“We'd like to take you home with us...” Screen Print by Jermaine Rogers

The “We'd like to take you home with us...” screen print by Jermaine Rogers will go on sale this Friday, November 19th, at 1pm EST at NOWhereLimited.com.

For those of you interested in the history of this image: The raw imagery displayed here first appeared over a decade ago on the now classic print that Jermaine Rogers created for a 1999 Austin, Texas appearance by the UK band The Chemical Brothers. Years later, the poster was featured prominently in The Art Of Modern Rock, often referred to as “the Bible” of the modern rock poster art movement. This Friday, "We'd like to take you home with us..." becomes available for the first time as an art print. This piece is being printed in New York City on one of the last operational presses previously owned by Andy Warhol.

Green Lantern Official Trailer and Pictures



The official first trailer for the Green Lantern feature film debuted yesterday and it’s interesting to say the least. I was pleasantly surprised to learn the Green Lantern Corps would play such a major role in the film, and it looks like we’ll be seeing more Green Lanterns than I originally thought. But I was hoping to have stronger positive feelings for this film after seeing some footage and yet I still feel pretty lukewarm to the whole project.

Green Lantern First Look - A Green Lantern Ring

This is the first major comic book movie from DC Comics and Warner Bros. not staring Batman or Superman, and I really hope they don’t screw it up! What do you think? Does the trailer above have you excited for this summer’s Green Lantern?

Green Lantern First Look - Mark Strong as Sinestro

Thanks to Comic Book Resources for the trailer above (sorry about the commercial but it's the best copy I could find) and the pictures of the Green Lantern Corps!

Cowboys & Aliens Teaser Movie Poster

The Blot’s never read the Cowboys & Aliens graphic novel, I’m nevertheless very excited for the upcoming live action movie adaptation if for no other reason than the film’s director and cast. The Cowboys & Aliens film is being directed by Jon Favreau and features a veritable who’s who of The Blot’s favorite actors, including Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano, Keith Carradine and Walton Goggins. Cowboys & Aliens is shaping up to be the next big comic book based summer blockbuster!

Cowboys & Aliens Teaser One Sheet Movie Poster - Daniel Craig as Jake Lonergan

Then again, it’s going to have some really stiff competition for that title next summer from a number of more “mainstream” comic book franchises. While Cowboys & Aliens is not scheduled for release until sometime during summer 2011, its very first trailer will be unveiled by Universal Studios tomorrow. So keep your eyes peeled on The Blot Says… tomorrow for the new Cowboys & Aliens trailer!

Custom Hawaiian Pizza Globulon Resin Figure by Abe Lincoln Jr.

Custom Hawaiian Pizza Globulon Resin Figure by Abe Lincoln Jr.

While it doesn’t look like there will be any more production runs of Abe Lincoln Jr.’s Globulon resin figure, Abe’s got more than a few customs in the works including this awesome Hawaiian Pizza custom colorway. Inspired by the Hawaii colorway of vintage Japanese Kaiju toys, Abe has taken all the garish beauty of these classic toys and bastardized them into a hamfisted tribute to the old masters of toy painting.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 Portrait Movie Poster Set

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Portrait Movie Poster Set - Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter

We’re just a few days away from the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the second to last Harry Potter film ever. Now that The Blot’s read the Harry Potter series I’m pretty excited to see this film, but I’ve still got to watch the first six movies first. At least I’ve got the entire Thanksgiving holiday to catch up.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Portrait Movie Poster Set - Emma Watson as Hermione Granger

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Portrait Movie Poster Set - Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley

I thought this Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 portrait character movie poster set was particularly effective because of how expressive the faces are, especially when offset against the one sheet’s black background. It really sets the ominous feeling of this particular book, especially the book’s first half. I know some fans are a little worried Part 1 will be a little slow, but condensing all that story to just 2 hours will make that near impossible (or at least I hope it does).

Plaseebo x DeadBear Studios Steam Punk Edition Skulloctopus

Plaseebo x DeadBear Studios Steam Punk Edition Skulloctopus

Check out this crazy new collaboration between Plaseebo and DeadBear Studios. Each Steam Punk Edition Skulloctopus vinyl figure was hand painted by Motorbot and features swirl glass eyes and an internal color changing motion activated LED. This figure rocks, but with the motion activated LED I’m pretty sure Aly would never let me have one of these in the house. She’s somewhat of a scaredy cat and literally be screaming every time the color changing LED turned on unexpectedly.

Plaseebo x DeadBear Studios Steam Punk Edition Skulloctopus

The Plaseebo x DeadBear Studios Steam Punk Edition Skulloctopus vinyl figure has a limited edition run size of 10 pieces and will be released on Tuesday, November 16th, at Plaseebo's online store. Each figure will retail for $110.

Cowboy Seahorse and Rider Vinyl Figure by Amanda Visell

The second version of Amanda Visell’s Seahorse and Rider vinyl toy is the Cowboy version (produced by Paradise Toys) and includes a magnetic little girl doing her best cowgirl impression. Which begs the question, why was this toy not called the Cowgirl version? This grey and black Cowboy Seahorse and Rider vinyl figure stands 7 inches tall, has 2 points of articulation and has a limited edition run size of just 100 figures!

The second colorway of Amanda Visell’s Seahorse and Rider vinyl figure is a Lulubell Toys exclusive in the US, with 50 figures available through Lulubell Toys and 50 figures available directly from Paradise Toys in Taipei.
