My top 10 Prints and posters of 2014
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.
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.
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.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Just scored these two bad ass prints by Aaron Horkey today!
Mondo Mystery Movie 11 (MMM XI)
This past weekend I went to LA for the Mondo Mystery Movie! The movie was Die Hard which people had been guess since day one. The artist was Laurent Durieux and here is the poster! I got the metal version which looks more amazing every time I look at it.
When entering the theater they said to take your shoes off to respect the historical theater. When entering to get to your seats they had spread glass in the aisles. Looked really cool and a great way to add some showman ship!
Reynold Brown, amazing poster designer
I bid on this amazing poster by Reynold Brown but did not win.
Reynold Brown is probably one of my favorite poster artist. Reynold's worked in a time when his posters where almost always better/bigger than the movie. The monsters where never as big or gruesome as the posters depicted. You probably have never heard of him, but you definitely have seen his work. I've posted a few of his posters below.
The Brain that Wouldn't Die is a pretty good flick. I'm not sure if I was just in the right mood but I really enjoyed the movie. Yes her body is under the table with a hole for her head but its still a good movie.
Its not a Reynold Brown but I do own this gem from Mondo done by Francesco Francavilla
Eric White
One of my favorit paitners had a new gallery oppening this past weekend in LA. I really wanted to go but I the 49ers where calling me.

breakinggifs
breakinggifs.com has a big announcement May 10th.
Paul Sheer has created this website so he can claim to have the greatest breaking bad gif site on the internet and I think he has won. When he did something very similar with the TV show Lost they had some great work for sale by great artist, Olly Moss, Tyler Stout, Daniel Danger Ken Taylor, and Kevin Tong. I personally never watched lost so I am a little more excited about this opportunity to buy some Breaking Bad art. Breaking Bad to me is one of the best shows on tv right now. It continually gets better each and every season, which not all shows can say that.
Check out the video down below
Here are some examples of the Lost art.
Olly Moss's Locke's Secret
Kevin Tong's The Hatch
Ken Taylor's The Smoke Monster
Tyler Stout's Lost Print
