Check out Rich Kelly’s poster for Big Trouble in Little China!
If you’re a fan of ole Jack Burton and his Porkchop Express, or you like John Carpenter’s cult classic or you just think that Rich Kelly’s poster is the bomb, have I got news for you?
Why, yes, I do! You can see a bigger version or even buy a limited edition print of BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA by Rich Kelly at Mondoshop.
If you follow Patric Reynold’s Twitter, you’ve already seen the masterpiece above! If you don’t follow him, Reynold’s Sean Connery in From Russia with Love commission should give you enough reason to start!
The art above is a plate from Howard Chaykin’s 1976 portfolio illustrating Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes in A Study in Scarlet. You can see a bigger version of the art above and the other illustrations from the portfolio if you click over to The Bristol Board.
Wow! What great memories this brings back. Artist portfolios were really popular back in the 70’s and into the 80’s. It was always a thrill when a new one was announced. And truth be told, I was thrilled to see The Bristol Board posting Chaykin’s Sherlock Holmes portfolio.
Remember when we talked about Stephan Franck’s new Kickstarter called PALOMINO? Well, Tommy Lee Edwards created the art above to support Franck’s comic.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

How about this limited edition First Blood print by Oliver Barrett? Barrett actually did two versions. The one above has a print run of 82. There’s another version with a different color scheme and it has a 300 print edition. You can see larger versions of both editions at Mondoshop.com.
Check out Pippo a CGI Animated Short Film by Chris Keller. Here’s Keller with an short intro…
In a bleak world that has lost its sense for joy and wonder, an old clown reminisces about better days.
Pippo is primarily a mood piece and a cinematic metaphor for how I increasingly feel about our world. The film’s unique style was achieved by combining miniature photography with CGI.
Check this out! It is Kelsey Shannon’s cover for The Expendables Go to Hell graphic novel. We told you about the project here and shared Dave Dorman’s cover painting here.
I’ve been fortunate to get sketches from both Kelsey and Dave for my Stallone sketch collection. And of course I pre-ordered the EGtH graphic novel (Kelsey cover).
Speaking of the Kelsey Shannon cover, you can see a larger version by clicking on the art above.

If you like Daryl Joyce’s Dawn of the Dead poster, then you’ll probably want to click over to Alternate Movie Poster Movement where you can see a larger version plus mall-sized versions of Joyce’s Night of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead posters.
Heck, if you’re really diggin’ Joyce’s art why not click over to his gallery!
Dan Panosian is one of those rare artists that never disappoints. This Wolverine art by Dan is just one example. You can see a larger version here.
Matt Stevens is a talented designer and illustrator who came up with the fun (and cool) idea of turning good movies into “old books”. Above is a taste. You can see them all at Matt’s site.
Marv from Frank Miller’s Sin City is perhaps my favorite comic book character. Danny Earls’ rendition of the big mug is spot on.
Stephan Franck is back with a new Kickstarter called PALOMINO. Franc describes it as a Neo Noir Graphic Novel Set In LA’s Country Music Clubs.
The year is 1981. The American Century is running on fumes, but the end isn’t anywhere in sight.
At the center of PALOMINO is a unique father-daughter relationship. Eddie Lang’s an ex-cop turned working musician with big dreams, but dreams don’t pay the rent. So Eddie reluctantly works as a private investigator to provide for his teenage daughter, Lisette.
Eddie and Lisette share an unbreakable bond and a dry sense of humor. But they’re stuck.
They’re haunted by a terrible loss and an unsolved crime that looms large over their lives. They’re running out of time to fix their family.
And just as things seem at a stalemate, a new murder case upends their lives.
If this sounds like something you’d like check out Stephen Franc’s Palomino Kickstarter. I’m in.
Tony Stella has created a poster worthy of the classic movie Spartacus. Although we’re not about to die (we hope), Tony Stella, we salute you!
