Heads Up: Jay Shaw's Universal Monster Movie Posters

Mondo Gallery's recent Universal Monster show has already given us a ton of amazing artwork. From Martin Ansin's jaw-dropping Frankenstein to Laurent Durieux's five incredible posters, I would have been content with what Mondo had already given us. But wait, there's more! It turns out Posterocalypse favorite Jay Shaw also created some fantastic looking monster movie prints and (lucky for you and I) they'll be available through Mondo at a random time later today!

The Mummy Movie Poster
Jay Shaw
18" x 24" (Screen Print) - Numbered
$35 - Limited to 175

Shaw's Mummy print is absolutely wonderful. It captures the somber tone of the film and is jam-packed with tons of tiny details. Case in point: it took me at least three long stares before I even noticed the face formed by the falling sand. Bonkers! Shaw's poster measures 18" x 24" and is limited to an edition of 175.

Creature from the Black Lagoon Movie Poster
Jay Shaw
18" x 24" (Screen Print) - Numbered
$35 - Limited to 175

I'm torn between Jay's Creature from the Black Lagoon print and his Mummy poster. Thankfully, no one has a gun pointed at my head forcing me to choose a favorite. (Wouldn't that be crazy, though?) Both are exceptional, and offer up great interpretations of the films while wholly remaining Jay Shaw originals. The Creature from the Black Lagoon poster will be available on Thursday (11/8) for $35 at a random time.

The Wolf Man Movie Poster
Jay Shaw
18" x 24" (Screen Print) - Numbered
$35 - Limited to 175

And last, but certainly not least, we have Shaw's The Wolf Man. What better way to celebrate the Universal classic than by focusing on Chaney Jr.'s hairy mug? This poster reminds me just how amazing Jack Pierce and his exceptional monster make-up was and still is. The Wolf Man print will cost $35 and is limited to an edition of 175. It will be available sometime on Thursday (11/8).

And wouldn't you know it, the cracker jacks in Austin who kick started this whole poster movement thing are behind it. I'm talking about Mondo's Universal Monsters show, and boy have I got some great news for you. Laurent Durieux's classic monster movie prints will be available through Mondo at a random time later today. Say, what? Yes, yes, you heard me correctly!
