Mondo unveiled 12 new posters and original artwork from Martin Ansin and Kevin Tong at their gallery in Austin, Texas on March 14, 2014. Ansin's pieces included Robocop, Flash Gordon (the 1938 serial and the 1980 movie), Alien, and Prometheus. Tong's work featured Hannibal, The Wizard of Oz, Aliens, Psycho, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Upstream Color, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
THE EVENT
Above: The Mondo Gallery exterior at 4115 Guadalupe Street, and the second half of the line formed across the street. (The first half is on the sidewalk in front of the gallery.)
Below: Martin Ansin discusses his Robocop prints. Both Ansin and Kevin Tong greeted fans and offered unique insights into their works and design processes. Ansin pointed out that the colors on his Robocop regular and variant are meant to mirror alternating police siren colors. Tong revealed a secret about hidden variant colors in random Upstream Color prints.
Everyone else who has no problem with a fright flick that feels like “Lizzie McGuire” decided to get dark with a PG-13 Halloween special should do just fine.
