Film Prints
Tim Doyle’s “Quentin V. Coen” prints
Created as part of a specialty art show, Tim Doyle’s depictions of classic Quentin Tarantino and Coen Brothers moments are NOT to be missed. There’s a print for Death Proof, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, Raising Arizona, and No Country for Old Men. Each is $40, 12″ by 24″, and illustrates a stunning moment from films that will be talked about for generations.
MonsterGallery’s Wes Anderson Prints
Simple enough to please the man who created each film, MonsterGallery’s series of Wes Anderson prints are straight to the point, while still reflecting this amazing director’s visual style. This set of three contains The Royal Tenenbaums, Life Aquatic, and Rushmore. Each print is 16″ by 12″ and the entire set is $29.90 over at MonsterGallery’s Etsy store.
Mondo Prints
Mondo is easily the king of art prints and because of this, they aren’t easy to come by – most of the prints literally sell out in minutes. However, if you’re will to pay, you can find some classic prints on eBay. Be prepared to pay a hefty mark up. For example, JC Richard’s Fortress of Solitude print was $50 on Mondo’s site and is now on sale for $229.99 on eBay. Yet, Mondo has a variety of different prints that have been on sale this year. You can visit their archives to see all their prints to get a good idea of what is out there. Check out some of the prints currently listed on eBay here.
TV Prints
Fro Design’s Lost Anniversary Prints
Fro Design made his mark with weekly Lost prints and in celebration of the site’s one-year anniversary and the conclusion of the series, produced a series of stunning prints. Each of the six prints relates to a season of the show and one of the famed numbers: 4,8,15,16,23,42. Each print is 11″ by 17″ and you can purchase an individual season print for $25, the entire six print set for $120, or a print with each number on it for $25.

Like most of Society 6’s prints, there are variety of sizes and prices including a nice 17″ by 22″ for $32.00.
Danny Haas’ Dual Identity Prints
As many origin and comics stories have told, sometimes the man underneath is just as important as the hero. Danny Haas’ prints focus on both side of some of the worlds greatest heroes: Batman, Superman, Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man, The Hulk and Green Lantern are all spotlighted here. Prices range from a 8″ by 10″ for $17.68 all the way up to a 28″ by 36″ for $52.00.

Video Game Prints
Bill Mudron’s Hyrule Map Print
Beautifully detailed, Bill Mudron’s map of the famed world of Hyrule focuses on the NES/Famicom Zelda games instead of the more recent games in the series, but doesn’t make it any less amazing. The print is huge, 24″ by 36,” and is insanely awesome. At $45.00, it’s a must have for any Nintendo, Zelda, video game, or print fan. Get yours over at Mudruon’s personal storefront.
Valve’s Portal 2 70s Style Movie Poster
If you want the best looking Portal 2 print, look no further than Valve’s own store for this 70s style poster. At the time of this writing, the sale price for this 24″ by 36″ is such a great deal at $24.99, that I’ve already placed my order. Go over to Valve’s store and save yourself 37% off the normal price.
