Internetz (I added a 'z') at skuzzles.com and jasonedmiston.com. To venture deeper into the dark minds (a la Being John Malkovich) behind all this eye candy, point your tweet rays toward @jasonedmiston and @skuzzlescan.

Luke Butland (AKA LostMind)
420 mm x 297 mm (Screen Print) - Numbered
$30 - Limited to 50

I won't lie, I've only made it through one season of The Walking Dead so far, but I know a good looking print when I see one and Luke Butland's Walking Dead poster is pretty damn sharp. (It's artwork like this that reminds me just how much TV I need to catch up on.) If you'd like to get your hands on one, they're currently available through the LostMind Big Cartel store for $30. Each print measures 420 mm x 297 mm and is limited to an edition of 50. For more of Luke's artwork, check out his Society 6 page and follow @lst_mind on Twitter.

Randy Ortiz's "The Imprecation of a Nameless Obscenity" Art Prints

UPDATE (3/14): I just found out there are still a few silver glow in the dark variants available through Randy Ortiz's storefront! Woot! Woot!

The good folks at Poster Collective ("PC") have put out yet another delicious looking design in the form of three exceptional screen prints by artist Randy Ortiz. This not only marks the first (and hopefully not last) time Ortiz has worked with the Collective, it also represents the first time a PC release has not been explicitly film-related. Unfortunately, I'm a little late to the party on this one and the glow in the dark variant has already sold out, but both the blue and gold metallic versions are still available for $30 and $35, respectively. For more info on the artist, check out damnthedesign.com and follow @damnthedesign.

Martin Ansin's "Taxi Driver" Movie Poster

Taxi Driver Movie Poster
Martin Ansin
24" x 36" (Screen Print) - Numbered
Included with Ticket Price - Edition Size TBD

This one's a little bittersweet for me because, on the one hand, holy shit, it's a Martin Ansin Taxi Driver poster! Again: holy shit, it's a Martin Ansin Taxi Driver poster! On the other hand, this print will only be available to the lucky folks attending a screening of the film in Austin next week. Meaning, if you really want to get your hands on one (and honestly, who doesn't?), then you'd better be prepared to pay a hefty price on the secondary market. But enough whining, it is what it is. And what it is, is a breathtaking piece of artwork by one of the most talented artists in the world for one of the most celebrated films ever made. Ansin skillfully taps into Bickle's isolation, suggesting that even while Travis is walking the crowded streets of New York City, his inability to communicate with those around him has all but guaranteed a sad and solitary existence. In the words of Mr. Bickle himself (taken from Taxi Driver):
"Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man..."

"Things to Come" Art Print
Señor Salme
Multiple Sizes / Prices (Giclée) - Open Edition
Inspired By: Things to Come (1936)

I've never written about artist Señor Salme before today and I'm the sorrier for it because, wow, this dude has some major talent. Now, on with the show. While I don't think the 1936 film Things to Come is the height of cinema, it does certainly feature some amazing special effects. And Salme's take on the character John Cabal paints a stunning picture of the alternate universe dreamed up by H.G. Wells and director William Cameron Menzies. For fans of old school sci-fi and admirers of before-its-time spectacle, one of these must-have prints can purchased at Society6 in a variety of sizes. For more info on the artist, head over to srsalme.com and follow @srsalme on Twitter. Salme also has a Tumblr, Facebook, and Flickr page.

"Underneath the Surface" Art Print (with hand embellishments)
Mayra Fersner (AKA Hag Cult)
18" x 24" (Screen Print) - Signed and Numbered
$25 - Limited to 45
Inspired By: Blue Velvet

If you've already experienced Blue Velvet, then you know "Underneath the Surface" may be the most appropriate title one could ask for of anything inspired by Lynch's small town neo-noir. For every inch, we, the audience, have travelled down the rabbit hole during Velvet's runtime, artist Mayra Fersner has lovingly populated this print with the weird, the wonderful, and the uniquely surreal. Mayra on the poster's creation (from the Hag Cult blog):
"When I first created the illustration 'Underneath the Surface' (inspired by Blue Velvet), it was with the intention of making it a print. I thought it would be a fun idea to use some elements from the Pabst Blue Ribbon can in my design. I hadn’t had a chance to print these until recently. They turned out really well. The screenprints themselves are with dark blue and silver inks. Each “18″ x 24″ print will be unique as they will be hand embellished with red inks (screen inks).
"Underneath the Surface" is currently available through hagcult.bigcartel.com for $25. The hand embellished poster measures 18" x 24" and is limited to an edition of 45. For more info on Mayra's artwork, head over to hagcult.com and follow @hagcult on Twitter.

Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan Movie Poster
Joe Wilson
Official One-Sheet - Not for Sale (?)

As a huge fan of artist Joe Wilson and an even bigger fan of stop motion pioneer Ray Harryhausen, my enjoyment of this poster was all but assured. Recreating some of Ray's best known effects (Medusa from Clash of the Titans, the saucers from Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, the Cyclops from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, etc.), Joe has lovingly surrounded the man with a lifetime's worth of fantastical achievements. I don't believe this poster is currently for sale, but if you're interested in learning more about the doc, I'd recommend checking out the trailer below and visiting the film's Facebook page.

