Breaking Gifs: A Breaking Bad ARG & Screen Print Series

Breaking Gifs - A Breaking Bad ARG and Screen Print Series

Has it really been almost three and a half years since comedian Paul Scheer unveiled the Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear website at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 while The Blot was in attendance at the last official LOST panel? DCaaPB ended up being a front for a new LOST alternate reality game (or ARG) that Jensen Karp and Gallery1988 had created to launch a new series of LOST screen prints and a corresponding LOST group art show. The Blot got heavily involved in those poster scavenger hunts and met some amazing people from around the globe in the process. Can lightening really strike twice?

Well, Scheer, Karp and G1988 are at it once again with an all new ARG centered around AMC’s hit television show Breaking Bad (another of The Blot’s favorite shows). The ARG and its corresponding website have been entitled “Breaking Gifs,” which is a mix of Breaking Bad and animated gifs. Why? I have no idea. At this point all we definitely know is Gallery 1988 is involved and it is an official Breaking Bad art project. The rest we’ll find out along the way! Are you ready to go along for the ride? I know I am…more details to come!

Official Announcement: To celebrate and honor the fifth and final season of Breaking Bad, 16 of the top artists and graphic designers have been commissioned to create screenprints depicting some of the series' most memorable scenes, characters and shocking moments. These screenprints are hand-pulled, each its own individual work of art, in an edition of just 300, with only 200 available to the public through this project. Once the edition is sold out, they will never be printed again.

Lost Screen Print #16 - LOST by Tyler Stout

This is it, the 16th and final Lost screen print in the Lost Alternate Reality Game series released in honor of Lost: The Final Season. The print is entitled “LOST” and is by one of the most popular artists in the screen print genre, Tyler Stout. Some were concerned the print couldn’t possibly live up to the hype surrounding this ARG, especially after the huge build up to last night’s Lost Underground Art Project, but I think Stout blew all expectations out of the water! According to the Powers that Be, “LOST” includes two spoilers for the show’s upcoming 6th season, can anyone spot them!?!

Damon, Carlton and A Polar Bear Limited Edition Lost Screen Prints - LOST by Tyler Stout
Tyler Stout’s limited edition Lost screen print “LOST” is the largest Lost screen print to date, measuring an impressive 24”x35”. Like the previous 15 prints released on Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear, “LOST” has a run size of 300 pieces and comes hand signed and numbered by the artist. This extra large Lost print will retail for $70 and go on sale later today here.

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.

The Lost Underground Art Project Opens Tonight

Everyone involved with the Lost Underground Art Project (opening tonight at Gallery 1988) has been so tightlipped, The Blot’s been unable to find out any additional details about the show other than what was announced on the event’s official flyer. Thankfully, the same can’t be said for the great art website Arrested Motion! Yesterday, AM debuted the beautiful Lost themed mixed media painting below created by Edwin Ushiro for the Lost Underground Art Project.

The Lost Underground Art Project - Unnamed Lost Mixed Media Painting by Edwin Ushiro
The unnamed piece above by Edwin Ushiro features Hurley, Sun, Sawyer, Jin, Michael, Jack, Sayid and Locke wondering through the island’s dense jungle in search of...something. After seeing this amazing Lost artwork, The Blot is even more excited for tonight’s opening. If only I could be there in person! According to the Gallery 1988 website, the entire exhibition will be put on its website after the show's opening (hopefully by Wednesday).

The Lost Underground Art Project at Gallery1988 Los Angeles

The Blot doesn’t know much, but opening Tuesday, December 15th at Gallery1988 in LA is The Lost Underground Art Project. How crazy is this latest news from the Damon Carlton and a Polar Bear website!?! On display will be all 16 screen prints from the DCaaPB Lost ARG plus LOST inspired artwork by artists such as Alex Pardee, Ben Strawn, Chris Ryniak and Scott Campbell.

There will also be “surprises” at the Lost Underground Art Project from some of The Blot’s favorite artists, including Jesse Hernandez, kaNO, Jon Burgerman, Scribe, 64 Colors, Brent Nolasco, Dave Pressler, Motorbot and Reactor88. I have no idea what kinds of “surprises” are in store for the lucky few able to attend this amazing Lost tribute in two weeks, but hopefully more details will be immerging shortly!

