Frame #14



DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com & Ronie Midfew Arts are proud to be continuing the "LOST Underground Art Project." The 14th limited edition print, celebrating the greatest "water cooler" moments from the ABC television show "LOST" is by artist Todd Slater and focuses on Ben Linus. This poster sold out in about 1 minute.

This is the 14th print, of an eventual set of 16, and was revealed at Abe Lee Realty in Honolulu, Hawaii. Followers of the campaign in Hawaii who went to Abe Lee Reality spotted a brochure in the office that didn't quite fit in. A limited edition Ajiri Airline Safety and Travel Brochure, created by graphic designer Adam Campbell, was available for free. And once they looked closely, the back of the business card stapled to the packet gave them the new website address.

These prints are limited to 300, but less than 200 are available for purchase. Each is signed and numbered and 18 x 24 inches.

You can view this print at NoSuchThingAsCurses.com and follow the entire project at DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com, which may involve free LOST events and stunts in your area to announce the newest print!

Mondo Awesome



I couldn't be more excited to announce this one-night event here at G1988:LA. You've seen the incredible posters and t-shirts they sell over at Mondotees.com before - I know I have a few of those posters hanging in my place - and now you can see them in person here in LA. The show will be a literal cinema-inspired art explosion with cult movie t-shirts and exclusive, rare and already sold out posters from Texas based Mondo's history! Which is nuts. I already know the new movie posters we'll be selling exclusively - and they are insane! We'll have some some awesome in-gallery events which includes artist Skinner doing custom-painted art prints, Kevin Tong creating customized hand-drawn movie prints and Harry Diaz live screenprinting custom movie merchandise. If you're a film lover, and are obsessed with with Mondo has done in the past, you can not miss this event. ALSO, when will you have the chance to buy posters from their sold-out archive again?

Stop by Friday night, Nov. 20th from 7-10 PM....

DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com & Ronie Midfew Arts are proud to be continuing the "LOST Underground Art Project."

This poster sold out in about 3 minutes.

This is the 13th print, of an eventual set of 16, and was revealed at SPIN NYC, a new ping-pong club in Manhattan, Mew York. Those who went to SPIN NYC were surprised to find, and be able to take home, Dharma logo glow-in-the-dark ping pong balls with the new website printed on them. Also, fans with eagle eyes, may have learned a thing or two about upcoming developments on their favorite TV program.

N.Y.ou

Recently I was asked to speak at NYU's prestigious Stern School of Business and obviously responded with a quick, "Are you sure you have the right guy?" Once I got over the initial shock, I accepted the invitation and found myself speaking in front of an undergraduate class today.



Having never stepped foot in a business course during my years at USC, I bring a rather different approach to a class like this. I don't own a suit, most of our biggest deals (including past dealings with large corporations) work off a handshake, and I don't have many distinct answers for "How did you do it?" type questions. But I do tell my story, which does start with this...



...and focuses on the concept of doing something you love and creating/promoting product you believe in. I want to thank all the students in the class who were able to at least fake some interest and David Obstfeld for hooking it up. After a few of these, I'm hoping more opportunities to speak come up soon.
