Star Wars And Indiana Jones Prints Coming From Mondo

Pop culture art company Mondo announced this morning that they are teaming with ACME Archives to create and offer licensed prints for Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Of course you now that Mondo has the Star Wars license for a very short time where they created some of the most amazing Star Wars art outside of Drew Struzan's iconic illustrated posters. This included original trilogy sets by Olly Moss and Tyler Stout. This new partnership could bring us some real amazingness as Mondo works with some of the top arts today. Hit the jump to see the first print in this upcoming partnership.

The first print in this partnership between Mondo and Acme is a profile of Luke Skywalker in his X-Wing pilot gear create by Mike Mitchell. It is the first in a series of Star Wars profiles from Mitchell. The 12" x 16" giclee print, titled "Red Five," will be available as a timed sale for 72 hours starting on Thursday, March 17. I own some of Mitchell's prints but I've never been a huge fan of his profile series — I guess I'm more into traditionally styled poster artwork.

But it is cool that this is being sold as a timed edition, which will allow anyone who wants to buy the print the ability to do so within the 72 hours it's on sale. I'm wondering if the same thing will be done with future releases.

What might we expect from the Mondo/Acme partnership? What kind of cool Star Wars and Indiana Jones prints can we expect? Who knows. I'm hoping for some really cool stuff on Indiana Jones because we've already gotten a lot of great Star Wars art but a lot of the big artists have not yet tried their hand at Indy. Imagine Moss or Stout doing an Indiana Jones set? Or imagine either of those artists doing a Star Wars: The Force Awakens poster to add side by side with their work inspired by previous trilogies. Let's not forget that artist Olly Moss Instagrammed the following photo 11 weeks ago:
