Don’t know about this one, haven’t seen the movie yet. I like the print but if the movie sucks it’s going to ruin it for me. Still thankful I didn’t pick up Mother cause that movie was straight up wacky.

His art is phenomenal, have a couple of pieces and book sets.... not this one, though happy to see some silkscreen "enhancements" and the embossed chop and hope to see more still a pass due to subject matter.

Do you know how many sold?

Probably has nothing to do with the fact that it is commercial art that has been widely used to promote an oscar nominated film from a director with a dedicated fanbase.

Given his success with Mother & Shape of Water and his familiarity with screen printing, I can easily envision conversations being had between JJ and Mondo.

Given how hard Mitch stans for JJ, I'm sure it'll happen eventually. There is precedent for higher cost prints - Struzan - and it's obvious that JJ has his fans that'll make that kind of thing doable.

I just wish that the mother! print was a timed edition given how bloody expensive it is nowadays.

Mondo has the licenses but then how much of a cut goes to them. JJ is doing fine by himself, didn't need a license on this and sold how many for $200?
