This weekend, the big story—the one on the minds of most poster collectors—was the release of Drew Struzan’s The Thing screenprints at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas.  But hundreds of miles away– in a dimly-lit art gallery somewhere in Long Beach—another major release (or six) was taking place:  the Phone Booth Gallery’s A Distant Winter show, featuring artwork from Ken Taylor, Rich Kelly, and none other than Martin effing Ansin (yes, that’s his full name).  Wanna see some photos from that show?  Wanna know where to get your Thing prints framed for an awesome price if you’re in Austin?  Want us to drop some other poster-related news square in your lap?  Meet me after the jump, folks:  it’s all inside Limited Paper #7.

If you’re just joining us here at poster-enthusiast HQ, Limited Paper is an ongoing column keeping you up to date on all poster-related shenanigans from around the world (but mostly the States).  For the past few weeks, we’ve been running Limited Paper as a weekly column, a once-per-seven-days affair packed to the breaking point with pictures, poster drop news, speculation, and “Things Worth Getting Excited About”.  This week, we’re rolling out a new version of Limited Paper (yes, already), and what better way to ring in that new version than some extremely exciting RAYGUNS & ROBOTS news?  Not doing it for ya?  Then how about some new Martin Ansin posters?  Sound good?  Meet me after the jump.
