They say there’s “nothing certain in life except death and taxes”.  It’s a pretty accurate little saying, sure, but if you ask anyone who’s battled a raging poster-buying addiction, they’ll tell you what Limited Paper learned long ago:  there exists a little-known third certainty in life that’s known only to screenprint collectors.  Goes like this:  “One can never have too many posters based on John Carpenter’s The Thing”.

So, just to recap, that’s:  death, taxes, and an insatiable need to own every print based on John Carpenter’s The Thing.  It’s a curse, but today there’s good news for those afflicted with this devastating compulsion:  Mondo’s dropping Randy Ortiz’ The Thing poster later this week.  And if ya don’t like The Thing for some (nonsensical) reason?  Well, new stuff from Gary Pullin and Rich Kelly are also en route.  Find out details, see the prints, and get your fix after the jump, Thing junkies.

Though the Austin-based Odd City hasn’t been around very long, the two poster releases they do have under their belt—a Chuck Sperry Dazed and Confused print and a pitch-perfect Amityville Horror print from N.E.—have been enormously impressive, an absolute cut above most of the ho-hum filler that’s slowly been flooding the market over the past year.  So, when Odd City dropped us a line to tell us about the “very busy” summer they’re expecting to have and the subscription model they’re offering buyers, we couldn’t help but take note.  Wanna know everything we know?  Meet me after the jump, folks.

Judging from the amount of money J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness earned this weekend, it seems fair to say that audiences everywhere are still very much onboard with the director’s lens-flare-tastic interpretation of Gene Rodenberry’s iconic sci-fi series.  But y’know who’s really onboard with Star Trek right now?  Mark Englert fans.  Turned out that Paramount hired the increasingly-popular artist to create a Trek-themed poster to celebrate the film’s release, and then they handed ‘em out—free of charge– during last Wednesday’s first round of IMAX screenings.

Awesome for those in attendance, sure, but what about those that missed out?  Well, Limited Paper comes bearing good news:  Paramount and Englert have another surprise for you.  Set phasers to “Info Dump” and meet me after the jump, where I’ll tell you what that surprise is, where and when it’s going to drop, what it looks like, and what you’re gonna have to do to get your hands on one.

Tomorrow marks the end of an era:  NBC’s The Office is coming to a close after nearly a decade on the air. While the show’s definitely had its highs and lows over the years (particularly since original “World’s Best Boss” Steve Carell left at the end of season seven), anyone who’s stuck with the series for this long is surely hoping to see things wrap up in a satisfying way.  The big question is, what will leave most fans satisfied?

For many, only the return of Carell’s Michael Scott–along with love interest Holly, played by Amy Ryan—will suffice.  NBC’s still playing coy as to whether or not they’ll appear… but thanks to Mark Englert and the folks at Bottleneck Gallery, fans will have a chance to glimpse Michael and Holly one last time tomorrow even if NBC totally screws the pooch on their cameo.  Meet me after the jump for the details, folks.

From time to time, Mondo likes to welcome a few new artists into the fold.  They’re also big on launching posters as part of a larger “series”, as in their ongoing Universal Monsters releases, the still-waiting-for-a-Martin-Ansin-Twelve-Monkeys series based on the films of Terry Gilliam, or the somewhat-unofficial Tyler-Stout-doing-Quentin-Tarantino-films series.  Today, they’re doing all of these things at once:  a new poster series based on the filmography of Paul Thomas Anderson has been announced, and they’re bringing in both artists new and old to see it through to completion.  See some of that action after the jump, Captain.

Last week, we told you about the latest show unfolding at NYC’s Bottleneck Gallery, I Love You Man, and just days later we’re back with more good news:  the Bottleneck crew will be dropping three more new prints this week, all of which are the work of two of Limited Paper’s favorite artists, Marko Manev and Mark “Englerto” Englert.  Take a look at Manev’s prints—and find out when all three go on sale—after the jump, folks.

Not too long ago, Mondo Creative Director Justin Ishmael mentioned that a few Evil Dead-related items were headed our way, and it appears that tomorrow’s the day we’re going to have a chance to pick them up.  Randy Ortiz’ Army of Darkness print (which first appeared at a Kansas City Drafthouse screening of that Sam Raimi film), a new Evil Dead 2 print from Jason Edmiston, and the latest Mondo poster book—with a special Mondonomicon cover—are all headed our way, and you can find out how many are available, what they’ll set ya back, and more after the jump.

