Byron Howard Summer in Zootopia And Eric Tan Lazy River Day Prints Release

Cyclops Prints Works are extremely honored to be able to publish Academy Award winning Director Byron Howard's Summer in Zootopia serigraph art print -- releasing Friday at noon! Through extensive trial and error the print makers at Cyclops Print Works were able to faithfully and accurately recreate Byron Howard's painting as a 23-color serigraph, beginning with utilizing six shades of gray as an overlapping base layer. Each piece was then individually and carefully hand-signed by Byron Howard creating a limited-edition of only 200!

In addition to Byron Howard's Zootopia serigraph, they'll be releasing their first ever letterpress print featuring art by Disney artist Eric Tan! Cyclops were absolutely delighted with Eric Tan's piece when it was first featured on Disney's Instagram for Inktober and Papermum Press did a wonderful job turning it into a single color letterpress. Each letterpress is hand-signed by Eric Tan, and features hand-deckled-edges too!

Summer in Zootopia by Byron Howard and Lazy River Day by Eric Tan will be available on Friday May 5, 2017 at 12 PM PDT at www.cyclopsprintworks.com

Stacey Aoyama Inside Out Movie Poster Release

There is a new player in the poster game and it's Cyclops Print Works. Inside Out is a new movie from Disney & Pixar and it opens today. Today also marks the first release from Cyclops.

Cyclops Print Works Print #1: Inside Out

Artist: Stacey Aoyama (lettering work by Stacey Aoyama and Eric Tan)

Size: 18" x 24"
Technique: Serigraph | 23 colors
Edition Size: Limited Edition of 305
Features: Hand-signed/numbered | Deckled Edges | Authenticity Seal
Paper: Coventry Rag Vellum 320 gsm
Printed by: Eclipse Workshop
Officially Licensed by Disney/Pixar

The main artwork for this piece was done by Disney Consumer Products artist Stacey Aoyama in 2014 and it served as the official promotional French poster. The image was so well received that it began to spread throughout social media, where they actually saw it via their friend Danny Arriaga’s (Pixar’s Character Art Director) instagram. Cyclops fell in love with the image right away when they first saw it in February and they really wanted to do a limited serigraph edition as Cyclops Print Works’ inaugural piece. Both Stacey and Eric were thrilled with idea as well. The amount of colors actually ended being a lot more than initially anticipated (23 AND with deckled edges!!!), but they hope it will make Cyclops Print Works Print #1, all the more special.

Cyclops Print Works also hope to follow up with more prints in July and they'll have a booth with a few releases at D23 2015 in Anaheim, California.

Inside Out goes on sale Friday at  www.cyclopsprintworks.com at 11 AM PDT

Eric Tan Fly Show at Gallery1988

If you have wondered where Eric Tan has been you can find out this Friday night when "Fly," a solo show from Gallery1988 favorite Eric Tan, will take you on the ceremonial first flight of his own Tanner Airlines. Based on the artist's travels, he has created a number of limited edition screenprints advertising each destination he's spent time in. This fully comprehensive show is remarkable as Eric has even went the extra step and helped transform the gallery into his own travel agency.

In addition to the posters, Eric has created an environment of details for Tanner Airlines, which includes this custom made pilot's pin that will come free with purchases, while supplies last.

You CAN NOT miss this show! In the world of screenprints, it seems the same names pop up repeatedly from gallery to gallery, website to website. Eric Tan first debuted at G1988 in 2006 and was part of our very successful LOST campaign a few years later, becoming one of the top names in the field. Since then, he's only created a handful of posters, and now we're honored to debut a full new collection from Eric.

The show opens THIS Friday night, June 28th, from 7-10 PM at G1988 (East). Eric will be in attendance. The show will run through July 20th.

