About This Print
The Man Who Fell to Earth Mondo Poster by Martin Ansin
Immerse yourself in the cryptic world of Nicolas Roeg’s 1976 sci-fi masterpiece with this extraordinary alternative movie poster. Created by the renowned artist Martin Ansin for Mondo, this print captures the essential duality and isolation of Thomas Jerome Newton, the alien protagonist brilliantly played by David Bowie. This is more than just a poster; it is a piece of collectible cinematic art, celebrated for its unique visual interpretation of the film’s themes.
Visual Masterpiece and Cinematic Iconography
Ansin’s artwork features David Bowie in his iconic human guise, yet revealing the desolate landscape of his dying home planet, Anthea, within his very core—symbolized by the orange glow visible through his open shirt. The composition is striking: Bowie’s current, orange-haired persona stands in front of a shadowy, monochrome reflection, emphasizing his psychological split and the loss of his true identity. In his hand, he holds a glass, nodding to the character’s descent into earthly vices and human frailty. The stylized title typography and the subtle cosmic dust filling the background complete this visually dense and evocative interpretation of the cult classic.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