Lost Screen Print #15 - The Polar Bear by Jay Ryan

The Polar Bear” by Jay Ryan is the 15th screen print in the Lost Alternate Reality Game series released in honor of Lost: The Final Season. While this particular “water cooler moment” is not as significant to The Blot as other Lost reveals previously immortalized as screen prints, this print is sure to be crazy hard to find on the secondary market because of the artist behind it. Ryan has a large and devoted fan following, and “The Polar Bear” does a great job showcasing his unique style.

I’m interested in finding out if anyone else has tried to purchase these Lost alternate reality game screen prints, and if so which ones have you been lucky enough to purchase?

Jay Ryan’s limited edition Lost screen print “The Polar Bear” measures 18”x24”, is printed on brown paper, has a run size of 300 pieces and comes hand signed and numbered by the artist. The print could have been purchased here for $50, but like all of the other screen prints released in this series it sold out in under 2 minutes.

Lost Screen Print #14 - Ben Linus by Todd Slater

Ben Linus” by Todd Slater is the fourteenth screen print in the Lost Alternate Reality Game series released in honor of Lost: The Final Season. This poster has huge significance to The Blot because it features one of my favorite characters, Benjamin Linus! No other character has taken the show by storm quite like Michael Emerson’s Ben. From the moment he appeared on screen you knew there was more to The Others’ “Henry Gale,” but even I could not have imagined where Linus’ story would take him and the show. And you can’t have a screen print featuring Ben without his pet #8 white rabbit.

Slater is an amazing artist with a strong fan following, so The Blot has a feeling this print will be highly sought after by Lost fans and Slater fans alike. “Ben Linus” is the 14th screen print released on Damon, Carlton and A Polar Bear in honor of Lost’s sixth and final season. Todd Slater’s limited edition Lost screen print “Ben Linus” measures 18”x24”, has a run size of 300 pieces and comes hand signed and numbered by the artist. The print could have been purchased here for $50, but like all of the other recent Lost screen print releases it sold out in mere minutes.

Lost Screen Print #13 - The Barracks by Nate Duval

The Barracks” by Nate Duval is the thirteenth screen print in the Lost Alternate Reality Game series released in honor of Lost: The Final Season. With only three prints left, the reveal of “The Barracks” was a little anticlimactic. While the reveal of the Others’ barracks was definitely a “water cooler moment,” I think a lot of Lost fans felt it was nowhere near as exciting or dramatic as other key moments from the show’s past five seasons. Regardless, “The Barracks” is a beautiful print and really shows off Duval’s amazing talent.

Lost Screen Print #12 - Jacob’s Cabin by Daniel Danger

The Blot loved last week’s Lost print “Jacob’s Cabin” by Daniel Danger so much I tried to buy it! But of course it sold out as I was trying to complete the transaction. Danger’s landscape prints are dark and beautiful, and Jacob’s cabin fits his style perfectly. I first learned of Danger when he released a print entitled “Sanctum Sanctorum” for Gallery1988’s “Tribute to Stan Lee” show. As you can tell from the print’s title, it featured Dr. Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum and looks amazing! You can see Danger’s Marvel Comics inspired print here.

Lost Screen Print #11 - Walt's Kidnapping by Drew Millward

Last week’s Lost print, “Walt’s Kidnapping” by Drew Millward, is really awesome! It has such a killer Van Gogh / Starry Night feel to it, doesn’t it? Plus, I’m really glad to see Mr. Friendly get a shout-out in one of these limited edition Lost screen prints.

Lost Screen Print #10 - The Swan Station by Rob Jones

It’s official, these Lost screen prints made in honor of the show’s final season are a hit! Last week’s Lost print, “The Swan Station” by Rob Jones, sold out in an hour and previously sold out Lost screen prints are selling for hundreds of dollars on eBay. Makes me kind of wish I had purchased a few of the earlier prints when I had a chance. Oh well! The black and red color scheme of “The Swan Station” print is very striking, and I liked the print even more once I found out Mr. Jones is from the live music capital of the world, Austin, TX.

