At least it is on the level with the recent sales history and it's going direct to him.

Great print but yeah that's a big price tag.

Nice. Not a fan of the film, but these are really good.

If only Tong had left off Dennis Hopper. Takes that artwork from beautiful to creepy.

His Ran print is still one of my personal favorites of his, have to get my variant framed at some point.

Agreed on Blue Velvet. Wish it had Kyle holding her instead.

Still kicking myself for not getting a $700 MD last summer. Been waiting for them to go down in price, but they all seem to be staying over $1k.

Kevin dropped ap versions of most of his prints from the last year or so a couple of hours ago. Looks like his Crow posters are already sold out but the Dersu Uzala (with shipping from the US) are still there along with a few others.

Dave Matthews Band Tampa

For my second Dave Matthews Band poster, I decided to make it a significant departure from their usual posters and from what I normally do.

Dave Matthews Band - Tampa ($100):
18" x 24" 9 color screen print with metallic inks on 100 lb white cover paper,
signed and numbered limited AP edition

This poster will be for sale at www.tragicsunshine.com at a random-ish time (after lunch!) on October 14, 2021.

The poster isn't sold out unless my website says it's sold out. Please make sure your shipping address is current and correct.

Thanks!

Be well and stay safe!

The new Kevin Tong Vertigo posters turned out nice. On sale at Mad Duck Posters Tuesday (tomorrow April 25) at 12pm est.

"It's always great to do posters for an Alfred Hitchcock film. His directorial style, clear themes, and striking visuals provide so much to work with. The graveyard scene is superb and heavily foreshadowing, but often gets overlooked in favor of other moments from the film so I wanted the poster to embody that, as well as the striking use of color Hitchcock employs throughout Vertigo.

I don't have much more to say other than "Vertigo" is a masterpiece and I'm thrilled to have been able to make a small contribution to its monolithic cultural presence."

Nice to see a new movie poster from Kevin.

On the fence about how I feel about this one. Seems like two concepts smushed into one.
