Evil Dead II by Graham Humphreys.
I'm very impressed with how this screenprint turned out.

@justboy it looks nice, but I don't know if this is something I would frame and want hanging on my wall, given the middle finger and all but maybe that is just me

I might have a bit of difficulty convincing the wife that it can make one of the walls.
I might need a special cover for it!
Finally I got my first Mondo print. I'm really proud of that, because it's not only top-notch quality (not used to that), but also one of my favourite films of the year - never been saying that about an Austrian film.

Mitch Putnam's Top 10 Posters of 2015
Dec 29, 2015
BADLANDS by Tomer Hanuka
We usually try not to repeat many of the same posters on our lists, but Tomer Hanuka’s Badlands was a favorite of the entire team, so we wanted to commend it four times over. We can’t get enough of working with Tomer, he constantly keeps us on our toes (in the best way possible). We have a lot more coming from him next year, we can’t wait.
THE BROOD by Sam Wolfe Connelly
Getting to work more with painter Sam Wolfe Connelly has been one of my biggest joys of 2015. Sam’s talent is immeasurable, and he’s starting to become more and more comfortable with screenprinting as a medium. Oh, and he’s still in his 20s, so there’s another thing for all of us to feel inadequate about.
COOTIES by Jay Shaw and Jason Edmiston
Our very own Jay Shaw worked with painter Jason Edmiston to turn his Cooties one sheet into a screenprinted Mondo poster. I always secretly had my fingers crossed that we could release a version of this, as it perfectly captures that nostalgic 80s VHS cover aesthetic. Jason is a master of color separations these days, so the final product is a stunner. Proud to have this one out there.
JURASSIC PARK by Dan McCarthy
We have all been huge Dan McCarthy fans for the better part of a decade now, so it’s always an absolute honor to work with him. We try to limit our begging to properties that really fit his aesthetic, and it’s hard to find something more fitting than Jurassic Park. Classic McCarthy dinosaur drawings for old-school poster fans. This is why I got into posters in the first place.
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD by Kilian Eng
When we saw Fury Road, our collective hats blew way, way, way off. As we often do with our favorite science fiction films, we approached Swedish illustrator Kilian Eng to create a bright, kinetic, exciting poster. Rarely do posters FEEL so much like the movie, this one nailed it.
MULHOLLAND DRIVE by Kevin Tong
I remember when image one came in, I said out loud, “This is the best thing Kevin has ever done.” If you follow his work, you know that’s saying a lot, but I stand behind this statement. The rendering is so lush, so meticulous, you can tell that thousands of hours have been logged to get to this look. It’s also probably the most modern screenprint we released all year. Maybe all film posters will look like this fifty years from now.
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES by Jock
This poster definitely split our fanbase down the center, but I’m strongly on the “Love” side of the faultline. It’s pure TMNT nostalgia, so if you are not a fan of this film or the franchise, I imagine this poster looks like an ad for a personal pan pizza movie promotion. That said, us Turtles fans are beyond stoked to have a poster that looks like an ad for a personal pan pizza movie promotion.
THANOS by We Buy Your Kids
When it comes to the best of Australia’s We Buy Your Kids in 2015, it was pretty much a tie between this and their Eternity piece, but holy ****, this Thanos poster is incredible. Moreso than anyone else we work with, Sonny and Biddy find a way to put so much of themselves into every piece. The colors, the skulls, the checkerboard patterns, it’s all very WBYK, yet fits perfectly in the Marvel universe, too. Also top human beings prize.
DARK PHOENIX by Becky Cloonan
I’ve been lucky to become very good friends with Becky this year, and working with her is one of my favorite things to do. She has great ideas, she can draw anything, and she is the world’s most entertaining person to email and text with (her .gif game is on point). She is really getting better every day, developing a stronger and stronger understanding poster composition and screenprinting. I can’t wait to work with her more in 2016, we have a ton planned.
WYTCHES by Jock
My favorite comic of 2015 also turned into one of my favorite Mondo posters of the year. If you haven’t read Wytches yet, please grab the trade paperback, you will not be disappointed. It’s fiercely original and already one of the scariest comics of all-time. Mondo works best when we are partnered with a property that we feel strongly about, and we couldn’t like this book and team of creators anymore than we do. Do us a favor, seek out their work.

