John Carpenter’s The Thing Screen Prints by Rafa Orrico x Mondo

John Carpenter’s The Thing Screen Prints by Rafa Orrico x Mondo

Today, Mondo is releasing two new posters from artist Rafa Orrico for John Carpenter’s seminal 1982 nihilistic sci-fi creature feature, The Thing! As Mondo explained about Rafa, “We love his work. There’s a strong sense of design, as well as a certain raw and alien sensibility that work in great harmony. Often when we’re collaborating on something together, it’s hard to pick a favorite among the bunch, so we decide not to.”

The Thing (Version 1) and The Thing (Version 2) by Rafa Orrico are 18”x24” hand numbered screen prints. Each is limited to 165 pieces and retails for $55.  These rad movie posters will go on sale at 11am CT on Thursday, September 15th, at MondoShop.com via The Drop.

The Thing 3D Lenticular Movie Poster by Drew Struzan x Vice Press

The Thing 3D Lenticular Movie Poster by Drew Struzan x Vice Press

Vice Press is teaming up with Bottleneck Gallery to release a brand new 3D Lenticular Edition of Drew Struzan’s iconic movie poster for John Carpenter’s The Thing! As Vice Press explained, “Well known to John Carpenter and cinema fans alike, Drew’s iconic imagery for The Thing comes to life in these amazing lenticular prints. We’ve worked closely with the original source images to ensure that the art is replicated to the highest quality”.

The Thing 3D Lenticular Movie Poster by Drew Struzan x Vice Press

There are two styles of 3D Lenticular Movie Posters being produced by Vice Press and Bottleneck Gallery: a thinner (1mm), flexible PET lenticular print mounted on dense paper backing. This option is more flexible, lighter, and thinner. Then there’s a thick lenticular print (4mm), akin to plexi-glass, called polystyrene. BNG calls this one Lenticular Plex for ease of differentiation. This option looks and feels like a sheet of plexiglass but with a lenticular lens. As with all lenticular prints, they are best viewed from about 4 to 6 feet away from the subject. This allows the lens to do what it does best and gives the best 3D effect.

The Thing 3D Lenticular Movie Poster by Drew Struzan x Vice Press

The Thing by Drew Struzan is a 24”x36” hand numbered 3D Lenticular Print and will be available in a Movie Poster Edition and an Art Print Edition. Each version will be available in the 3D Lenticular and the 3D Lenticular Plex.  The 1mm 3D Lenticular of each edition will be limited to 300 pieces and retail for £75, while the 4mm 3D Lenticular of each edition will be limited to 150 pieces and retail for £150.  All four posters will go on sale at 12pm EST on Thursday, February 25th, at Vice-Press.com.

John Carpenter’s The Thing Screen Print by 100% Soft x Mondo

John Carpenter’s The Thing Screen Print by 100% Soft x Mondo

Later today, Mondo will be releasing this kawaii cute movie poster for John Carpenter’s iconic horror film, The Thing, by 100% Soft! As Mondo explained, “In this new poster design by 100% Soft, aka Los Angeles-based artist Truck Torrence, you get a delightful juxtaposition between the horror and violence of the film filtered through Truck’s brilliant pop art/kawaii style. Like his earlier posters for Alien and Die Hard, Truck’s bird’s eye view and rendering of the many horrors that befall Outpost 31 will never get old.”

“For me, there is John Carpenter, and then everyone else. I’m hard-pressed to think of anyone that shaped my pop culture as much as Carpenter did when I was growing up. In a career littered with greats, The Thing, probably Carpenter’s best movie, is still as potent for me now as it was when it terrified me as a kid. But for a poster? There’s a big challenge: Let’s take one of the starkest, most bleakest movies ever and make it cute. Do you want to run from Spider-Norris or hug him? Maybe Outpost 31 isn’t so bad after all!” – 100% Soft

The Thing by 100% Soft is a 36”x24” hand numbered screen print. Limited to 275 pieces, it will go on sale at a random time today, Thursday, August 6th, at MondoShop.com via The Drop for $50.
