Rhys Cooper's "Mad Max" Double Bill Posters

The planets must have aligned, as Tommy Good, the same folks who brought us posters for Once Upon a Time in the West, A Clockwork Orange and Apocalypse Now, are set to unleash a Mad Max and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior double bill print by artist Rhys Cooper. Here's a fun tidbit that everyone reading this probably already knows: both Tommy Good (the company) and Rhys Cooper (the artist) are based out of Australia. Why is this important, you ask? Well, technically it's not. Good art is good art no matter where it comes from, but Mad Max is probably the most celebrated Ozploitation film ever put to celluloid, which in my mind makes these prints all the more authentic. I think Lord Humungus would agree, don't you?

Mad Max Double Bill (Regular Version) Rhys Cooper 12" x 36" - Signed and Numbered $33 - Limited to 170

Mad Max Double Bill (Hand Embellished Variant) Rhys Cooper 12" x 36" - Signed and Numbered $53 - Limited to 60

Rhys is the master of the 12" x 36" print. He just is. He's done similarly-sized work for Skuzzles, Mondo, and more recently, his self-commissioned Drive print. I can't exactly say why he tends to favor more lean and lofty poster proportions, but he does, and I've always appreciated the lankier layouts that can so elegantly break up a wall covered exclusively in 18" x 24" and 24" x 36" works of art. But enough about that, let's get into the real meat and beans of this post apocalyptic poster.

Mad Max Double Bill - Close-up

I honestly think these may be my favorite prints from Rhys Cooper yet. Now, hear me out: sure, I've got a shotgun shell-sized soft spot in my heart for all things Mad Max (who doesn't), but I think, maybe more so than any movie he's ever done a poster for, the Mad Max series is the perfect fit for Cooper's controlled-but-chaotic aesthetic. I picture two long-lost siblings, finally reunited, both of whom really like to blow shit up. As I'm sure you can guess (even if you haven't seen the movies), there's no shortage of insanity or violence in the first two Mad Max films, and these posters nail the burnt-out, brutal, dystopian landscape, which is wonderfully conveyed by the sun-baked yellows and reds and, oh yeah, the blood splatter. Finally, there's absolutely no way to ignore the inherent coolness "Mad" Max Rockatansky embodies just by standing there and looking badass, and Rhys has done a great job reproducing Mel Gibson's imposing figure and icy stare circa 1979. Also, there's a freaking skull superimposed over his face! There's a lot to like here, and way, way, way more to talk about, but the bottom line is this: if you're of the male persuasion, or a fan of some seriously over-the-top Ozploitative films, or you just like badass things, then these are the posters for you.

Mad Max Double Bill - Close-up

Both versions of Rhys Cooper's Mad Max / Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior movie poster will be available through tommygood.com tomorrow (3/7) in the US, which will actually be Thursday (3/8) in Australia. The regular version measures 12" x 36", is limited to 170 and will cost $33, while the hand-embellished variant, AKA the "DEATH ON WHEELS: Driver of the Apocalypse" variant, will be limited to 60 and will cost $53. A quick note on the hand embellishments: the painting by Rhys on the variants was created with gouche in a combination of brushstrokes and splatter techniques, meaning no two will be the same. Be sure to follow @ThisIsTommyGood for the exact release info, and for additional Rhys Cooper artwork, head over to his Studio Seppuku store.

Rhys Cooper's "The Scorpion and the Frogs" Art Print

I couldn't in good conscience go to bed without publishing something about this awesome Drive inspired poster. Rhys Cooper's "The Scorpion and the Frogs" art print is currently available for pre-order and will only be available for purchase till the end of Monday (12/19). The amount he sells will be used to determine the edition size.

"The Scorpion and the Frogs"
Rhys Cooper
12" x 36" - Signed and Numbered
$40 - Edition Size TBD
Inspired By: Drive

It was devastating to learn that we were deprived a Drive print due to creative differences between the production company and Mondo, but thankfully several artists heard the techno-tinged synth call and unveiled their interpretations of the film to us, the hungry public. My favorites were from artists Luis Fernando Cruz, Jeff Boyes, and James White, but I think Cooper's print may be the best yet. Rhys' gonzo touches perfectly capture the intense flashes of violence that make Drive so memorable, and not since Oldboy has a hammer been this iconic. As far as I know this is the first film inspired print that Rhys has done completely on his own (i.e., not commissioned), meaning I'm both incredibly impressed and really hoping to see more projects like this come out of Studio Seppuku.

