Hey! We hope this finds you well, and that you and your loved ones are all safe and healthy. These are strange times we're experiencing, but we are experiencing them together and our hope is that these new releases will help bring back a little bit of normalcy to the world.
When we heard SXSW had been cancelled, it was crushing. A GODZILLA show is something we had wanted to do pretty much since the gallery opened, and though we remain fully confident in the decision to cancel, it's still a bummer not to spend an evening with y'all celebrating the King of the Monsters. However, on the bright side this now allows us an opportunity to share all this incredible artwork to a wider audience as we unleash this monstrous collection online. Over the next couple of weeks, all posters from the gallery show will be made available online and we are excited to kick it off with the first collection of posters this Thursday!
First up we have a new poster for GODZILLA by Oliver Barrett! The release of GODZILLA in 1954 changed everything. It breathed atomic life into an iconic character that inspired monster kids all over the world, and whose legacy spans over 60 years, 30+ films, and across toys, comic books, and video games. With Godzilla in all his destructive glory, Oliver's poster is about as perfect a hat tip as you could hope for for the iconic first film.

This week we also have two posters from Tom Whalen for Shōwa era films GODZILLA VS MEGALON and TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA. When we first started putting together the artist roster for this collection, Tom was one of the first artists we asked as a lifelong kaiju kid. In GODZILLA VS MEGALON, Godzilla teams up with fan favorite Jet Jaguar to battle against Megalon and awesome cyborg kaiju Gigan, while TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA pits Godzilla against MechaGodzilla 2 and Titanosaurus. Tom always has a strong eye for design and composition, and these posters are brilliant examples of that. All four posters also feature beautiful metallic inks. We hope you like these posters as much as we do.
