Over the coming months, along with Bottleneck Gallery, we will be continuing the series, working with a number of artists to celebrate the classic Universal Monsters films, characters and actors that brought them to life,

The series will include Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Phantom of the Opera, and Creature From The Black Lagoon.

This Tuesday Vice Press and Bottleneck Gallery will be launching a brand new officially licensed collection; UNIVERSAL MONSTERS! We will will be bringing this series to life with our first release Frankenstein by Anthony Petrie.

Available in both a Regular and Variant edition, these 24x36 screenprinted posters by Anthony display both the fragility of Frankenstein’s Monster and the obsessive nature of the mind that saw his creation.

We will also be re-opening our store, listing all in stock prints we have. We will be limiting the frequency of our shipping but intend to get out all orders within 4 weeks. If your order is more urgent, please just let us know.

Frankenstein by Anthony Petrie goes on sale at 12pm EST/ 5pm BST (U.K) on Tuesday the 19th of May at Vice Press and Bottleneck Gallery under license from Universal City Studios LLC.

Was able to get on Vice and at the very end, my order got cancelled :/
I contacted support and they said 'suspicious orders got cancelled' and 'the demand for this one was high'. all great and everything but I'm now out of chances of getting this print. The artist only seems to be shipping to the US due to USPS sending back international orders apparently, so there's that. Rather disappointing, I really had my hopes set on this collection. I love the Universal Monsters!

I will get my hands on this... One way or another...
 
@WaxWeazle I took a look on twitter, doesn't seem like the order got cancelled according to the Vice Press guys just seems you were a bit slow to the checkout. It does happen occasionally where you have an item in cart but it sells out before you get to purchase. I've sent you a PM
 
@WaxWeazle it it sucks for you to have missed out on this. Hopefully you can score one of the future drops.

I had carted this via Vicepress but it sold out when I went to pay. Luckily I took a look at bottlenecks site and managed to snag a copy of the variant. For some reason it was going in and out of stock (possibly they were cancelling bot orders)

We’re heading to the opera today with our pals at Vice Press, and then re-visiting a creepy castle in the Bavarian Alps with the newest entries in our Universal Monsters collection: Chris Weston’s “The Phantom of the Opera” and Paul Mann’s “Frankenstein”!

1925’s The Phantom of the Opera, upon its initial release, adapted a haunting and tragic figure’s story to the big screen in an unbelievable fashion, in large part to actor Lon Chaney’s dedication and artistic genius in the role of The Phantom. Chris’ print thrusts The Phantom to center-stage and shines a spotlight on the incredible costume and makeup work from the film.

Paul’s piece for Frankenstein features a classic movie poster composition, mixing stunning imagery of Dr. Frankenstein’s monster and bold movie credits. Paul’s portrayal of the monster offers both the horror and innate sadness presented by Dr. Frankenstein’s monster in the film, and we’re ecstatic about this representation of the movie!

Chris and Paul’s prints will be available TODAY @ 12PM ET on our homepage!

International buyers can head over to Vice Press to purchase the print directly from their online store @ 5PM BST!

Would love to get my hands on the Gold Variants of The Mummy, Frankenstein, and Creature from the Black Lagoon, but with everything coming so close together, it's just not something I can spare, sadly enough :(
 
sometimes you gotta let some things pass. you can also find a lot of posters later on aftermarket for not a significant markup
 
On Tuesday the 26th of January Vice Press and Bottleneck Gallery will be launching a new series of limited edition Universal Monsters movie posters and art prints by British artist Greg Staples.

Greg Staples is best known for his work on British comic 2000AD and artwork for Magic the Gathering and here is what he had to say on the release –

'For me the classic Universal Monster films have been engrained into me since I was a child, not only with their legendary visual design and makeup but because they are almost not of this world. To me they are the purest form of escapism and something that simply couldn’t be made in this day and age. I decided to approach these illustrations a little differently by choosing to try to add a bit of realism, hopefully to capture a small part of their character so wonderfully portrayed by Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. This really was an honour.'

Working closely alongside Universal and the estate of Bela Lugosi, this officially licensed series kicks off with pieces for Dracula and Frankenstein and feature Greg’s amazing paintings that beautifully capture Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in their iconic roles. Both versions of the art are available in a regular edition movie poster in an edition of 195 priced £45, and a variant edition art print in an edition of 175 and priced £50. Both prints are 24x36 inches. There will also be smaller art prints available featuring Greg’s original paintings.

