We are packed with cool new products for sale today. If you weren’t in Austin for Fantastic Fest, now is your chance to grab these goodies!

Tonight, we are having our first ever live screen printing show called HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER with artist Jon Vermilyea in attendance. We will be letting people design their own t-shirts in store and decided that we would extend the offer to our online fanbase as well. Below is a preview of what you can expect at the show!

Mix and match the monster heads and bodies to create your own one of a kind t-shirt. This is only going to be available until 9:30pm CST, so don’t let this chance slip by!

Next up is the GORGEOUS David D’Andrea ANTICHRIST poster that was made specially for Fantastic Fest 2009 this year.

Poster by David D’ Andrea. 12″x26″ screen print. $30 Edition of 100.

Ken Taylor is back with his take on Medusa from CLASH OF THE TITANS!

Poster by Ken Taylor. 24″x36″ screen print. $30 Edition of 110.

We also have the Medusa’s stare variant with glow in the dark eyes and teeth for $55. Edition of 40.

To go along with the poster, Skinner has produced this CRAZY Medusa shirt. He had emailed me about doing it and then a few days later I got a painting in the mail from him with the artwork! This shirt is printed on a super soft ringspun t-shirt. Available on a black and creme shirt.

In a few hours, I’m going to stop watching Fantastic Fest films long enough to go pick up Jon Vermilyea who will be our special guest tomorrow at HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER!

In case you haven’t heard, Mondo will be having PRINT+addiction out with a mobile screen printing set up to silk screen shirts LIVE in the store from 6pm-10pm. Bring your own shirts, bags or whatever else you want because, like Burger King, we’ll let you have it your way. Jon has been busting his ass making original illustrations for the show that you can actually customize! Swap a swamp monster head for a mutated baby one and a crab body for a bat one! That’s right! You can actually take the head off of one monster and put it on the body of another to make the ghoul or demon of your choice! Not only will we be screening in store, but Jon will also have merchandise and original artwork for sale including this years Fantastic Fest poster illustration!

See you there!

Mondo is proud to present the newest entry into our movie shirt line, the I Massacre Texas shirt!

We get requests for Texas themed shirts all of the time and didn’t want to do the typical reworking of the KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD logo, so we went and aped that famous recalled JASON TAKES MANHATTAN poster and replaced Jason with Texas’ own maniacal serial killer.

Don’t give New York all of your love, buy your I Massacre Texas shirt now in BLACK or WHITE.

Forget paying you Tuesday for a burger today. Wimpy would straight up murder someone right now for this bed!

Several months ago, Kayla Kromer attended an after hours screening here at the Alamo of a movie called HAMBURGER: THE MOTION PICTURE.

While watching that movie, Kayla was hit with inspiration as the dorms at BusterBurger U.  didn’t have bunk beds or cots or any of the shitty beds that we were all used to sleeping on in college. Nope. They slept in GIGANTIC HAMBURGERS with cheese as blankets and pickles as pillows. Kayla spent the next two months creating the ultimate in food/comfort and then when it was revelaed, it literally broke the internet. It was front page on DIGG, was featured on 100’s of blogs and in dozens of magazines, the funniest being a US Weekly issue where Jessica Simpson was proclaiming  “I’m not fat!” on the cover. It couldn’t have been featured in a better issue.

Kayla has recently had a few personal problems and needs to let go of the bed. Last night she put it up on eBay with a starting bid of 1 cent and as of me writing this it’s already up to over 300 bucks! Want this Hamburger for your bed?! Click on the pic below and plunk down some cash!

If you don’t know yet, Mishka x Lamour Supreme x Mondo are releasing one ring to rule them all at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. That ring would be THE RING OF THE DEMON SCOURGE!

Last time I did a post, I took you halfway through the process of creating the severed fingers that these bad boys would be housed on. We left off with Meredith pouring molten clay into the alginate mold of my hand. After she allowed the clay to cool, she popped it out and she got this to work on:

If you’ve never high fived me or shook my hand and don’t what my hand looks like, I’ll tell you this…this is exact! When I showed my Mom these pics, she got all Mom on me and said, “Oh Justin. What if you sell these fingers and someone kills someone and uses the fingerprints on them to frame you. You’d be in so much trouble.” I was all like, “Oh Mom. Come on. They couldn’t do that.” When I went to pick these up the first thing Meredith said was, “Oh before I forget, I scraped your fingerprints from all the fingers so nobody could use your fingerprints and frame you.” WHAT?! That’s crazy! So, I guess everyone take this as a lesson. If you ever get your hands molded, have the artist scrape your prints and for god’s sake, LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS! I learned nothing from Mr. T apparently. So, sorry Mom. You were right.

After Meredith scraped my prints clean, she cut my fingers off proper!

See how the middle three kinda look like avocados with the pits dug out and the ring and pinky look normal with the fingernail. Well, we decided to go all out and pour resin for the fingernails so it would be more realistic. Neither Mishka nor Mondo skimp! Once Meredith fixed any imperfections that might have happened when she poured the clay, she made silicone molds of my fingers. Before she pours the silicone she needed to suspend the fingers in mid air in the center of the cups. She wouldn’t tell me how she did it. A magician never reveal their secrets I guess (fuck you FOX):

Shen then pours silicone around the fingers to make the final mold:

When the silicone mold cures, she gets wild and starts pouring the actual fingers.

YEAH! Oh man! When I got the call that they were done and I could come over and take a gander, I really lost it. When I arrived, here is what they had waiting for me…nail included!

And that’s all you get until the third and final chapter when we announce where at Comic Con you can buy these and when we show you final pics of the ring and finger packaging! Until then, wipe up your DROOOOOOOL!

We released the 2009 Fantastic Fest poster and t-shirt artwork to you about a week ago and the response was tremendous! Now we are offering the Fantastic Fest shirt in a limited edition colorway that will ONLY be available online HERE at MondoTees.com.

Limited to only 50 pieces worldwide, we hope this tides all of you rabid genre hounds over until this years festival.

About two months ago, we worked with 2009 Fantastic Fest artist Jon Vermilyea to make a shirt for one of the best horror movies ever made, THE DEADLY SPAWN. Said shirt was a big success and sold out. Lately, we’ve been getting several emails asking, “When will you be doing more shirts with Jon?” To answer that question, I say soon. Jon has probably two or three more shirts coming up in the near future not counting the 2009 Fantastic Fest shirt and poster. To hold you over until then, we’ve decided to release this shirt in two more colorways…BLACK and SLIME.

We’re also super excited about our brand new Badass Cinema shirt. ZOMBIES! Not just ZOMBIES, but PUNK ZOMBIES! Zombies are wild to begin with, but add a punk rock soundtrack to the mayhem and forget about it!

These are available online or in-store now!
