The Alien franchise has always been a favorite of ours. What director Ridley Scott has done with his mixture of sci-fi and horror is nothing short of extraordinary and that certainly extends to Prometheus, which is an expansion of that universe. If you’re a big fan like us then this is really a print your wall desperately needs!
Our friends at Grey Matter Art are celebrating Scott’s prequel with an exciting new Prometheus print by Gabz – one of our favorite artists ever! The print comes in two editions and will go on sale soon (scroll below for all the details). Gabz released the following statement regarding the collaboration and Prometheus:
I’ve been a fan of Alien franchise since the very beginning and always enjoyed terrifying yet mesmerising worlds created by Sir Ridley Scott, so I couldn’t be happier for having a chance to work on an officially licensed print for Prometheus. The idea for this poster struck me after re-watching it for the third time and I almost instantly started drawing… For me it was a sort of back to basics, because the image was entirely made with pencils on paper, later scanned and digitally enhanced in Adobe Photoshop, and later color separated for screen printing. I’m pleased to say it’s practically a personal work and really wanted to thank Grey Matter Art guys, Acme Archives Limited and Dark Ink Art for letting me do this piece my way. The idea was to depict Architect’s pale and godly profile with a human fetus inside his skull. Attentive viewer should be able to spot at least few references to xenomprph and H.R. Giger’s work that inspired “worlds scariest alien”. The title is “Creator of Men” or simply “Architect” and my intention was to yet again pay homage to Polish Poster School which is very close to my heart not just because of my origin. With this print, I also wanted to somehow recollect my earlier years, back when I was an art student and was absolutely obsessed with anatomy and human body in general. Hope fans of the franchise will appreciate my take on the film. — Gabz

We had the pleasure of meeting up with the guys at Grey Matter Art during a trip to New York Comic Con. Not only are they hitting it out of the park with their high-end collectible posters, but they are really great guys too.