Sold Out - Limited to 200

Long time no see, folks! Seriously, apologies for the lack of posts recently. I promise I'll make it up to you with contests aplenty in the near future. This year's resolution is to make Posterocalypse more than just a hobby. What does that mean? I'm still not sure, but I'm stoked nonetheless. Now to the good stuff.

I missed out when artist Chuck Sperry's incredible Lawrence of Arabia poster went on sale through Spoke Art (spoiler alert: it's long been sold out), however it would be considered a crime to not mention this stellar print. For more info on the artist, head over to chucksperry.net and follow @yosquirt. And while you're at it, be sure to check out Spoke Art's website, store, and Twitter. Oh yeah, and a very belated happy new year to everyone out there!

P.S. I'm in the process of finalizing my "Best Posters of 2012" list. It's going to be good.

"Parasitism (Studies III X)" Art Print

A2 - 23.4" x 16.5" (Giclée) - Signed and Numbered
£40 (around $63.40) - Limited to 20

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

Inspired By: Yojimbo

Today's PPD is one of those prints that I regret never having picked up. Not only is it a jaw-dropping Paul Pope masterpiece (we're talking about the guy who did 100% and Heavy Liquid after all), it's also a beautiful tribute to Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo and Toshiro Mifune's incredible performance. Damn I want this poster! This print has long been sold out and for good reason. Should this print ever be made available again (I'm guessing it won't), you can bet I'll be the first guy in line.

$50 - Limited to 83 (Red Variant 1-33, Regular 34-83)
Inspired By: The Hunger

I'll be honest, I wasn't nuts about Craig Drake's Mondo Gallery show, but his Hunger inspired print is bloody fantastic. It captures that 80s sleek chic vibe to a tee and makes good use of Bowie's angular visage. Drake's "The Hunger" will be available tomorrow (11/8) through Ltd. Art Gallery's website at 12 PM PST as part of their "POP 2!" art show. The print costs $50 and is limited to an edition of 83, with the first 33 customers getting a metallic red variant.

I hope everyone had a spooktacular (yep, I went there) Halloween. In the spirit of All Hallows' Eve (and because I just watched the film) I wanted to give it up for Johnny Sampson's spectacular American Scream movie poster. Somehow The American Scream screen print is still available through the Magic Stones Production storefront and only costs $45. The poster is limited to an edition of 130 and measures 24" x 36". A bit of advice: check out The American Scream (it's a great doc) and be sure to follow @bestworstmovie (the film's director) and @johnnysampson (the poster artist) on Twitter.

What started out as a must own painting recently became a must own print and is somehow still available (as of this writing) through Ltd. Art Gallery's website for $40. I've seen a few The Thing prints cleverly use MacReady's head in my time, but Kloc's poster takes the cake. This is seriously one of craziest, most awesome prints I've seen all year. The giclée measures 13" x 17" and is limited to an edition of 30. To learn more about artist David Kloc, head over to davekloc.com. And if you'd like to keep up with Ltd.

The Burning 2 Movie Poster
Nathan Thomas Milliner
18" x 24" (Giclée) - Numbered
$35 - Limited to 100

Remember that time in The Burning 2 when Cropsey was chasing Jamie Lee Curtis, gardening shears in hand, trying to kill her? I mean really trying to cut her up bad. Oh yeah, and I think Ernest Borgnine ran the summer camp where it all took place. You remember that, right? And if memory serves, the film played briefly during the summer of 82, but only really found success as a cult classic years later. Wait, wait. Never mind. I'm fairly positive I just made all that stuff up based off of the information included in the image above. You see, the twisted mind behind Strange Kids Club, a site you should probably visit immediately, recently announced a limited poster series that celebrates some of his favorite lesser known horror movie sequels (and by "lesser known," I mean "non-existant.")

Poster Per Diem: Eric Bonhomme's "Throne of Blood" Movie Poster

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."

Throne of Blood Movie Posters
Eric Bonhomme
Multiple Sizes (Giclée) - Multiple Prices

This poster is a must own for any fan of Akira Kurosawa or Macbeth (since Kurosawa's Throne of Blood is an adaptation of The Bard's beloved tale.) Add to that Bonhomme's exceptional work, and you've got yourself something that beautifully skirts the line between amazing art and a wonderfully rendered tribute to a cinematic masterpiece. Eric Bonhomme's Throne of the Blood print is currently available through Society6. For more Bonhomme goodness, check out Eric's blog, Tumblr and deviantART page.

"Peeping Totoro" Art Print
Bill Presing
13" x 16.5" (Giclée) - Signed
$30 - Edition Size TBD (May be an open edition)
Inspired By: My Neighbor Totoro

Happy Labor Day / Monday folks! I felt the need for a bit of the ole funny stuff today and found this inspired take on what Totoro (of My Neighbor Totoro fame) does when he isn't helping little Japanese kids get through tough times. It turns out he's a bit of perv. This hilarious and great looking print is currently available through the Nucleus Gallery website for $30. "Peeping Totoro" is part of the Totoro Forest Project, which means a portion of the proceeds will be going to Hayao Miyazaki's Totoro No Furusato National Fund.
