Laurent Durieux - Appreciation & Discussion

Was there a 1 per household limit? If the answer is no, then it happened.

+13 so far.I can't believe people aren't buying these up. More money for me as far as I'm concerned....+14.

Knowing what I know about you, I'm actually baffled trying to figure out if you are being serious or not here.

My goal in life is to become a rich, white person. I already got half of it down. This will help me achieve the other half of the goal.

Buying a fudge ton of Charlie Brown XMas posters is pretty white. Is that racist?

[ryanfromindiana]

Uggghhh....more checkout hijinks for me. I tried to buy one variant and it put 6 in my cart without me noticing. Do you want them Cel?

Sure. at half the cost + shipping.

Done. Thank you!

Laurent Durieux is quickly becoming one of my favorite artist. He is totally old school in a modern sense. His prints on my wall makes me feel like I'm living in a Cinema house from back when. Simply bad ass images make up his art. This guy is for real. Hopefully he throws in some old school hammer stuff and then goes for the classic sci-fi 50's and 60's.Mondo is lucky to have him. Props.

I like what you say there, he is totally old school but not old fashioned…

Anyone know about his process? How much is digital vs hand painted/inked?

Dark Hall Mansion was cool enough to post some great process shots in the release discussions:

Just got my Iron Giant and my Bigfoot from two separate EB hookups and damn they are both gorgeous in person.. especially IG.
Easily one of the most vibrant prints I own... and that's saying a lot considering how many Whalen's I have.

So I just got my Wolf man poster and it is really dark. It's actually hard to see. Is it just my copy or do all the Wolf Man prints seem darker than the digital picture posted by Mondo?

[dlazarow]

Mine seems dark too.

It's definitely the darkest of the monster prints by Durieux. I don't think there is enough contrast between the background brown and the black jacket color. In the JPEG the blacks look richer and darker. If they would have made the black a little darker or the brown a bit brighter it would have popped a bit more, like in the digital image. If you stick the print in a dark room it might get lost.

Original digital image:

The print looks a bit like this:

Yeah, good contrast above, pretty accurate. Still a moving image and although my walls wont have space for this, I will always think it's a great print.
