Hand Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Screen Print (36" x 12")
Mint Rolled; Artist Rob Loukotka
Gallery 1988, 2013

With an image bathed in blue and red police lights, this Blues Brothers inspired Screen Print called "We're On A Mission From God" by artist Rob Loukotka captures the rebellious spirit of the John Landis-helmed comedy. This poster was released by Gallery 1988 in conjunction with their Is This Thing On 2 - A Tribute to SNL in March 2013 and is a three-color Limited Edition print on French sand speckle tone paper that is both Hand Signed in the lower right corner by Loukotka and Hand Numbered in the lower left corner 63/180 in pencil. Through creative vision and original inspiration, Alternative Art in the form of Limited Edition Screen and Giclee Prints has vastly become a big part of the movie poster collecting industry amongst artists, fans, and galleries. With some starting as early as the 2000s, companies like Mondo, Spoke Art Gallery, Bottleneck Galleries, Vice Press, Mad Duck Posters, Skuzzles, and more have procured some of the most talented artists in the world to create lush and loving fan-desired art that was never available before. What began as a very small alternative for those seeking something unique from their favorite film has turned into a major industry where the best posters can sell out in a matter of minutes. Renowned names like Drew Struzan, Roger Kastel, Laurent Durieux, Tyler Stout, Olly Moss, Ken Taylor, Killian Eng, Mark "Jock" Simpson, Steve Chorney and so many others have shown there is indeed demand for amazing art that is sometimes as good as or even better than the original posters from a film.

The print is in mint condition showing no signs of being used or displayed. It shows only the most minimal signs of handling.

Based on a Saturday Night Live sketch featuring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, The Blues Brothers is a comedic love letter to blues and soul music and a raucous celebration of wide-scale automotive carnage.

Estimate: $200 - 400
