HUNGRY MONKEY - A Roberson-Francavilla Threadless Tee
~~ Click on the image for big poster ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

this is not really a film (even if it should be ;)) but the front and back image for a t-shirt I did with my dear friend & talented iZombie writer, Chris Roberson, with the fine folks at THREADLESS :)

What I titled here -in this mockup movie poster- as HUNGRY MONKEY is the part 4 of 4 different "MONKEY AROUND" t-shirts, all written by Chris and illustrated by me and some of my coolest friends: Mike Allred, Colleen Coover, and Chris Samnee.

You can order my HUNGRY MONKEY tee here.

Hope you guys dig them and have a wonderful Pulp Sunday, everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Phantoms of Space
Phantoms of Space

Hello Pulp Friends :)

I came up with this classic, low budget (Italian maybe?) sci-fi movie for fun, but now its story is screaming to come to life from outer space: what do you guys think? Should I listen to that screaming voice from beyond and bring "PHANTOMS OF SPACE" to your screens (or shelves)? Pls let me know what you think :)

Oh, if I do, I am gonna need some popcorn ;)

Cheers,
Francesco

MADMAN: The Chilling Tale of Frank Einstein

MADMAN
Click on it for the larger classic horror movie poster!!! ;)

Hello Pulp Friends,

My good friend Mike Allred's magnificent & oversized MADMAN MONSTER is out today (I believe it measures 11x17" like those awesome IDW Artists' Edition books).
I am happy to say that this gorgeous book includes this little poster I did of Madman in the vein of the Classic Universal Horror movies.

Hope you guys dig it and I hope you have that extra $$ to pick up the book: totally worth the price, trust me :)

Cheers,
Francesco
