The Ultimate Snake Plissken Collectible: Matt Taylor’s “Escape From New York” Mondo Poster
Prepare for extraction with this striking alternative movie poster (AMP) for John Carpenter’s seminal 1981 sci-fi action film, Escape From New York. Designed by the highly acclaimed artist Matt Taylor for Mondo, this piece captures the gritty, dystopian essence of Manhattan Island, now a maximum-security prison.
Dystopian Style and Neon Intensity
Taylor’s artwork is a masterclass in modern retro-futurism. The poster features a brooding, eye-patched Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) centered against a dramatically rendered background. The Statue of Liberty looms menacingly, holding a rifle instead of a torch, symbolizing the failed liberty within the prison state. The background utilizes a striking palette of deep blacks, electric pinks, and neon blue grid lines, characteristic of the synthwave aesthetic, perfectly reflecting the movie’s early 80s technological dread.
A Must-Have for Cult Classic Fans
This is more than just a movie poster; it’s a premium piece of collectible art. Whether you are a dedicated fan of John Carpenter’s visionary work, a collector of official Mondo releases, or simply appreciate high-contrast graphic design, this print makes a powerful statement. Bring the attitude of “Call me Snake” to your home theater, office, or gaming space. This limited-edition design truly captures the legendary status of Plissken.

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.