It’s been awhile since we checked in with our friends at NYC’s Bottleneck Gallery, and it appears that they’re still going strong:  the gallery’s latest show—a celebration of teamwork, genre films, and general awesomeness that they’re calling I Love You, Man—opens this Friday.  And based on the preview images they sent over this past weekend, it looks like they’ve got another solid showcase on their hands.  Wanna see what they’ve got on offer, and find out which print you can get only by being one of the first people into the show this Friday?  Meet me after the jump, folks.

Tonight’s the night:  Mike Mitchell’s solo show at the Mondo Gallery is throwing open its doors as we speak, and Limited Paper’s got you covered with a slew of images from inside the Gallery itself.  Wanna see how Mitchell’s 30-some-odd posters have been arranged?  Wanna see which prints we didn’t show you in our preview earlier in the week?  Wanna read our thoughts on Mitchell’s work in comparison to last month’s Stout & Taylor showcase?  Meet us on the other side of the jump, folks, where we’re revealing the first of two sets of badass photos from tonight’s show.

Tomorrow evening, the folks at the Mondo Gallery will be kicking off their latest one-man showcase, this one a highly-anticipated collection of portraits (the print-count is hovering around thirty, in case you were wondering) created by Poster World superstar Mike Mitchell.  This past week, preview images from that showcase started popping up around the net, and–because Limited Paper loves you very much—we’ve decided to make things convenient for you and present all of these images on one easy-to-gaze-at preview page.  Wanna see Mitchell’s take on Reservoir Dogs, The Thing, Fargo, and more ? Meet me after the jump, folks.

As all of you surely know by now, Marvel Studios is gearing up for a second round of films (chief among them Iron Man 3, Captain America: Winter Soldier, and Thor: The Dark World) that will pick up where Joss Whedon’s The Avengers left off.  The format’s exactly the same as it was the first time around:  each film advances the story of both the hero at its core and the overall Avengers mythology, and eventually it’ll all come together in The Avengers 2.

And it’s already started:  Iron Man 3’s on the verge of being released, and just last night Marvel revealed Thor: The Dark World’s first trailer.  The response to that preview seemed very, very positive…and we’re expecting a similar response to the quintet of Thor: The Dark World posters recently revealed by UK artist Olly Moss (even if most people probably won’t ever be able to buy one).  We’ve got ‘em after the jump, folks.

The biggest debate in Poster World last year had to be the three-part “Are too many galleries/poster retailers popping up; were these new galleries dooming their future earning potential by flooding 2012’s market with astoundingly mediocre prints; and who the hell is convincing artists that people want even more twee posters based on Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic (and does that person deserve death)?”  At the rate things were going there at the end of last year, we were expecting a new gallery to open every ten minutes in 2013.

But so far this year—far as I can recall, anyway—we’ve only seen one new guy step up to the plate.   To be fair, though, Odd City Entertainment didn’t just casually step up to any plate:  they announced their presence by dropping a stunning Dazed and Confused print (created by none other than Chuck Sperry, Professional Poster God).  And now—just a few weeks later—they’ve somehow managed to match that first print with a little help from Austin-based artist NE.  Wanna see?  Meet me after the jump.

A few weeks back, we alerted you to an upcoming show being assembled by our friends at the Spoke Art Gallery.  The Spoke Art guys generally operate out of San Francisco, but this Friday they’re taking a field trip to New York’s Bold Hype Gallery to unleash a Martin Scorsese-themed gallery show that looks to be quite the homerun.  Wanna see some preview images from the show and find out what you’ll get if you’re one of the first 100 people in line?  Meet me after the jump, folks!

For some time now, rumors have been circulating about an extremely rare Aliens-themed poster being worked on by Mark Englert.  These rumors were ignited when the artist posted some process shots of the piece to his personal blog a few months ago, at which time he also revealed that Close Your Eyes, Baby was…a commission piece.  In other words, Mark Englert’s latest wouldn’t be finding its way to a wide release.  Fans were bummed…but rumors persisted that there might be some hope yet.

As it turns out, there is a bit of hope if you’re interested in obtaining one of Englert’s Aliens-themed prints…but you’ll have to act quick if you’re interested in picking one up.  Read all about it after the jump, folks.

With the Criterion Collection’s Repo Man on the verge of being releases, we’d been expecting a Jay Shaw print to drop any minute, one to match the design he created for the film’s cover box…and that print did just get announced.  But did anyone expect the other Repo Man poster Mondo’s dropping later this week?  Just weeks after unleashing a slew of new Tyler Stout prints at the Mondo Gallery’s Stout & Taylor show, Tyler Stout’s Repo Man gets announced.  You as shocked as we were?  Think about it while you check out the specs on this week’s Mondo prints, after the jump…