Four Eric Tan Cars 2 movie posters on sale

Kult Studio's have released 4 of Eric Tans's posters from the Cars 2 movie. The posters come as giclee's in two different sizes 13x19 on paper ($155) and 17x24 on canvas ($295). Both are numbered out of 295 and come with COA, only the canvas will be signed by Eric Tan. You can also get them framed

I will warn you right now this site is yet another navigational nightmare. Why people want to show off what their website can do instead of actually showing off what is on their website is beyond me. There is no way to just click on an artist's name and see everything from him.

The easiest way I figured out to see them all is go HERE and then search Eric Tan in the top right red box, but you have to do that after each time looking at a poster. Just a stupid fucking website layout.

Eric Tan Sleeping Beauty Poster on sale NOW

From Eric:

Here's something you may remember from a past post that's now available as a print, both on paper and on stretched canvas. Originally, my Sleeping Beauty poster was created for the "Disney's Art of Princess" book which came out last year. Although my daily duties as a designer have everything to do with boy's driven properties like Cars and Toy Story, I was stoked to get to work on something like this. Growing up on a steady diet of classic Disney animation will tend to do that to you. I definitely have fond memories of films like Peter Pan, Snow White, Jungle Book, and all the rest of them. Sleeping Beauty struck me as a kid, not so much for the story per se, but because I dug the design and look of the film, especially Maleficent - as a human and as a dragon, the castle, and all the amazing backgrounds. Eyvind Earle is a mad genius and it really stands out as one of the most beautiful animated films to look at. I hope you dig my tribute to this artistic classic! You can check out the print info at Acme Archives.

Eric Tan goes back the future for the Crazy for Cult Show

From Eric: (It's to good to paraphrase)

It's been a loooong time since I've posted anything. The combination of a massive project at work and completely changing up your art style for a project outside of work will do that. This is the piece I where I attempted a different style than I'm used to. It's a bit subtle, but it's a tribute poster for one of my favorite films of all time, Back to the Future. Being a huge fan of Mad Men-type retro advertising, I thought it'd be fun to create my very own magazine ad promoting the town of Hill Valley, circa 1955. I wanted to make it as convincing as possible while still hinting at the influence of Marty's visit to his future home town of the past. I'm not sure that even makes sense, but you kinda get the picture. The Delorean is pretty obvious sign, but there's also one subtle hint that Marty was there. Can anyone guess what it is?

Having collected a bunch of ads from that era, the only way I could really sell the idea was to paint the scene just like they did way back then. Since I'm used to vectors, and pen tools, and pathfinders, it really was a challenge to get this to look the way I wanted. I haven't painted anything like this since high school so I definitely was rusty and it took about 5 times as long than the usual poster takes me. But I'm glad I went through it. Although it was an arduous experience with tons of mistakes, it really became a relaxing process and a new challenge.

When my friends saw this laying on my desk, their initial reaction was "where the heck did you find that?", which was exactly the reaction I was looking for. It was good to try something new and not to rely on all the things that are automatic or predictable. As a great man once said: If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything! I hope you dig it as much as I enjoyed making it!

The poster is limited to 150, signed and numbered, is 24" wide by 18" high, and will be available at the Crazy for Cult show starting July 9th at Gallery1988.

Welcome to the Terrordome! New work by Eric Tan

From Eric:

Okay, if you've been following my blog for a while, you may remember a Mike Tyson something-or-another post I made about a year ago. Well, here's exactly where that project ended up. And no, I hadn't exactly worked on it nonstop for that entire year. This, my friends, is a case of what they call 'procrastination'. While I did have plenty of other projects in that time span, I really am worthless without a deadline, and so I always screw myself and wait til the very last minute to turn it in. I seriously need to take a time management course or something.

