“JAWS by Roger Kastel” and “‘The Shark’ by Roger Kastel” go on sale Tuesday, July 3 at MondoTees.com.

a few excerpts from the Newsweek article.

“It’s like a forgery,” he added, after trying out “recreation” and finding it inadequate. “It sounds devious. But every step of the way we were consulting Roger and getting his approval.” The final touch was Roger Kastel’s autograph, on every one of the 560 screen prints.

Mondo’s release comes in two flavors. Each is 24” by 36” and released as a limited edition of 280 posters, printed by DL Screenprinting.

There’s “JAWS by Roger Kastel,” a recreation of the original Jaws movie poster, with its bright blues and airbrushed away nudity:

And “‘ The Shark’ by Roger Kastel,” which captures the original painting done for the paperback book release, before the addition of text. Later adapted for the movie poster, this version, like the original painting, has a darker, more toned-down color palette:

I picked up one of these off eBay, the prices are dipping toward $350-400 which isn’t horrible if anyone is interested.

Well I cracked and picked one of these up off ebay, manged to knock a chunk off the asking price and then applied a 15% code which helped. Arrived this week. The colour on this is spectacular.
