El Rockin' Jelly Bean vs Zombies, the silkscreen poster drawn for the sixth anniversary party of Erostika. It borrows the layout and the Spanish patter of a Mexican wrestling bill, and the sheet measures 72 x 51.5 cm.
The Piece
A masked luchador in purple and gold squares up to a green zombie beneath the anniversary lettering, with a guitar band, a hooded skull and the evening's acts crowded around them in flat, saturated colour. The complete composition includes nude figures and is intended for adult collectors, so it is presented here in cropped views.
Rockin' Jelly Bean is the masked Japanese illustrator behind Erostika, the Harajuku studio and gallery he founded in the 1990s. His work joins American poster craft, lowbrow comic drawing and the pin-up tradition, and his prints are issued in small numbered editions.

Authenticity & Care
Described as an Erostika silkscreen poster made for the sixth anniversary event. These are the owner's statements and the photographs support them, but the Desk has not yet handled the work, and a team of curators checks every detail in Japan before dispatch. Once framed, keep it behind UV-filtering glazing, away from direct sunlight and damp.
Delivery from Japan
The print is packed by hand in Japan, flat between rigid boards, never rolled. Shipping is quoted and agreed with you before purchase, weighing EMS, then FedEx, then air cargo, all insured and tracked. Duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival.
