Here is the list of prints and posters that I think are top notch for 2014. Some I own and the ones I don't, I want to own. Since a few prints from some private commision groups weren't done yet I couln't not post here. A certain Evil Dead print I had in mind to make the list.
Edit: I just realized I own all these prints. I have a problem
Ken Taylor's Alice in Wonderland print was part of the Mondo Nothing's Impossible Gallery event. There were some good piece in the show but for me this was the best of them all. The color is person are so vibrant and work very well together. AiW is one of my all time favorite disney movies so this print was a must have for my collection.
One of the first solo shows for Mondo of 2014 was Laurent Durieux. His solo show was announced at the Mondo Mystery Movie which I was lucky enough to be at. You could tell people weren't to excited about the poster Durieux did for MMMXI. After his solo show a few months later his work started commanding higher prices. His Forbidden Planet poster isn't his most commercially successful from his solo show but by far my favorite.
2014 I started changing my taste in prints. I have been getting into more and more art prints as appose to Movie prints. Eelus's Summoning on the right was a big reason. I was lucky enough to be in the amazing commission group that made this print possible. With the success of Summoning Eelus created Conjuring on the right. I had fast hand on the day of the Conjuring drop and scored one. Really excited to own this set. One of my priorities is to frame these two prints.
Blade Runner!!!
I got insanely lucky on this mondo drop. I was lucky enough to score the variant and the reg! This is a bit of a stretch since I haven't seen this print in person yet, but it makes my list. Horkey is amazing. Need to get his Pan's Labyrinth print this year.
My first Roamcouch was this print Revolution and Rainbow Inc./Brooklyn Bridge. The above is my favorite of the two.
Equity was my first Chuck Sperry big purchase. I grabbed the wood edition of 25 at the Pop Époque – The Art of Chuck Sperry Art Show at Firehouse 8. I had the pleasure of talking to him about this print. He said he wanted to make something that was a little more affordable for everyone. The cost was $300 but compared to some other prints not a bad deal.
Laurent Durieux's Back to the Future series is pretty damn good! I stood in line at Mondo-Con longer then I care to say for the BttF 3 Variant. Anyone want to trade their Bttf 1&2 Variants for my reg set?
Now local artist to me Ben Eine! First print of his and it is so amazing in person. Printed on hand torn paper with a glossy finish. I may need to frame this in 2015.
12 Color hand pulled screen print with UV screen on 90# Coventry Rag
Edition of 50
Signed and Numbered
Hand torn Deckled edges.
From the same show as the Alice in Wonderland this was my second favorite. Rich Kelly's Sword in the Stone. Im pretty happy to have been able to sore both the prints I wanted from that show for a decent price. I picked this one up as an AP from Kelly's site.
Let me know what your top prints of 2014 were.