Cooper's "The Scorpion and the Frogs" art print is currently available for pre-order through Studio Seppuku for $40. On Tuesday (12/20) the print will no longer be available for purchase, so if you're planning on picking one of these up - act now. The poster measures 12" x 36" and will be signed and numbered. To learn more about Rhys Cooper be sure to visit his storefront and Facebook page.

Spoke Art's Second Annual "Bad Dads" Art Show

UPDATE (4/5): Interested in winning an AP of Randy Ortiz's “We Got the Tail, but We Missed the Fox” print? Well, you now officially have your chance! Randy is giving away one of his Fantastic Mr. Fox prints as part of a Damn the Design Facebook contest. For contest rules and directions head over to Randy's Facebook page now!

Spoke Art has finally released their remaining "Bad Dads" inventory to the unwashed masses of the Interwebs (that's me) and I couldn't be more thrilled. Although, to be honest, this has been a mixed blessing of sorts. Sure, there's a ton of amazing artwork inspired by some of my favorite Wes Anderson films. But for every stupefying work of art I buy, I end up dropping somewhere around $30, $40, or $50 - that adds up fairly quickly. And while I didn't purchase every print I'm about to discuss in this post, I was incredibly impressed with everything below and would heartily recommend collecting one or all of these posters while they're still available. Note: everything mentioned here was still available for purchase at the time of this writing.

"He is The Zissou" Art Print Tim Doyle 16" x 20" - Signed and Numbered $40 - Limited to 75 Inspired By: The Life Aquatic

"Stephen Zissou" Art Print Zach Landrum 12.5" x 18" - Signed and Numbered $30 - Limited to 50 Inspired By: The Life Aquatic

As an FYI, you should probably know that The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is my all time favorite Wes Anderson film. With that confession out of the way, let's get to the good stuff. I had to place these prints together, I just had to. This is a perfect example of why I love art. You can have two portraits that depict the exact same thing, Steve Zissou's head in this case, but presented in such completely different manners. Tim Doyle's playful and inventive "He is the Zissou" conveys just how connected Zissou is with the maritime creatures he studies, which raises the question, where does the aquatic end and Steve Zissou begin? Conversely, Zach Landrum's "Stephen Zissou" conjures up an old, tired, but still kind of badass man far past his prime, with memories literally written on his face (or neck, rather). Zach's print also seems to play with some religious iconography as there appears to be some sort of halo behind our "Bad Dad." I'd join the cult of Zissou!

Tim Doyle's "He is The Zissou" art print is currently available through the Spoke Art store and costs $40. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou inspired print measures 16" x 20" and is limited to an edition of 75. To learn more about Austin-based artist Tim Doyle, be sure to visit his portfolio at mrdoyle.com, his store at nakatomiinc.com, and follow him on Twitter @NakatomiTim.

Zach Landrum's "Stephen Zissou" print is available through the Spoke Art store for $30. The print measures 12.5" x 18" and is limited to 50. I couldn't really find any sort of web presence for the man besides an abandoned MySpace page, and a barely touched GigPosters profile, so just know that somewhere out there Zach Landrum exists and is creating art. I'm almost positive.

"Wild Animals" Art Print
Rhys Cooper
24" x 36" - Numbered
$80 - Limited to 50
Inspired By: Fantastic Mr. Fox

If you've ever seen a Rhys Cooper poster, you'll immediately recognize his somewhat grungy, but still immaculately detailed and breath-taking artwork. With "Wild Animals," Rhys has chosen to depict some of our favorite characters from Fantastic Mr. Fox along with their genus and species. One of the things I like so much about this print, besides the previously mentioned attention to detail, is how Rhys communicates the disposition and mannerisms of each character through both the clothing and the posturing of the four "Wild Animals." It's a beautiful print and I'm sure it will look awesome in person. Cooper's "Wild Animals" print is currently available through Spoke Art for $80. The print measures 24" x 36" and is limited to 50. And if the $80 price tag is just a bit too much for you, you can also purchase each of the four characters in 12" x 18" form for $30 apiece. To get the full scoop on Rhys Cooper, be sure to visit his Studio Seppuku store at studioseppuku.bigcartel.com.

