Cylcops Print Works are releasing two brand new Inside Out-inspired art prints on February 5 at noon (Pacific time). The first print is a poster from Tom Whalen, who has done equally mind-shattering prints based on other Disney and Pixar films (most recently Lilo & Stitch). The twelve-color print is 24” x 36” and has a hand-numbered run of 330. (Ialso heard there will be some emotion-inspired variants.) “I arrived at the final design you see after a longer-than-usual experimentation process. I can usually distill the essence of a film pretty quickly, but Inside Out proved a bit more challenging. I recall watching the film for the first time and enjoying all of the metaphor that was at play between the way the emotions behaved and Riley’s actions. I wanted a little bit of that metaphor to come into play in this poster,” Whalen explained. Whalen added: “Overall, this was a project that asked me to dig a bit deeper in order to produce an end result that’s worthy of an incredible film.”
Speaking of Bing Bong, the second print is from Dave Perillo, who brings Riley and Bing Bong’s song to life. Featuring all of the lyrics from the ear worm-y ode to everyone’s favorite imaginary friend, plus stylized renditions of young Riley and Bing Bong, the seven-color print is 10” x 20” and has a hand-numbered run of 250. Dave Perillo had this to say about his serigraph: “After seeing Inside Out, Bing Bong was my favorite part of the movie. I found it so interesting exploring what becomes of a child’s imaginary friend as she would get older. I wanted to approach this piece in the style and tone of a children’s book, something that you might see in a vintage Golden Book. The biggest challenge was translating a three-dimensional animated character to work as a flat two dimensional imagery.”
Both posters will be on sale Friday at 3pm EST at CyclopsPrintWorks.com
