Down at the Barcade...

This is my submission to Gallery 1988's "Old School Video Game Art Show", taking place this Friday, September 16th at:
Gallery 1988: Venice
214 Pier Avenue
Santa Monica, CA 90405
http://nineteeneightyeight.com/

I decided to try and show what video game characters might do after a long hard day of fighting off a gorilla, chasing after a hungry yellow sphere, our endlessly pouring beers for thirsty customers (bartenders are never off-duty...). This was done using Micron ink pens and Prismacolor markers. The original piece and a very small edition of prints will be available at the show, and on the gallery's website the day after the show.

Pierced Pearl

"Pierced Pearl" is my contribution to the "Garbage Pail Kids" show at Gallery 1988 in LA. The show opens this Friday Sept, 2.

Prehistoric Pee Wee!

Check out my contribution to the "I Know You Are, But What Am I?"A Pee Wee Herman Tribute Art Show! The show is at Gallery 1988: Venice and opens tonight! This has to be my favorite show I've ever done for Gallery 1988 as Pee Wee is pretty much my favorite person ever! I watched the show, saw the movies, had the toys and most recently I got to see him do Pee Wees Playhouse on Broadway in NYC! Amazing, he really hasn't lost a step. So when i was asked to contribute some art to this show I had a really hard time figuring out what i wanted to do because i love everything he does! In the end I choose a scene from Pee Wees Big Adventure that had my 2 favorite things, Pee Wee and Dinosaurs! It will be on sale exclusively from Gallery 1988 at their location in Venice and on their website in a couple of days.

"A Loner, A Rebel..."

Coming up at Gallery 1988: Venice on July 29th will be "I Know You Art, But What Am I?: A Tribute to Pee Wee Herman". My Pee Wee inspired piece was selected by the gallery to be the postcard image used to promote the show. I'm lucky to participate with artists by the likes of Tom Whalen, Dave Perillo, Ian Glaubinger, and many, many more. If you're in the area of the Gallery next week, stop in and say "I don't train monkeys, I just train 'em!"

This is my submission for this weekend's Crazy 4 Cult 5 at Gallery 1988: Melrose, taking place this Friday, July 8th. I was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange", utilizing familiar items and phrases from the film, and incorporating them into a tattoo inspired design. The finished piece is an 18" x 24" 3-color screen print, with a print run of 100. The print will be for sale at the show on Friday night, and will be made available the next day via the Gallery 1988 website: http://www.nineteeneightyeight.com/

I hope you find it to be "real horrorshow"...