These releases will be available from both Vice-Press.com and BottleneckGallery.com at 5pm GMT (UK Time) and 12pm EST and ship worldwide

Our Universal Monsters Collection comes back to life with Vance Kelly, and Matt Griffin takes us back to Frank Herbert’s Dune!

Bride of Frankenstein is the first sequel in the Universal Monsters movieverse, furthering the story of the Frankenstein family and the monster. Vance’s piece focuses on the timeless design of the Bride, while neatly conveying her creation at the bottom of the image.

Matt’s interior illustrations in the recent deluxe edition of Dune, the literary series, captured our imagination and our interest, and helped get us more excited over the surge of interest in Frank Herbert’s sci-fi magnum opus! We worked with Matt to adapt his illustrations as prints, and we hope these prints help stoke the fires of Dune enthusiasm.

Vance and Matt’s prints will be available for purchase Wednesday (2/3) @ 12PM ET on our homepage, Bottleneckgallery.com.

Juan Ramos joins the ultimate monster mash with two new entries in our Universal Monsters Collection!

We’re teaming up with the weird reptilian lagoon gods over at Vice Press to continue creating memorable Universal Monsters prints, and Juan’s newest pieces for Frankenstein and Creature from the Black Lagoon are fiendishly good. Juan’s monsters loom over humans as large, powerful, and wholly cool. Juan’s experimentations with lighting in his pieces often bring about fantastic results, and this time he’s crafted two classic creature creations.

Juan’s prints will be available for purchase Thursday (2/18) @ 12PM ET on our homepage, Bottleneckgallery.com!

When we first kicked off our Universal Monsters series with Bottleneck Gallery, Paul Mann was at the top of our list of artists we wanted to with. He delivered exactly what we imagined with his poster for Frankenstein, and now continues the series with his take on The Mummy!

Released in collaboration with Bottleneck Gallery, Paul's officially licensed poster captures Boris Karloff's take on Ardeth Bay/ Imhotep from the 1933 classic. To truly capture Paul's stunning painting, we are once again releasing this piece as a lithograph print on 300gsm archival paper.

The Mummy by Paul Mann will be available exclusively at Vice-Press.com from 6pm GMT/ 1pm EST on Tuesday the 9th of March.

This Friday, we’re teaming up with Vice Press and Kevin Wilson; Ben Harman gets us attached with a new Spidey print; and JJ Lendl hits us with some wonderfully Canadian X-Men!

We’re excited to pick up our Universal Monsters Collection with Vice Press as Halloween slowly approaches! Kevin’s newest entry in the series shows off the eerie Creature in their natural habitat. Kevin’s work creates moody lighting, and the Creature looks as cool and terrifying as ever.

All of these prints will be available on Friday (9/10) @ 12PM ET on our homepage, Bottleneckgallery.com!

Alongside our fiendish friends at Vice Press, we’re releasing Kevin Wilson’s poster for Frankenstein and Peter Diamond’s print for The Mummy!

Kevin’s piece focuses on a solemn Monster, before everything falls to pieces in the story. Kevin’s spectacularly chosen color palette and hues help create a quiet and peaceful scene, despite the circumstances surrounding the Monster and his life.

Peter’s Mummy piece plays off so many integral symbols from the film, incorporating some intriguing symmetry and pattern work throughout. Peter seems to have unraveled the secrets to the film’s uniqueness with his newest print!

Kevin and Peter’s prints will be available for purchase Thursday (1/20) @ 12PM ET on our homepage, Bottleneckgallery.com!

With the weather warming up here on the East Coast, we’ve decided to dip our toes in water with some aquatic-centric prints–what could go wrong?


First up, Alistair Little takes a bite out of a Spielberg classic with his print for Jaws. Alistair is a master of motion and has created an isolated scene full of pure adrenaline and chaos. We love his zoomed in approach to Bruce taking on the crew of The Orca.


Next, we have Vance Kelly’s take on Creature from the Black Lagoon. Vance presents a towering and terrifyingly cool Creature with his classical approach to a monster movie poster. Vance’s color usage is mostly confined to shades and tones, making this piece all the more impressive!


Both prints are released in collaboration with Vice Press.


Alistair and Vance’s prints will be available for purchase on Tuesday (4/19) @ 12PM ET on our homepage, Bottleneckgallery.com!
