As a fan of horror and the enigmatic Stephen King’s writing I’m more than honored to be a part of Hero Complex Gallery’s King For A Day exhibition. For the exhibition Beery Method created a rare and extremely limited edition screen print poster of the demonic dancing clown Pennywise from Stephen King’s IT. The entire show is an art tribute to King’s collected works, including his short stories, books, screenplays, TV shows and films. A portion of the proceeds of this show will benefit Mr. King’s charity of choice, The Haven Foundation www.thehavenfdn.org a non-profit service that serves to benefit freelance creators of all types who have found themselves unable to work due to disease or accident, much the way Mr. King himself was affected after the horrific car accident that changed his life in the summer of 1999.
Only 20 limited edition 2 color screen print posters were produced for the exhibition. Oversized posters of 18×23 on vintage smoke black archival heavy weight duraflex paper exude all the details and evil power of the IT character. Plastisol raised inks lift the print lightly off the surface making the entire design pop off the paper. Stylized half tones give the effect of Pennywise emerging from the dark and give a vibrant beckoning through the eyes of the evil clown. At the bottom of the poster are the words from the sewer scene where little asthmatic Eddie sprays Pennywise with his inhaler quoting: “This is battery acid you slime!” All prints come hand signed and numbered. A truly rare piece of Stephen King inspired art for any horror aficionado and King culture fan.
True “King” collectors will also have a chance to pick up very limited “It’s battery acid you slime!” die cut stickers at the opening as well. Limited to only 50 the 4×3″ stickers are loaded with all the demonic goodness that comes in poster form only this little piece of Pennywise art can go anywhere. Be sure to look for these the IT die cut stickers at Hero Complex Gallery.
