My cast's local theatre, the Alamo Drafthouse, has commissioned a poster
set to promote our Rocky Horror Picture Show screenings. The first
poster is now available:

http://www.mondotees.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3580&HS=1

The artwork is by Ken Taylor in Australia, who apparently does a lot of
work for bands like NIN, Slayer, etc. This poster is intended to be the
first in a series of four. The next ones would feature Brad & Janet,
Frank & Columbia, and finally Eddie & Rocky. This will only happen if
they sell at least 75 prints of this one though.

The posters are four color silkscreen prints in metallic ink on heavy
stock art paper, and are individually numbered. If you look closely at
the bottom you can just make out where it says "Shadow cast performed by
Queerios!". Hey, that's us! :-)

AWESOME artwork, Shawn! I like the pulp novel style to it. Very, very
cool

I don't know specifically, I just passed on what info they gave me. The
only number I heard was the 75 target for being able to commission other
characters. You can probably e-mail them at <st...@mondotees.com> to
ask. They do have a poster archive posted, showing a lot of past
posters no longer available:

I'm happy to report that they've just released the second poster in this
set, featuring Frank-N-Furter and Columbia:

Once again the artwork is by Ken Taylor in Australia, who apparently

does a lot of work for bands like NIN, Slayer, etc. This poster is

intended to be the second in a series of four. The next ones would
feature Brad & Janet and Eddie & Rocky. This will likely only happen if

they sell at least 75 prints of this one though.

The posters are four color silkscreen prints in metallic ink on heavy

stock art paper, and are individually numbered. I don't know how large
the run is. You'd need to contact them for any further questions, as
I'm just relaying the information I have from them.
