And There is the End (Invisible Man)

Mondo is pop culture brand, built for collectors. We work with incredible artists who share our passions to create posters, soundtracks, toys, and more – products that share a rare, unexpectedly vivid and timeless quality. Mondo humbly began as a quasi-bootleg t-shirt shop located in the basement storage hallway of a single-screen movie theater. In 2007, Mondo began working with major artists and studios to create beautifully designed licensed products. We started with posters, then soundtrack LPs, and finally toys and other items, and have blossomed into the ever-expanding hydra of entertainment collectibles that we are today. In 2022, we joined the Funko-verse, helping us to continue bringing fans and friends our curated approach to pop culture. Mondo, the collectible art division of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, will feature the iconic "Universal Monsters" for its next gallery show, which runs from October 19 through November 10, featuring both prints and original works of art from dozens of world-renowned artists including Martin Ansin, Rick Baker, Jason Edmiston, JC Richard, Drew Struzan, Ken Taylor, Kevin Tong and many more. The gallery opening on October 19 will be from 7:00 - 10:00pm with regular hours to follow for the show's duration. The Mondo Gallery is located at 4115 Guadalupe St. in Austin, TX. Watercolor is a water-based painting medium characterized by its transparency and luminosity, achieved through finely ground pigments mixed with a binder like gum arabic and water, applied to a surface with a brush. My name is Jacob van Loon. I am 26 years old and freelance from Chicago, IL. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a BFA in illustration. Before my time at Northern, I spent two years studying photography and fine arts at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines, IL, and a year at Waukesha County Technical College for graphic design. I seek inspiration more recently from modern fashion, architecture, and travel. - The most effective means of completing a visual idea lies in both the inquisitive nature of fine art, and the construct of efficient communication established by successful design. Combining methods and media allows me to do this. My painting combines unrelated concepts under the umbrella of a central point- the exploitation of miniscule observations. Aesthetic components influential to my paintings range from the Russian Constructivism methodology, to historical events that shaped commerce in the Midwestern United States. - I share my process and method on JVLendnote.com
