In The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, viewers saw vacationer-turned-hero Ash Williams take on the blood-splattered horror and demented humor of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (aka Naturon Demonto) in one creepy cabin, but 1992's Army of Darkness took Ash back in time to new territory. Skuzzles has collaborated with MGM to create new limited edition posters celebrating the third entry in the horror comedy series.
From Skuzzles: "Attention all primitives. We recently teamed up with MGM Studios to release two beautiful designs for the cult classic film Army of Darkness featuring cult icon Bruce Campbell as Ash--Hail to the king, baby! To pay tribute to Army of Darkness, we called upon veteran artists Chris Weston (UK) and Jeff Boyes (Canada) to offer two completely unique illustrations in a variety of colors.
Here's a little bit from Jeff Boyes regarding his artwork for Army of Darkness:
"Army of Darkness is a quite the film to try and portray in a print! My main focus was always going to Ash, but I wanted to incorporate some elements from the movie without diving into a full-on collage. I ended up using the metal from the edge of the pit as a divider between Ash and the evil. The rest worked itself out from there. I also feel the colours helped punch Ash out from the detailed (and evil) background. DL Screenprinting helped my vision come to life with their amazing tone-on-tone work as well as their metallic inks. Thanks to Skuzzles and DL Screenprinting for their work on these! Hyped for you guys to see them in person!"
Each officially licensed movie poster will be a limited edition screen print, produced at DL Screenprinting."
