Artist Profile

Jay Shaw

Limited Edition Movie Posters & Art Prints

Jay Shaw has established himself as one of Mondo's most sought-after poster artists, working closely with the Austin-based gallery to create some of their most memorable releases. Shaw's collaboration with Mondo has produced a steady stream of limited edition screen prints that consistently sell out, marking him as a key figure in the contemporary alternative movie poster scene. His partnership with the gallery has been particularly fruitful, resulting in both individual releases and curated solo exhibitions.

Shaw's visual approach transforms familiar films into something deeply unsettling through his masterful use of negative space and organic forms. His 2014 "Iron Giant" poster, released in an extremely limited edition of just 110 prints, exemplifies his ability to reimagine beloved properties through a darker lens. Other notable works include his "Repo Man" screen print, issued in an edition of 195, and "Nesting," which showcases his signature technique of making the familiar feel ominous. His solo exhibition "Don't Go Out Tonight" demonstrated Shaw's particular affinity for horror cinema, where his atmospheric style finds its most natural expression.

Collectors prize Shaw's work for both its artistic merit and rarity, with his smaller edition runs like the 110-piece "Iron Giant" becoming highly coveted pieces. His Mondo releases consistently sell out quickly, often appearing on the secondary market at significant premiums. Shaw's ability to balance commercial appeal with genuine artistic vision makes his posters essential acquisitions for serious collectors of alternative movie art.