If you follow boxing, or sports in general, you're well aware of the shocker that took place in the heavyweight division 20 years ago. 'Iron' Mike Tyson was as close to a sure bet as we had ever seen in the ring. He was an undefeated and indestructible superhero who would annihilate everyone who stood in his path. NO ONE gave his opponent, James 'Buster' Douglas an ounce of hope that fateful night in Tokyo. When something impossible happens in front of your eyes, it's something you'll remember forever. Mike Tyson's defeat changed not only the landscape of the division, but the rest of his life as well. That's why I decided to capture this historic event for my contribution to Gallery1988's 'The Greatest Moment in Sports' show which starts March 4th - 26th.

The 'Manga' look is influenced by the setting where the fight took place. I was definitely inspired by video games like 'Street Fighter' when it came to the action. I highlighted their trademark moves (a la Ryu's Fireball or Guile's Sonic Boom) with Tyson's uppercut and Douglas' jab. All the Kanji was written by my coworker, Chisato. I believe the upper left says 'Final Battle', the stamp on the upper right says 'Iron', and the red headline type says 'War'. She does have a sense of humor and knows I can't read or write a word in Japanese, so I wouldn't be surprised if she screwed me on the translations. Oh well.

Like the Battlecat poster I finished last month, this really is a departure for me from a style standpoint. Lots of inking and a ton of mistakes made this a lot more time-consuming but a whole lot more fun too. Anything new is always a challenge and I'm never sure how it'll turn out in the end, but I hope you like it.
The poster itself is a 3-color silkscreen printed by the fine folks at D&L Screenprinting. It's pretty damn HUGE at 24" by 36" and there's 100 of them that are signed and numbered. I'll post prices as soon as that's figured out.

Eric Tan LOST poster update

From Eric:

Thanks to all the Lost fans who've been patient and checking in for updates on the poster. I've been trying to get it out asap, but hardcore deadlines at work and the fact that they're sending me to Hong Kong for several days next week will delay it just a wee bit longer. I'd like to be in the states for the sale just to make sure nothing goes wrong and you get the goods on time. I've definitely read all of the recommendations and I'll announce a set date but make it a random time. That seems to be the popular choice. Just make sure your Paypal mailing addresses are up to date. I'll post the site when I return the 1st week of February along with further instructions. Again, thank you to everyone who's checked in and supported the project. And I apologize for not getting the poster out sooner. Your loyalty to the show and enthusiasm for the posters have made me really wish it was an open run that everyone could get their hands on. Here's to hoping another Lost poster series happens.

Cheers!
Eric

Eric Tan Battlecat He-Man and The Masters of the Universe print

From Eric:

January brings yet another "Under the Influence" show thrown by the fine folks at Gallery1988 . This time, the subject matter a ton of amazing artists will pay tribute to is He-Man and The Masters of the Universe! I had a lot to draw on for this one cuz frankly, He-Man - along with Transformers, G.I.Joe, and Robotech, ruled my childhood. My room was filled with these crazy action figures. I never had the fortune to get a hold of that badass playset known as Castle Greyskull, but we did have Battlecat, the 2nd best thing about that toy series! By far, he was the fiercest looking character and I knew I had to do my own interpretation of that ferocious feline when it came to my piece.

I know what you're saying, "That poster looks absolutely NOTHING like your other stuff! What the heck happened????" Well, that "flat, simplified" look that came from working on 'The Incredibles' poster series & that I've used a lot over the past few years didn't quite seem fitting on this occasion. The 1st thing that came to mind when I decided on Battlecat was the idea that he looked like a samurai warrior with that head dress and armor. I ran with it and gave it the whole traditional Japanese scroll treatment. Instead of blocky shapes, I broke out a brush and some ink. It was quite liberating not having to vectorize this time and I hope it doesn't completely disappoint those who prefer the style I usually do. Don't panic, I'm pretty sure you're see more of the 'flat' stuff down the road.

For those of you who might actually dig this one, the show starts on Friday, January 8th til the 29th. The dimensions are 14" wide by 30" tall and it's a lithograph printed on some pretty thick, textured paper. It's a signed and numbered edition of 123. I believe it also goes on sale online after the opening. By the power of Greyskull!!!!
