Ignore me: I'm just sour because I haven't seen most of this year's Oscar nominees. But I have seen these new posters from Mondo and they're pretty dope.

Mondo artist Ken Taylor supplied the gatefold image for the upcoming Blu-ray collection which will celebrate 20 years of Quentin Tarantino doing his thing on the big screen. Love him or hate him, Tarantino's had an impact, and Taylor's art celebrates the sprawling filmography of the "Reservoir Dogs" and "Django Unchained" director.
Tarantino's something of a fan with the Drafthouse/Mondo folks, a regular at the Austin Drafthouse theater where he had one of his early "Inglourious Basterds" screenings back in '09.

Poster and t-shirt house Mondo is in the business of reminding that movie posters remain an art form. For every half dozen cheapie 'shopped "floating head" poster inflicted upon the multiplex set, Mondo has work by artists like Jock, Olly Moss, or Daniel Danger.
They feel elaborately designed, these art pieces honoring classic and modern films (and occasionally TV). Without having to work towards the lowest common denominator, star-centric image, the artists commissioned are able to strike the perfect balance between honoring the most familiar elements of the source material (consider the period appropriate font used in Francesco Francavilla's Creature From the Black Lagoon poster below) while still being able to create something playful that extends the spirit of the original work (of course the poster for Adventure Time should be a yearbook photo).
And have you seen these things? They have a texture to them that the usual glossy one-sheet doesn't. Part of that is the process: according to Mondo Creative Director Justin Ishmael, because of the printing method Mondo uses to create its limited run of posters, each one is unique (albeit in the most barely perceptible ways).
But I'll let Ishmael himself talk about the company—its roots and some of the dream projects on the horizon for the Austin-based company.

If you haven’t heard of Mondo, the art print (and more) division of the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas, then it’s time to geek out about them. Mondo had the bright idea to pair gig poster art and design to movie posters, and the result has been a steady stream of impressive, limited-run art that is coveted by geeks around the globe. These days, Mondo prints are announced on Twitter, and sell out within seconds, just like their recent Avengers posters have been doing.
But how did it all get started? We spoke to Creative Director Justin Ishmael at Mondo’s brand-new gallery in Austin during SXSW this year, and he talks about all things Mondo from the beginning, to the turning point, and straight up to right now. Read on for the full interview, and then browse through the Mondo Archive where we guarantee you’ll find something to drool over. Read More...
