Cool and Collected - collecting pop culture memories and memorabilia
A general discussion of collecting cool things, such as vintage and modern toys, comic books, ephemera.
Poster by Tom Whalen. 24″x36″ screen print. Hand numbered. Edition of 540. $50 I love Tom Whalen’s work and this Disney Pixar Toy Story poster is one of my favorites so far. I haven’t been trying for the Disney series of posters, primarily because I’m not a huge fan of the movies and wouldn’t really [...]
I knew it! Who else would Mondo call upon to develop the fully-assembled Avengers poster than Tyler Stout, and boy is it a beauty… I will absolutely be trying for one of these in tomorrow’s drop, but if I miss out, I’ll be okay since I will be channeling all my Mondo kharma to the [...]
Illustrator-extraordinaire, Tom Whalen, is a busy guy! It seems like every day, a new piece of his work zooms around the interwebs. Today’s dose of Mr. Whalen comes to us from Dark Hall Mansion, which strikes gold (er, yellow) again with their latest release of art prints, this time celebrating the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine. This is first [...]
The final posters in Mondo’s Avengers series were revealed today, and the Avengers have officially assembled. While each of these posters is fantastic in its own right, I really wish Mondo would have gone with one artist for the series. It would have been great to see a series similar to Olly Moss’ or Tyler [...]
The fine folks at Dark Hall Mansion have been putting out some pretty amazing prints lately. Remember Tom Whalen’s Great Pumpkin posters and those Snoopy posters by Laurent Durieux? Well, they have raised the bar even higher with this week’s release of officially licensed GIGANTOR prints by Laurent Durieux… “Gigantor: The Lab” Standard Edition of 150, 18 [...]
Later this month, Heritage Auctions will sell a collection of incredibly rare vintage movie posters that were discovered at an estate sale in Berwyck, Pennsylvania. The posters were stuck together with wallpaper paste, since at one time, they were probably glued to the wall of a movie house. The staff at Heritage had to have been amazed [...]
The other day I showed off Mondo’s Beneath the Planet of the Apes poster, and now, for your viewing enjoyment is the other POTA poster I was able to score… It’s hard for me to express exactly how excited I was to see the Planet of the Apes poster series when Mondo announced them. All [...]
The Avengers have assembled! What are they looking at, anyway? And why aren’t any of them wearing their helmets? I smell the work of the Hollywood agents. Sure this poster isn’t the most amazing poster ever, but I’m beginning to get more than a little excited about this movie. The poster might look like a [...]
My latest Mondo posters recently arrived and I thought I would show some detailed photos which would explain why I get so excited over their prints. Last month, Mondo released a set of six Planet of the Apes posters, something I have been dreaming of for a long time. I grabbed a Conquest poster on [...]
I came across this poster the other day and was blown away. It’s.. it’s… beautiful. I need to track down one of these for the permanent collection of my future “Simians in Cinema” museum.