Finally got this frame on the wall. It's unique....
Def a 2 person job putting it on and putting a print in ....
But ...... should I have done this vertical / portrait and not horizontal landscape I think I could easily take out prints and put others in by myself.
Pretty stoked tho to have at least one frame where I can easily change out prints throughout the year. I like the idea of seasonally doing stuff. ie. Christmas Vacation Print around Nov/Dec and a Horror print Late August- through Halloween etc.

There are 2 pieces of plastic so one is in back and one is in front. There is a super clear (one i got in front) then one that is slightly opaque but its a non reflective piece or UV ... cant recall right now. But anyways print is covered on both sides entirely and I had tested with just leaving one print in for weeks .... no damage. Plus I read on other forums where people have had prints in for years with no damage.
In fact many said they just keep the multiple prints in there. ie. like storage. like 5 prints. That's probably all well possible if its Vertical on wall .... but horizontal is a pain .... or maybe the pain part is more in fact due that im not standing right up against by my wall .... this frame is middle above my 2 seat recliner couch in my basement living room/ "what I call my theater room" ... so its already in a location that makes it kinda an arse to deal with.

I really like this, I may consider it as it would be a great way to display pieces I would not spend the money on custom framing for.
I wonder if they sell extra sheets. And I assume you don't seal the posters in the sheets
Also they say they can custom make the piece. I wonder if it would be worth getting an extra inch around then the possibilities are endless, you can consider adding a mat for each different poster and mats are not that expensive
The showing part of the frame is wood right? How does the frame feel, flimsy or sturdy?

its metal @mllNY and yeah the prints dont go in a sleeve. just hard but flimsy (only cause its big) plastic sheets ... so i got that on front and back side of print.
You could potentially do a mat, but you would still need to put acid free tape or something on back to make print hold to mat. Unless ofcourse you just made the mat the same size as the print, which would cover up some art depending on print .... perhaps not on a stout where there are huge boarders of blank space anyways. In either case I wouldnt really recommend the mat idea ... I wouldnt want to use any tape on back my print.
It sounds scary, but the print is safe. on that product page many of the reviews are from people talking about Mondo posters ...so that gave me comfort.
@mlmaier84 has a frame like this too that soon he'll be writing an article about.

They can make a custom size so I was thinking of making the frame 1 inch larger around each edge, so I could do a mat, I believe most mats are acid free (or I would make sure the mat was acid free) then I would use photo corners on the mat
So it would be either
back plastic sheet, print, front plastic sheet this would fit in the photo corners in the mat and that would go into the frame, the problem is then the mat would be on the outside
or
back plastic sheet, print in mat, front plastic sheet, then the sheet would be fitted into the frame
could just add an extra element to make the poster unique each time you changed it.
Though I would consider just the plain frame and go from there.
Most of my posters are rolled so I wonder how it holds up after you straighten them, cause I find that even when trying to straighten they still curl up just a tad at each end

the mad max I put in ... I had flattened ... but it still wasnt 100% flat .... but that frame applies just enough pressure to hold down your print tightly. (which is why ofcourse there is plastic piece on each side so the pressure is not on the print itself.) the pressure was always what I wondered if it would be too much and damage print .... but from all those reviews and my testing, its not.
Point being I would recommend still flattening out a print for a few weeks before putting it in. But I'm sure like a month in this frame and it'll be one flat print!
I think where this frame would REALLY come in handy is 18x24 because they are so easy to handle, cheaper, and could always be changing stuff out on the fly.

I wonder if the price is static with varying sizes. (Will a frame 24 x 18 or 13 x 19 be the same price?)
Not the best quality photo so I apologize, but I finally received my Mike Mitchell Furiosa print to complete the Fury Road set and flesh out the wall some more, its quickly become one of my favorites:
