About the Kong: Skull Island Mondo Posters:
With such an iconic character, we wanted to be sure we hired an artist who could meet the challenge. Francesco’s work on these is a true testament to a lifelong love of the giant ape, and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. He really stepped up and delivered on the brief, rendering a hirsute majesty breaking through the clouds like a god.
KONG: SKULL ISLAND hits theaters this weekend – go check it out! The posters will be available tomorrow (March 10, 2017) at a random time via mondotees.com. Follow Mondo News on Twitter to stay updated!

“I can safely say I am a lifetime fan of KING KONG. When I was offered the opportunity to draw the big ape on a poster for this new, badass edition, it really was a no-brainer. We really wanted to play on the majesty, the gigantic size of Kong, so after a couple of layouts, I came up with him looming, reaching over the island – a little nod to the classic image of King King looming over the NYC skyline. It helped that the movie has so much great visuals that I tried to implement in the layout.” – Francesco Francavilla
