Follow Up: Jay Shaw's "Don't Go Out Tonight" Art Show

If you've never heard of Blue Underground, then there's a good chance you've never experienced some of cinema's most shocking, action-packed, exploitative, gory, and hilarious guilty pleasures in existence. Founded by William Lustig (the same mad man who brought us Maniac, Vigilante, and Maniac Cop 1, 2, and 3), Blue Underground has become a cineaste's dream thanks in large part to their exhaustive film restoration and unceasing dedication to sharing the beautiful, strange, and disturbing with us all. Mix in some Jay Shaw, an artist the poster community has come to love over the last year and a half, and who's been entrusted with creating a show inspired by the titles in Blue Underground's library, and you've got yourself one truly twisted art collection. Now, in all honesty, Blue Undergound's films are very niche, but I was still a bit surprised that so many of the prints from Shaw's "Don't Go Out Tonight" show are still available. With that said, I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth and would recommend picking up one, two, or ten of these prints as soon as possible.

If you have any interest in these cult classics, I'd recommend pulling the trigger sooner than later. To learn more about artist Jay Shaw, head over to kingdomofnonsense.com and follow him on Twitter @tweetofnonsense. For the record, I snagged Shaw's Django (no longer available), Torso, The Prowler, The New York Ripper, and The Nesting posters.