"Fantastic Mr. Fox!" Art Print
Kelly Perry
18" x 24" - Signed and Numbered
$40 - Limited to 30
Inspired By: Fantastic Mr. Fox

I just adore this print! I think out of all the posters in tonight's entry, this piece most perfectly channels the whimsy and charm of Fantastic Mr. Fox. It's just perfect in my opinion. I'd never heard of Kelly Perry, whose more naturalistic style works wonderfully with the somewhat fantastical Fantastic Mr. Fox, but you can bet I'll be following her work very closely moving forward. Does anyone else think that this would make an amazing cover for the Roald Dahl book? I look at this poster and just want to watch the movie all over again. Kelly Perry's "Fantastic Mr. Fox!" art print is available for purchase through Spoke Art right now. The piece measures 18" x 24", is limited to an edition of 30, and costs $40. To see more of Kelly's artwork I recommend checking out her website at kellyperryart.com and her Society6 storefront.

“We Got the Tail, but We Missed the Fox” Fantastic Mr. Fox Movie Poster
Randy Ortiz
18" x 24" - Includes a certificate of authenticity
$50 - Limited to 75

Finally, we come to Randy Ortiz's gorgeously conceived and brilliantly executed Fantastic Mr. Fox movie poster. The print reads like a lesson in smart design, and by that I mean, Mr. Ortiz has done a spectacular job at concisely getting across much of the film in a relatively minimalistic, yet incredibly detailed, manner. Simply stunning. This was definitely one of the five prints I purchased from the show and I absolutely can't wait to get this beauty framed. Randy Ortiz's "We Got the Tail, but We Missed the Fox" print is currently available through Spoke Art for $50. The print measures 18" x 24", is limited to an edition of 75, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. For more Randy Ortiz related goodness, check out the man's Cargo Collective website, Tumblr, Etsy store, and follow him on Twitter @damnthedesign. I REALLY hope he plays around with more film stuff in the future. Mondo, are you listening?

All of these prints, and much, much more, can be found at Spoke Art's store at store.spoke-art.com, but that's not all. You'll also find info about upcoming events and future releases by subscribing to the Spoke Art mailing list, following Spoke Art's founder Ken Harman on Twitter @Spoke_Art, and checking out Spoke Art's always enjoyable Tumblr page.

Rhys Cooper's "The Toxic Avenger" and "Surfer Nazis Must Die" Movie Posters

You may (or may not) remember I wrote about Godmachine's depiction of the Troma classic The Class of Nuke 'Em High in August. Well, the boys at Skuzzles are at it again, this time with an even more recognizable Lloyd Kaufman creation, The Toxic Avenger, and a slightly lesser known Troma treasure, Surf Nazis Must Die.

Surf Nazis Must Die Movie Poster Rhys Cooper 12" x 36" - Numbered Limited to 130

The Toxic Avenger Movie Poster Rhys Cooper 12” x 36” - Numbered Limited to 130

Toxic Avenger & Surf Nazis Must Die Double Feature Poster (Variant)
Rhys Cooper
24" x 36" - Numbered
Limited to 50

I've enjoyed many a midnight airing of The Toxic Avenger, but unfortunately I've never seen the Palme d'Or winning (not really) Surf Nazis Must Die. And although I've only seen half the films mentioned in tonight's post, I can say with complete certainty that Rhys Cooper is the perfect artist for this material. Rhys tends to create colorful, dynamic designs, but more importantly, he's not afraid to make something disgusting or gory - two adjectives that are often used to describe the work of Troma Studios. If I had to choose a favorite between the two prints, I'd choose the amazing double feature variant, thereby rendering the necessity to choose one over the other moot, but since that's kind of a cop-out, I'd probably have to pick Cooper's Toxic Avenger print. Though that's mostly because the film played such a big role in my childhood (does anyone remember Toxic Crusaders?). Much like Godmachine's Class of Nuke 'Em High prints, Rhys Cooper's posters succeed not only because they're gorgeous in a toxic-waste-meets-bloody-surfboards-multiplied-by-death-metal kind of way, but because Cooper's style, with his vibrant, no holds barred approach, closely parallels many of the inventive, defiant and earnest qualities which have become hallmarks of the Troma archive.

