Artist Profile
Chris Malbon
Limited Edition Movie Posters & Art Prints
Chris Malbon, known professionally as both Chris Malbon and "Melb," is a creative designer and illustrator based in Bristol, England. Operating from this vibrant UK city, Malbon has established himself as an active member of Bristol's thriving art and design scene, regularly giving talks at local colleges and contributing to the area's creative community. His work spans illustration, graphic design, branding campaigns, and commercial illustration, with a growing focus on alternative movie poster art that has captured the attention of collectors worldwide.
Malbon's portfolio demonstrates his versatility across genre filmmaking, with notable prints including his striking interpretation of "Looper" and "The Fury," the latter inspired by monster makeup master Rick Baker. His work on "It Comes At Night" showcases his ability to capture the psychological tension of contemporary horror, while his technical proficiency spans both digital illustration and traditional design elements. Malbon's aesthetic approach combines bold typography with carefully considered color palettes, creating poster designs that function as both promotional art and standalone collectible pieces.
The collectibility of Chris Malbon's work is defined by his strategic use of limited editions that create genuine scarcity in the market. His "Looper" poster was released in an extremely limited edition of just 10 copies, while "The Fury" was expanded to 50 copies, both printed at approximately 13" x 19" as fine art giclee prints. These small edition sizes, combined with his growing reputation in the alternative poster community, make Malbon's releases highly sought after by collectors who appreciate both his artistic vision and investment potential.