Lost Screen Print #9 - Rousseau's Transmission by Dan McCarthy

Ok, this is getting out of hand. This week’s Lost screen print, “Rousseau’s Transmission” by Dan McCarthy, sold out before I even got a chance to look at it! These prints in honor of Lost: The Final Season have gotten so popular with the television show’s fervent fan base, in order to get your hands on one you pretty much have to be at the website within the hour a new print is released. I really like this print for two reasons: 1) it is an amazing example of McCarthy’s beautiful work (you can see more here) and 2) it showcases one of my favorite Lost scenes, the moment Shannon first translates Rousseau’s radio transmission.

Lost Screen Print #8 - The Hatch by Kevin Tong

This week’s Lost screen print “The Hatch” was designed by Kevin Tong, a talented artist known for producing some killer indie rock concert posters. Is there anyone who was not freaked out at the end of Season 1 when that bright light first shot out of the Hatch? Tong really went all out on this Lost print and did a great job capturing the intensity of that moment. The colors of “The Hatch” look amazing and The Blot loves all the intricate line work woven into the print’s background.

I must admit, I almost purchased this Lost poster, but decided against it at the last moment. I’ve decided to purchase only one of these Lost ARG prints, and I don’t want to take the plunge too early. But with my top four prints already sold out, I hope there’s a future print I will want equally as much. Only time will tell… “The Hatch” is the eighth screen print released on Damon, Carlton and A Polar Bear in honor of Lost’s sixth and final season.

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.

Lost Screen Print #6 - The 4-Toed Statue by Jason Munn

Jason Munn, an Oakland, California artist well known for his indie rock posters, is the sixth amazing artist to design a limited edition screen print in honor of Lost: The Final Season. Munn’s print, “The 4-Toed Statue,” features my buddy Greene’s favorite Lost mystery, the 4 toed statue. I always figured the writers of Lost would one day explain the significance of this mysterious statue, but I never thought it would play such a significant role in the overall mythology of the island.

Lost Screen Print #5 - The Love Triangle by Leia Bell

This week’s official Lost screen print is entitled “The Love Triangle” and was designed by artist Leia Bell. While I don’t know much about Bell, I would recognize the scene depicted in “The Love Triangle” anywhere. It’s the moment Jack first sees Kate and Sawyer locked in love’s sweet embrace while locked up in the Polar Bear cage. Of course it was all orchestrated by everyone’s favorite misunderstood mass murderer, Benjamin Linus. To many Lost fans the Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle is one of the show’s greatest mysteries. Who will Kate ultimately end up with?

As more and more fans find out about this awesome art project created to honor Lost: The Final Season, the prints are selling out in mere hours. It also doesn’t hurt that print #4, entitled “The Crash,” was designed by popular Disney/Pixar artist Eric Tan. Tan has created tons of killer retro posters similar to "The Crash" for Disney/Pixar movies like Up, Wall*E, Ratatouille and The Incredibles, and you can see those posters and so much more at his official website The Art (and Random Adventures) of Eric Tan.

The third official Lost screen print has been released on the Damon, Carlton and A Polar Bear website, and man is it beautiful! Designed by Methane Studios, “The Dharma Van” screen print features a flowery version of the television show’s signature Dharma Initiative VW bus. I was really excited to find out Methane Studios was involved in this Lost themed project because I have one of their awesome concert posters hanging in my bedroom (it’s the Peter Bjorn & John screen print seen below). The artists of Methane Studios are uber-talented, and they did a great job incorporating different elements of Lost into their print.

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)

Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear’s Limited Edition Lost Prints

Have you been to the new Lost website Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear yet? If not what are you waiting for!?! This Lost tribute website made its debut at the San Diego Comic Con 2009 Lost panel and was created by Lost fan and professional actor/comedian Paul Scheer. Believe what you may, but as far as I can tell DamonCarltonandaPolarBear.com is more of a viral marketing, official Lost tie-in website than a tribute site. But who knows.

For a while now there has been a fake online fight going on between Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear and Ronie Midfew Arts. Of course Ronie Midfew Arts is also an anagram of Widmore Fine Arts! You can find out all about this online legal battle over the rights to sell Lost inspired artwork here. Anway, it appears this was all hype leading up to a series of limited edition Lost themed screen prints being released exclusively on Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear. How cool is that!?! Two prints have been unveiled so far, one by Olly Moss and one by Tim Doyle, with 14 more to go. I’m not sure how often they will be releasing new prints, but I would imagine it’s every couple of days. You can read the official press release below.