Rhys Cooper's Toxic Avenger and Surf Nazis Must Die posters will be available later today (11/1) through the Skuzzles storefront at a random time. Both The Toxic Avenger and Surf Nazis Must Die 12" x 36" prints are numbered and are limited to 130. The variant, which I think I'll be going for today, contains both posters, measures 24" x 36" and will be limited to an edition of 50. To find out more about Skuzzles, where you can still purchase some Maximum Overdrive and Class of Nuke 'Em High prints, head over to skuzzles.com and follow them on Twitter @SKUZZLESCAN. And to pick up more Rhys Cooper artwork or learn more about the man behind the mystery, head over to his storefront at studioseppuku.bigcartel.com or check out his Facebook page. Good luck!

I've got a lot more posters to hand out, so be on the lookout for another giveaway later this week. Most importantly, thanks for reading!

I've been meaning to put this up for a while now, but mostly due to work and preparing for Fantastic Fest I just havent had the time. But finally that day has come and the giveaway to end all giveaways (hyperbole much?) has come.

"Chester Burst" Art Print
Rhys Cooper
12" x 18"
Limited to 100
Inspired By: Alien

(1) "Chester Burst" GPK print by Rhys Cooper

I liked Rhys' Garbage Pail Kid prints so much (here's the review if you need proof) that I wanted to give at least one of these beauties away to a loyal reader.

The rules are pretty simple: Unfortunately, since I'm the one paying for shipping this contest is only open to readers in the US (sorry everyone else, international shipping can be expensive and complicated). The only thing you have to do to win is leave a comment on this post with your email address and your full name and on October 15th I will randomly pick and email the winner to get his or her shipping address. Entries are limited to one person per household. Yay! Free stuff!

Rhys Cooper's Garbage Pail Kids Prints

I wasn't sure what to tackle tonight, but when I saw Rhys Cooper's Garbage Pail Kids ("GPK") prints last week I knew I'd have to write about them at some point, and now seems as good a time as any. The reason these posters appeal to me so much is because not only do they carry on the proud (and gross) legacy of the GPK trading cards, they also happen to feature some great film references. I thought tonight I'd go over a few of my favorite Rhys Cooper prints created for Gallery 1988's GPK show. Note: All of the posters included here are still available for purchase as of the writing of this post.

"2nd Hand Rob" Art Print
Rhys Cooper
12" x 18"
$25 - Limited to 100
Inspired by: Robocop

Cooper's Robocop-inspired GPK print is bat-shit crazy (in a good way). Imagine a futuristic Detroit where, instead of an efficient cyborg patrolman policing the mean streets, a snot-nosed kid comprised of metallic bits and baubles and armed with a fork and firearm prowled the Motor City burning it to the ground and leaking oil all the while. Scary, isn't it? Rhys' "2nd Hand Rob" print is available for $25 through the Gallery 1988 website. The print measures 12" x 18" and is limited to an edition of 100. I'd also like to point out that all of these posters are screen prints, so it goes without saying that they're beautifully detailed in person.

"Allen Hunter" Art Print
Rhys Cooper
12" x 18"
$25 - Limited to 100
Inspired By: Predator

The "Allen Hunter" print is about as insane as "2nd Hand Rob" and is based on a character that's just as recognizable as Robocop. This one wasn't a hard sell for me, as I'm interested in just about anything Predator or Alien related. My favorite touch has to be that, in addition to simply sporting a necklace made up of "trophies" from his deceased victims, Allen Hunter also has a pacifier attached. Wait, does that mean he killed another Garbage Pail Kid? Makes sense. "Allen Hunter" measures 12" x 18, is limited to an edition of 100 and is available through Gallery 1988 for a measly $25.

"Chester Burst" Art Print
Rhys Cooper
12" x 18"
$25 - Limited to 100
Inspired By: Alien

I briefly mentioned Alien in the previous paragraph, so this seemed like the logical next step. This print is just creepy. Rhys' "Chester Burst" takes our favorite little chest bursting xenomorph and somehow grafts a pudgy child on top of it with very disturbing results. It's not bad enough that this abomination's freakish arms and legs seem to jut out without any rhyme or reason, but did the artist have to distort Chester's face like that? It's for this reason that I am both sickened and enamored by this poster. Like all the prints in this post "Chester Burst" is available through the Gallery 1988 storefront and costs $25. Go get it!

