Title: Universal Monster Prints
Post by: TheMadScientist on November 10, 2021, 06:32:30 PM
I stumbled upon a collection of Universal Monsters prints from an artist named Joel Herrera, and I thought others here might be interested. He has posters for each of the monsters (two versions of the Creature), as well as a a panorama with all of them (black and white or color available). The single posters are $10 and the panorama is $50. I've included pics of a handful, but here's the link for all of them: https://joelherreraart.com/product-category/universal-monsters/

What do you mean? It let me order them.

Ahh, I see the issue. I'm getting an error message when I try to check out...not sure why, it let me order them the other day. The guy emailed me when I ordered a set, so I'll let him know that it looks like there's some problem with his website.

It wouldn't take two different cards. I put in all the right info. I'll try one more time.

OK, it had the card expire date wrong, so I fixed that, but it still won't let me finish.

I gave up and sent the money thru PayPal. He should have that as an option.

Huh?! Take little green and grey rectangles with boring pictures of dead old men for big colourful pictures of monsters that in some cases could still be alive? Why would he do such a thing?

Well, when you put it that way, it doesn't really sound fair.

I got the Wolf Man today in the mail and I'm impressed. Awesome job on the art and presented on nice card stock. For $10, pretty surprised at the quality. Nicely done!

I definitely agree! Got one of each earlier this week, and am quite impressed with all of them. Not just the art, but the quality of the coloring and cardstock too. Well worth the $10 price tag.

I like the Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff ones a lot! My issue is that I don't even really have room to display the prints I have right now. So I don't know if I can justify spending that much for two more prints that would just sit in my closet for the time being lol

Posted in "Monsters Wanted" thread, but I thought I'd try here too. If anyone got one of the Wolf Man prints, and would be interested in selling, let me know! I recently accidentally damaged the Wolf Man print of my set. Ordered a new one to replace it, and the newer ones are slightly smaller than the older ones. Not a huge deal, but thought I'd ask if anyone has one they're wanting (or willing) to sell. Thanks!

These are all great looking prints, gonna add some to my collection.

On monster art, any one here familiar with an artist named Brux?  I see his/her art on Facebook often.
He does colorful close up re-imagined monster film titles posters.

I can't find any info on these, but new art seems to pop up often.  The art is signed Brux on most images, and the style is Fantastic, and immediately recognizable as his.  Dracula, House/Frankenstein, and A&C meet Frankenstein I've seen in this most desirable style.

Would love to get some prints, but can not find who the artist is, or if any are for sale at all.
May just be art done for postings, check them out, each drives me crazy with desires to obtain for my walls.

He does the covers for We Belong Dead magazine. Beautiful stuff!

Here's some of the latest issues.
