A muscular and fireloving blond tortures two officers in a police car as (probably drug abusing) onlookers revel. An original poster artwork for the film Quemadas Vivos (Burned Alive).

This original gouache highlights the excesses of the Mexican B-movie--it is hedonism and anti-authoritarianism taken to extremes. An unusually gruesome offering by the talented and prominent Mexican poster illustrator Dinorín.

Grapefruit Moon Gallery is pleased to offer this collection of vintage 1970's-1980's original commissioned illustrations for the Mexican movie industry.

These gouache paintings borrow from and expand upon the style and iconography of lurid and spicy pulp fiction illustrations. Damsels in distress, vampires, and noir crime scenes abound in these striking illustrations.

Recently, there has been a burgeoning interest in Mexican calendar, poster, and movie art, and the potential for this new to the market genre is only going to continue to grow!