"Dull Boyde" Art Print Rhys Cooper 12" x 18" $25 - Limited to 100 Inspired By: The Shining

"Ultra Vincent" Art Print Rhys Cooper 12" x 18" $25 - Limited to 100 Inspired By: A Clockwork Orange

I think these last two may be my favorite. Cooper managed to meld the sophisticated horror and absurdity of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining and A Clockwork Orange with the potty humor crassness of the Garbage Pail Kids. I guess it's not that huge a stretch since Art Spiegelman, the man behind the comic memoir Maus, also known as the only comic book to ever be honored with a Pulitzer Prize, is the genius who originally thought up the GPK while working at Topps (my brain exploded when I learned that). "Dull Boyde" and "Ultra Vincent" exemplify the fun that can be had when merging pop-culture and repurposing iconic imagery. And I love how Rhys has managed to recreate so much of what was special about the GPK, down to the "Peel Here" arrow and the dashes that outline the sticker boundary. These are great! "Dull Boyde" and "Ultra Vincent" are currently available through the Gallery 1988 website for $25 apiece. Both posters measure 12" x 18" and are limited to an edition of 100.

To learn more about Rhys Cooper be sure to visit his Studio Seppuku store and his Facebook page. If none of these posters float your boat there's a lot more than just these five available, so be sure to visit Gallery 1988 to see the rest. And as an FYI - I'll have a giveaway later this month for one of these prints. Yay! Free stuff!

Rhys Cooper's "From Dusk Till Dawn" Movie Posters

Tommy Good is at it again with another fun poster release, this time for the cult classic From Dusk Till Dawn. With only a quick glimpse of the artwork below you can immediately tell that Rhys was the right man for the job with his trademark splatter aesthetic in full effect.

From Dusk Till Dawn - Regular Edition

From Dusk Till Dawn - Bloodbath Variant Edition

I haven't seen this film in ages, but it's always interesting to go back to From Dusk because we get to see George Clooney in a ridiculous action romp before his name became synomynous with meaningful, thought provoking and important films, oh yeah, and we also got to witness Tarantino chewing up the scenery for a bit too. While this film is probably the least important in Tommy Good's growing film poster collection, at least in terms of From Dusk's place in film history (bet I made a few enemies just now), it's certainly one of their most playful. You've especially got to appreciate the pure ballsy-ness of the over-the-top bloodbath variant - I'm not sure I could think of a better poster for this film.

Rhys Cooper's From Dusk Till Dawn poster will be available through Tommy Good tomorrow (5/25) at a random time. Be sure to follow @ThisIsTommyGood for the exact release info.  Both posters measure 18" x 24" and are six-color screen prints. The regular edition is limited to 200, while the bloodbath variant is limited to 50. For additional Rhys Cooper artwork head over to his Studio Seppuku store. I have a feeling these will sell out quick so act fast and good luck!

Rhys Cooper's "A Clockwork Orange" Movie Posters

Alright, alright, so I guess I lied when I said no more Kubrick posters this week, but this is kind of a big deal and I just found out about it today. Tommy Good, the fine folks who handle all of the poster releases for Melbourne's Astor Theatre, have just announced their next release - A Clockwork Orange print by Rhys Cooper. Is your heart racing yet? I've already briefly (very briefly) explained my love for Kubrick's dystopian tour de force, so I won't delve to deeply into that this time around, but I did want to comment on the astonishing level of detail and complexity present in these prints. This design is just dripping with Cooper's trademark bloodletting splatter style artwork and can be a bit frightening to take in, but then again so can A Clockwork Orange.

A Clockwork Orange - Regular Edition

A Clockwork Orange - Variant Edition (Printed on Gold Foil Stock)

Is that Beethoven with a rather phallic looking mask? Yep. In case you couldn't tell just by looking at these posters, A Clockwork Orange is kind of a strange / brilliant / amazing movie. And as is often the case with his art, Rhys has packed a ton of stuff into this striking image, including a snake, a glass of milk laced with narcotics (no doubt from the Karova Milk Bar), a silhouette of the gang, and of course the aforementioned Beethoven bust, all set against a colorful page of sheet music. These posters seem to really capture the manic "ultra-violence" that is Alex's primary drug of choice. I'm really not sure which version I like better, the regular or the variant printed on gold foil stock. On the one hand, I tend to go with the less showy (and always cheaper) edition, but on the other hand, the garishness of the gold variant perfectly reflects Alex's bombastic personality. I'm also loving the title work Rhys did here. I especially appreciate the cog-within-a-cog transition he used to connect the "K" and the "O."

