The great Ghanaian artist Bright Obeng recently painted this comedic, yet equally haunting version of Brendan Fraser as a whale from Darren Aronofsky’s 2022 film. It’s one of our favorite images of all time, so we had to give it the proper treatment 🐳

See you Thursday through Sunday for @fantastic.fest at @drafthouseaustin 🐍
The great Ghanaian artist Farkira hard at work in his studio in Accra 👑
Send us a message if you’re interested in a commissioned painting by him or any of the legendary artists in Ghana were so fortunate to be partnered with!
If this isn’t the coolest thing you’ve seen all day, maybe put on your glasses and look harder?!?! The artists in Ghana have a long history of painting their own versions of tattoo related imagery, but this has gotta be one of the sickest of all time. Made recently by the legendary Ghanaian artist Heavy J, the original painting is actually available right now in our store 🐙

A few things to mention, but first of all, THANK YOU! Our customers are really showing up in support of the legendary Ghanaian artist Leonardo who recently passed. All proceeds from our store this weekend and into next week will continue to go toward his funeral fund. If you’d like to help, just go to our store and pick up anything you like!
Link in bio and stories or visit deadlypreygallery.com and click the shop icon ❤️🔥
Pictured here are shots from some of our favorite $23 prints by Leonardo. Hard Boiled is just $15 and actually might be my personal favorite, tho it’s basically impossible to choose!
🚨 All orders (excluding @staticmedium archival prints) placed before midnight tonight will ship tomorrow before we leave for @fantastic.fest in Austin. That exhibition runs Thursday the 21st - Sunday the 24th fyi! Since we’ll be unable to pack orders while we’re traveling, orders placed after tonight will ship the last week of September when we return from Austin.
This past week has been a tough one with the passing of our friend and colleague, the legendary Ghanaian artist Leonardo. We’ll be continuing to raise money for his family to help cover funeral expenses. If you’d like to support, just go to our store and buy anything you like - all proceeds from last week and this week will be going to that cause ❤️
Link to our store in the bio and stories or visit deadlypreygallery.com and click the shop icon.
His incredible muscle soaked version of Jaws is pictured here. It’s definitely one of the most classic images in the history of the hand-painted Ghanaian movie poster genre! We still have a few 24x36” limited edition @staticmedium archival prints of Jaws in our store (pictured here), so if you’re interested act fast 🦈 We also have the smaller $23 print version available, as well as a limited number of Jaws tank tops still available (scroll right). The tanks just came in btw, so be expecting them to arrive to you soon if you pre-ordered!
Thank you everyone for your kindness and support as we mourn the loss of this legendary artist 🕊️
As we continue to mourn the loss of our friend and colleague, the legendary Ghanaian artist Leonardo, it must be addressed that the family can use all the support they can get leading up to his funeral next month.
The outstanding work he did with Deadly Prey was his main source of income, so you can imagine how stressed his family must be at this moment. Currently we are collecting money from our store sales to donate to his funeral fund. Please visit our store (link in bio or www.deadlypreygallery.com) and buy whatever you like - that money will be going directly to his family to help pay for expenses. Thank you for your kind support, we’ll surely post updates here. Rest in Peace Leonardo ❤️
With a heavy heart and tears in my eyes, it’s my duty to report that we’ve lost the legendary Ghanaian artist Leonardo.
He leaves behind his wife, kids and grandchildren who could use all the help they can get leading up to his funeral next month. If you’re interested in supporting them during this trying time, please go to our store (link in bio or deadlypreygallery.com) and buy whatever you like. All of our sales for the time being are going to the family to help cover funeral expenses and whatever else they might need.
Calling Leonardo a legend in the hand-painted Ghanaian movie poster genre is an understatement. He’s a pioneer in the field, painting these posters since 1985. With thousands of hand-painted movie posters to his credit, no other artist has painted more than him and it’s not even close. He’s been working with Deadly Prey since we started in 2011, while Kofi has known him and looked up to him for 25+ years. This man was family to us all and we’re trying our best to keep it together while we mourn his loss. How fortunate we are to have known and worked with him for so long 💔
We’ll be in Austin @fantastic.fest @drafthouseaustin next week with hundreds of original paintings and prints!
The one thing you can count on with us is knowing there will always be more versions of Twin Peaks coming!!!! We’ll post the full shot of this new masterpiece by the great Ghanaian artist Mr. Nana Agyq soon 🏔️❤️🔥🏔️
Does this poster feel more like Heineken or Past Blue Ribbon?
The great Ghanaian artist Stoger recently painted this incredible version of David Lynch’s classic film Blue Velvet 💙 Yes, @kyle_maclachlan is holding a rotten severed ear and yes that’s Dennis Hopper’s gas mask floating in the air next to him!
This giant original painting is up for sale in our store today 😱 Link in the bio and stories or visit deadlypreygallery.com and click the shop icon.
One of a kind original painting made in Ghana, measures approx 42x64 inches. Painted on two sewn together recycled flour sacks.
