Dan McCarthy - "The Lost World" Poster for Mondo Tees


Ever since the end of SXSW there has been chatter around the internet about a new "The Lost World" poster released by Mondo Tees, finally an image has surfaced.  A few artists recently commented that they had been working on dinosaur prints, including big names like Emek, though this hardly seems his style and looks more like something Dan McCarthy would produce, being that it's trees and dinosaurs.  This image is off of twitter and the quality isn't really what I would hope to post, but seeing as it's making the rounds I thought everyone should be updated.  Sadly I don't know the artist or the edition numbers, but one could bet that if Mondo does have any of these posters left, they will be up for sale soon at their store.  I'll update when I find out more information but here it is, the first Posterheads exclusive.  Thanks to TrevorTrujillo via Twitter.

OMGposters' Mitch has confirmed it's Dan McCarthy, it's also pretty simple math.

theBungaloo - Animals Should Act Like People


theBungaloo, based in St. Louis, recently came to my attention due to these show posters for  Appleseed Cast and Circa Survive.  The hand pulled screen prints are pretty inexpensive and the colors are quite vivid.  I spent a while clicking around his Etsy store, and was quite impressed.  It wasn't so much his show posters that caught my eye, but his older art prints.  I enjoyed his prints focusing on animals acting like people and his hilarious descriptions of the pieces.  Here are a few of my favorites, and if you have some time check out his other work.

Branden Otto - "Candidates" Secretly part of a Diptych?

Branden Otto has something up his sleeve.

There's rumbling and chatter amongst those who were able to snag his sold out "Candidates" LOST print when it dropped on Tuesday.  People who have contacted Branden since it's sell out have been let in on a secret.  It seems that this LOST inspired work was always intended on being a diptych, with "Candidates" being panel 1.

In cryptic LOST fashion there are more questions than answers.  A few people are claiming that along with the arrival of the "Candidates" prints buyers will have an exclusive look into random  corner of second panel.  If this is the case hypothetically every 4th tube would have a different piece of the second print.  Perhaps with your help we can put them together and get some idea what's going to on the other half, of this diptych.

I'm hoping the panel continues right, and we get to see the (still standing at the time of the scene) four toed statue; and there better be a Desmond, brother!

Check back here for updates when my preview corner arrives.

Zoltron - Fantastic Mr. Zoltron


Zoltron has been doing Primus art and show posters for years, but his last movie poster for "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" caused quite a stir, selling out instantly and grabbing huge prices on ebay. This Fantastic Mr. Fox print was for the Red Vic Movie house, and it's set to go up on his site sometime in the morning (PST) hours on Friday. I know I'll be trying for one.

DRMIKEY - (LOST) Acrylics / Prints


I know some people are sick of the LOST prints, but hang in there it's only going to be another two months, and I can't get enough of them.  Stumbled upon this guy via a LOST twitter I was following during the official print releases and some of his stuff looks pretty good.  His name is DRMIKEY and he's only been releasing prints for a few months, feel free to check out his blog.  Most of his stuff is pretty cheap, unless you'd prefer one of the original acrylics.  Only two of these LOST acrylics have prints, but you can change that by requesting he create them for the rest.

SXSW - Prints from the Best


Sadly I wasn't able to make it down to SXSW for Flatstock, and because of this I felt I missed out on some great posters/prints.  For example, Daniel Danger's "The Senator's Daughter" and the rumored "The Lost World" and "Waking Sleeping Beauty" posters from Mondo Tees. (of which photos still haven't surfaced online)  

But, just because you missed out on SXSW/Flatstock doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the posters, some are starting to surface online.  The first two I managed to come across are by The Small Stakes and Jay Ryan.

Masthay - Making it Official with Umphrey's


A. J. Masthay really caught my attention with his unofficial Phish posters, which continue to get better and better, and half the time much more to my liking than what they're selling inside the venue.  Over the past few months he's been putting out official prints for Umphrey's McGee, and I think these are just spectacular.  It's nice to see him moving up from The McLovin's to a more popular band, hopefully soon we'll get to buy one of his prints at a Phish merchandise table.  For now he's got five new Umphrey's McGee posters, three of which are his first triptych since his unofficial Phish Festival 8 triptych.  He also has a new art print.

Jim Pollock - Magic Hat "Vinyl" Print


Famed Phish artist Jim Pollock ended up doing a label for Burlington Vermont's Magic Hat Brewing Company, which later turned into a benefit print for charity.  These prints were originally sold only at the brewery; after they were added to the Magic Hat website and sold out instantly.  However, some extra copies must have been found because they are back in stock!  One of the cheapest Jim Pollock prints you're going to find around, and it's for charity.  Get one before they're sold out again, and for good this time.

Us and Them - Mystery Tube


I have heard a lot about Us and Them studios and liked a good amount of their work especially their vibrant art prints, though I never got around to picking any up.  If your experience with them is similar now might be a good time to pick up a few random prints at a great price.  According to gigposters here's what you'd have to look forward to in the Mystery Tube.

"1 large poster (18 x 24" +), 1 large art print (18 x 24"+) and 2 medium posters (12.5 x 19"). All prints will be picked at random! If you are a repeat customer, let us know what prints you already have in your collection, and we will make sure not to include those in your tube."

Nate Duval - Keeping the Streak Alive


Nate Duval has been putting out some great work recently, and his new concert posters and art prints are no exception. After doing what was the fan favorite Trey Anastasio Poster for the New York City show on the winter tour he ran the musical gamut to put out top quality work for Circa Survive, Keller Williams, and two for Spoon.   Not to mention a new Gomez print, which I like to think of as unofficially the fifth print in his plant-head concert poster series, along with last year's Gomez, Andrew Bird, Mike Gordon, and Monsters of Folk.

So I know there are a lot of poster blogs on the interwebs these days, but really, what's the harm with one more?