I highly recommend visiting Tommy Good, where you can find an excellent interview with the artist, but I wanted to excerpt the bit of the conversation that focused on his inspiration.

"[I've] always been a fan of Clockwork and one of the parts that fascinated me was Alex's relationship with his parents and how they had no idea what he was really like. How could you not be suss of a kid who has a combination lock on his bedroom door? He has a record player, images of Beethoven and his python under his bed, it is the real Alex who lives in there and kinda like his trophy room so that is the approach I took with the poster. Like a bedroom shelf."

Both 18" x 24" Clockwork Orange posters will be available for purchase at some point next week through the Tommy Good website / storefront. The gold foil variant is limited to an edition of 50, while the regular edition will be limited to 200, and both posters are signed and numbered. Be sure to sign up for their newsletter as well as follow @ThisIsTommyGood to get the exact date and time of the drop. Since these posters were printed by Tim Doyle's Nakatomi Inc. there's a good chance that they'll be available at some point down the road through Nakatomi, but you probably don't want to risk losing out. For additional Rhys Cooper artwork head over to his Studio Seppuku store. Finally, the only way I could properly end this post is with a quote from the film.

"There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milk Bar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova Milk Bar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence." - Alex

Rhys Cooper's "Saucy Jack" Art Print

Found this one by way of OMG Posters and am absolutely loving it. Rhys Cooper's "Saucy Jack" print is fantastic in all the right ways. Not only is Jack the Ripper the perfect subject for Cooper's signature splatterhouse style, everything just comes together to create a creepy, but classy snapshot of the Victorian serial killer.

Saucy Jack

I'd never heard of Under the Floorboards, but much like Dark City Galleries, if they continue to commission cool artwork like this, they'll have a fan for life in me. I wanted to call out how brilliant Jack the Ripper looks here - he seems to be the embodiment of calm and collected, with just a hint of deranged violent lunatic thrown in for good mix. The killer's bloody/demonic eyes are especially frightening, although he does look eerily like Daniel Day Lewis from Gangs of New York. My favorite touch is the violin bag of rather nefarious looking instruments of torture, and of course the insanely bloody hand he's raised to his top hat.

I'm a bit late to the dance on this one and unfortunately the the variant with red and white glow in the dark ink is already sold out, but amazingly the "Saucy Jack" version with white glow in the dark ink is still avaiable through the Under the Floorboards site. The print costs £25 (roughly $40), measures 18" x 24" and has an edition of 80. For those who may have missed the boat completely, fret not, for the rest of the posters (Under the Floorboards only had a portion of the run to sell) will be made available through Rhys Cooper's Facebook page. Good luck!

"Critters" Movie Poster by Rhys Cooper

Critters is for me, as I’m assuming it is for many others, a guilty pleasure that can only be sated by a collection of Crites and a case of devoured livestock. It’s a film that shouldn’t have worked, but somehow coalesced into some sort of perfect combination of humor, horror, schlock and molotov cocktails.

Critters

Rhys Cooper really earned his money this time.  He seems to have a way with monsters.  Need proof?  Just check out his Gremlins poster and you’ll be a believer.  His detailed line work creates a photo realistic look and yet completely brings out the chaos, anarchy and bloodlust that the Crites represent.  Rhys succeeds in every way with this poster - the space/star border, the quaint Kansas farm with the broken chicken wire and of course our blood thirsty friends, the Crites – it all just works.  Maybe this is sadistic of me but I’d love to see the Crites battle against the Tribbles.  I’m pretty sure the Crites would murder the Tribbles, still, it’s something I’d like to see.  Anyone with me?

Rhys Cooper’s Critters poster will be available through Mondo later today (it is past midnight afterall) for $40.  The poster measures 24” x 36”, is out of an edition of 135 and was screen printed with glow in the dark inks.

The movie is available on DVD, but not on Blu-ray.  Come on Blu!  Be sure to check out Rhys Cooper’s Studio Seppuku store and his Facebook page when you have a chance.
