Dork Art: Mike Mitchell's Mondo Portrait Gallery

A few days ago I posted my Week in Dork with a header image provided by Mike Mitchell's Django Unchained portrait.  It's a striking piece of art that's only just a portion of the Mondo Gallery show currently on exhibit in Austin, Texas.  Ah, to live in that hipster paradise....sigh.  I can only hope that some of these appear as prints at this year's SPX cuz I desperately want to put the above Dredd shot in my bathroom.  Why, the bathroom?  Not sure, exactly.  Above the toilet, keeping watch, disapproving Karl Urban.  Just seems right.

DORK ART: Mondo's Game of Thrones Gallery At SXSW

Yesterday, Mondo opened their Game of Thrones gallery to the lucky folks attending SXSW.  One day, I will bask in the glory of that film festival, but I'm afraid that's a few years off (especially with all my dork money going into the Comic Con Mecca).  But for now, we sad lot will have to enjoy the pleasures from afar.

Anyway, I just finished the second season of Game of Thrones and even though I didn't think it was as exciting as the first, it's still damn fine television.  Not surprisingly, a lot of the pieces focus on the Mother of Dragons & Peter Dinklage.  Can't say I really blame them, those two are the most interesting aspects of the show.
