If you read this site, you know I love geek art. I’m in the middle of redecorating my home office, and I literally have stacks of posters and prints framed and ready to hang. Most of the art I have wasn’t hard to get, but having bought one poster from Mondo directly and one after the fact on eBay, I understand how frustrating it can be to get limited edition art. This upcoming documentary by John Otterbacher is about the new and somewhat controversial nature of poster collecting, and it looks great.

He talks to folks from Mondo, Gallery 1988, and more about the recent phenomenon of super-limited edition posters by great artists. The documentary is up on Kickstarter-like IndieGoGo right now, and has a way to go to reach it’s goal.

As I finally get my office in order I’m going to posting a lot more about the art that I have and inviting you all to share your geek art collections (and maybe turn it into a contest of some sort), but in the meantime I can’t wait to see this documentary.

I love the Captain America movie, and the whole WWII, propaganda-ish setting really sold it for me as a film. Combine that with the fact that I’m obsessed with geek art in the form of awesome posters, and you’ll see why these are right up my alley.

eFX created the posters and trading cards for Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers, respectively, and now they’re producing them as really-for-real products. The one I’m most interested in is the badass propaganda poster you see above, but they have a lot more. It looks like they’ll also be getting into the prop replica business, if super expensive prop replicas is your cup of tea.

I think I’ll stick with the $20 posters.

Michael de Pippo caught my eye last year when he designed the awesome ‘Electric Mayhem’ concert posters, and I’ve been watching to see what else he’s had up his sleeve since then. His latest work is based off of my favorite TV Halloween special, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!. You can get the posters in the standard and variant versions above, as well as each on super-limited wood prints.

I love both versions, but the standard may be my favorite and I’m definitely going to try and snag one. Having bought all five of de Pippo’s Muppet posters, I can tell you that the quality on these is insanely great. They’re each hand-screen-printed and numbered, and come printed on very high-quality paper. The quantities for all versions will be pretty limited, but shouldn’t be as hard to get as Mondo posters.

Be sure to check out Michael’s post on his site for more info.

They go on sale next Tuesday at 9:30am PST on Dark Hall Mansion’s website, so be sure to bookmark that if you want to have a chance at getting some awesome ‘Great Pumpkin’ art by Michael de Pippo. I know the art in my office could use a little seasonal flair.

LEGO Super Heroes Marvel Comics Review: 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle
An insanely thorough review of an Avengers LEGO set I can't wait to pick up on From Bricks To Bothans. The Quinjet looks like a beast, but what's up with Black Widow's minifig?

“Looney Tunes: Mouse Chronicles” | Cartoon Brew
More classic animation on Blu-ray. That makes me happy. Jerry Beck also teases "Consider this a hint that some of the most sought after animation the company owns is headed to DVD and blu-ray within the next year".

Micro scale LEGO creations are starting to grow on me. They seem like the purest form of LEGO building, and this tiny Transformer is a perfect example. Crazy.

Every Batman Poster. Ever. – Poster Collective
A nice roundup of every Batman poster ever, as according to Poster Collective. Batman Forever actually had some cool posters.

Video games have changed quite a bit over the years. Graphics have gotten from blocky to photo-realistic. The device used to control the on-screen action has changed quite a bit as well. Pop Chart Lab chronicles the game controller advances from 1972 to 2010 in poster form.

The sticks-and-buttons controllers introduced in the ’70s have given way to motion-based devices like the Wii remote and PlayStation Move. Pop Chart Lab’s design is tremendous but I’d like to see at least a nod to the latest evolution—the controller-less Xbox Kinect.
