Lost Screen Print #7 - The Smoke Monster by Ken Taylor

The Blot knows nothing about artist Ken Taylor other than he is known for making awesome looking rock concert screen prints (see here), but that’s good enough for me! Taylor’s limited edition Lost poster, “The Smoke Monster,” is truly amazing. Just look at the details and color of this masterpiece depicting Mr. Eko’s final confrontation with the island’s mysterious smoke monster. “The Smoke Monster” definitely ranks up there as one of The Blot’s favorite Lost prints released to date, mainly because it does a great job capturing the eerie feeling every Lost viewer felt watching Mr. Eko’s final moments on the show.

Damon, Carlton and A Polar Bear Limited Edition Lost Screen Prints - The Smoke Monster by Ken Taylor
“The Smoke Monster” is the seventh screen print released on Damon, Carlton and A Polar Bear in honor of Lost’s sixth and final season. Ken Taylor’s limited edition Lost screen print “The Smoke Monster” measures 18”x24”, has a run size of 300 pieces, and comes hand signed and numbered by the artist. The print sells for $50 each and could have been purchased here, but it sold out almost immediately!

In celebration of LOST's final season and as a project of fan appreciation, 16 top designers and artists, who are also fans of the show, were commissioned to create artwork celebrating one of the series' most memorable, and unforgettable, "water cooler" moments. This ultimate "fan art" was then turned into labor intensive, hand-pulled screen prints, limited to an edition of just 300, with less than 200 available to the public through our websites. Each beautiful poster tells its own different story, allowing the fan to relive memorable and influential moments in an artistic manner, as the show's storied run comes to a close. Once this limited edition print has sold out, they will never be printed again. Celebrate the fandom, community and family created by one of televisions' greatest shows by hanging a little part of its history, inspiration and influence on your wall. (link)
