Posters From The Past
When it comes to movie poster artists nowadays, Tyler Stout is top tier. His extravagantly illustrated posters are so densely packed with key elements, scenes, and characters of the movie, that you almost feel that you are watching the entire movie just by looking at his posters. Stout’s style of photo-realistic meets comic-book action hero illustrations seems to bring the characters to life. I have never seen so much active motion going on in a still image of a Tyler Stout poster.
This poster first went on sale in April of 2008 on www.mondotees.com and then later on his own website. From what can recall, this poster was slow steady build to the “Holy Grail” heights that it is now. Getting the poster on drop day was pretty effortless, but as weeks and months passed, fans kept coming back to this print, new fans discovered this and the talent of this artist, and nowadays it is regarded as a classic Tyler Stout.
“The Thing” is a 24″ x 36″ 5-color screenprint with GID ink. Every character infected by The Thing has glow-in-the-dark eyes. Very cool! The regular edition had a run of 210, and variant Silver Edition of 65. Initial secondary market prices lingered around the $150-200 range, but with Stout’s popularity literally exploding, seeing secondary market sells in excess of $2000+ has been documented a number of times.
