PNE: The Hangover Print Set by Justin Hampton, Emek & Jermaine Rogers

A short while ago Justin Hampton of PNE (Post Neo Explosionism) was contacted by movie director Todd Phillips. Phillips explained that he wanted to do something special for the cast and crew of his hit movie The Hangover, as it had become the highest grossing comedy of all time. A great rapport developed and Phillips commissioned PNE for a special project. He wanted Justin, Emek and Jermaine Rogers to create a set of commemorative rock-art style prints that embraced the no-holds-barred and reckless abandon of his hit film. "Make the posters...just wrong" Phillips said. With this inspiration, the trifecta set out to do just that. After months in development the project is now finished and the set of 3 prints is complete, each showcasing a different slant on the film.


In a special arrangement with Todd, the director has agreed to let PNE release a limited number of The Hangover print sets to the poster collecting community. This set of 3 screen printed posters will be released this Thursday, March 18th. The 3 prints measure 30”x20” and are available in a limited edition of only 100 signed and numbered sets, which will retail for $150. There is also a very limited edition of only 25 variant sets printed on holographic foil stock, which will retail for $200.


This set of 3 screen printed posters will be released on Thursday, March 18th, 2010 at 12 Noon PST on the official Post Neo Explosionism online store. You can find out more about each of the PNE The Hangover screen prints, as well as some very cool limited edition gifts that four lucky buyers will have the opportunity to snag, here.


One bonus gift is a fourth limited edition screen print created exclusively for Todd Phillips only and not made available at all to the general public. This bonus print (pictured above) was produced as a gift from PNE to Todd Phillips and the cast and crew of The Hangover. The image is sort of an inside-joke between PNE and Todd, and showcases the mysterious and raunchy Mr. Creepy (remember the scene in the elevator?). The character appears, under different credited names, in many of Phillips' films, and is always involved in the weirdest scenarios. In the film Road Trip, he makes an appearance on the bus wearing a track suit and a curly black wig. Mr. Creepy makes a cameo near the start of Old School, again, wearing a track suit and the same curly black wig. Let's just say that Todd Phillips absolutely loved this print, cleverly put together in beautiful day-glow by Justin Hampton.

The Final Battle (Tyson vs. Douglas) Screen Print by Eric Tan

From March 4–26, 2010, Gallery1988 LA and OMG Posters! will be hosting an awesome new art exhibit entitled The Greatest Moments in Sports History (A Poster Show). Featuring some of the world’s top screen print artists, The Greatest Moments in Sports History gave these talented artists an opportunity to pick their favorite sports moments and transform them into art. Currently, only a few of the prints for this show have been unveiled, and my favorite one so far is "The Final Battle," a Manga inspired boxing print featuring “Iron” Mike Tyson vs. James “Buster” Douglas by Eric Tan.


Tan explained the reason he chose this moment in sports history his blog:

If you follow boxing, or sports in general, you're well aware of the shocker that took place in the heavyweight division 20 years ago. “Iron” Mike Tyson was as close to a sure bet as we had ever seen in the ring. He was an undefeated and indestructible superhero who would annihilate everyone who stood in his path. NO ONE gave his opponent, James “Buster” Douglas an ounce of hope that fateful night in Tokyo. When something impossible happens in front of your eyes, it's something you'll remember forever. Mike Tyson's defeat changed not only the landscape of the division, but the rest of his life as well. That's why I decided to capture this historic event for my contribution to Gallery1988’s "The Greatest Moments in Sports History."

The Manga look was influenced by the fight taking place in Tokyo. I was definitely inspired by video games like Street Fighter when it came to the action. I highlighted their trademark moves (a la Ryu's Fireball or Guile's Sonic Boom) with Tyson's uppercut and Douglas' jab.

Eric Tan’s "The Final Battle" screen print is a 24" x 36" signed and numbered 3 color screen print, is limited to just 100 pieces and retails for $70 each.

The Hangover Character Movie Posters

The Blot mentioned earlier that I was going to try and post the complete set of hilarious The Hangover character movie posters and I am nothing if not a man of my words. So here they are, I hope you enjoy!




Like I said earlier, I haven’t seen The Hangover yet but for those of you that have I am sure these posters will bring about some fond memories. The Hangover looks like it’s going to be really funny, and as much as I’d like to know more about the meaning behind these posters it’s probably better that I don’t ask.




The Hangover stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Heather Graham, Sasha Barrese, Jeffrey Tambor, Ken Jeong and Mike Tyson.





The Hangover is in theaters now.

The Hangover Mike Tyson Character Movie Poster

I haven’t seen The Hangover yet, but it’s sounding like it could end up being the comedy of the summer (or at least the “adult” comedy of the summer) after thrashing Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost and grossing an impressive $43.3 million in its opening weekend. I’ve been reading reviews and it sounds like I’ve got to try to see this movie while I’m in Tahoe this week. Since I can’t speak about the actual movie, let’s talk about the film’s hilarious trailer and its breakout star, Mike Tyson.


How funny is that scene of Tyson singing along to Phil Collins’ "In The Air Tonight?" The first time I saw that trailer I literally lost it! If the movie is even half as funny as the trailer (or half as funny as director Todd Phillips’ Old School) it’s gotta be comedic gold. I can’t imagine anyone hasn’t seen The Hangover’s fantastic trailer yet, but If you haven’t you can now watch it below:



The Hangover, starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, is in theaters now. The Mike Tyson character movie poster above is just one in a huge set of The Hangover character movie posters. They are some pretty cool posters, so I’ll try to post the complete set later today.
