“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:

@tridon @C.C. 95 one of them should have been timed release. whichever is not signed by kastel and if they are both ... the one should have been timed and auto sig. More money to be made, and more people happy.

Might be possible that they premium price this tho kinda like the Bottleneck Struzan's thus makes the ordering process easier (if willing to shell out the big bucks)

So… They won't reveal the prices until it goes live?
Even at premium prices- that is a pretty skinny print run.

yeah , surprised they arent just being sold at Jaws On Water event they do. doubt full run make it online, but one could hope.

Seems like a whole bunch of work tho for only 280 prints each. imo. 2 other artists helped with typography if i read correctly.

Man, I love Struzan, but I couldn't pull the trigger on his Thing and Pan's prints. Those prices were nuts! But yeah, this should've been a timed release. They would've sold a ton.

True.
Maybe they have a two tiered plan of release.
You're right- that is a lot of work for so little. So maybe later on down the line they will have more.

always more Jaws stuff. spread out across the license. But i would suspect the payments to Kastel and Edmiston and the others among legal, mondo etc. just seems like a small run for something so iconic. 350 I think would have been nicer and still be collectible in aftermarket etc.

"Random time"makes it impossible. I have a life. I can't be staring at their website all day.
I really hate "random time" stuff.

Follow them on Twitter and enable post notifications from them on your phone.
I would expect them to post on Twitter when they have gone live. (Granted might not be enough time still)
