Blue Velvet Screen Print by Kevin Tong x Mad Duck Posters

Mad Duck Posters has released its newest movie poster, the hauntingly beautiful Blue Velvet by Kevin Tong. Man, the way Kevin utilized blue light in this print is just amazing! As Ton explained, “Blue Velvet is one of my favorite films. With anything David Lynch, the process of coming up with imagery is massively intimidating. Sketch after sketch, I was hitting walls for a while and I finally came to the conclusion that Blue Velvet is an intense emotion driven film and I wanted my poster for it to be emotional as well. The film is painted with sadness, anger, lust, beauty, ugliness, love, and so much more. I tried to make every aspect of the illustration, the style, color palette, composition, and mood, reflect some emotional aspect of Blue Velvet.”

Blue Velvet by Kevin Tong is a 24”x3” hand numbered screen print. The Regular Edition is limited to 250 pieces and will retail for $70, while the Variant is limited to 125 pieces and will retail for $90. There is also a Foil Variant of each edition that is limited to just 15 pieces and retails for $150. All four versions are available now at MadDuckPosters.com.

Blue Velvet Screen Print by Matt Ryan Tobin x Mad Duck Posters

Mad Duck Posters is excited to release new officially licensed posters for David Lynch’s 1986 neo-noir mystery film, Blue Velvet, by Matt Ryan Tobin! Matt explained the thought process behind this beautifully haunting design: “I completely immersed myself in this film while working on this piece. It played on loop for days in my studio. I listened to Blue Velvet, the song, countless times; it already being a song I love. I really wanted to capture the beauty as well as the sadness of this film, but have a slight nuance of fear. Jeffery peering through Dorothy's dress is meant to represent his first glimpse into her life but also he ultimately exposes her heart on a deep level, in a way setting her love free. Free of Frank's violent prison hold. The shape of the parting curtains are akin to that of a knife's blade, representing the danger and violent world Jeffrey is unknowingly about to walk into.”
