Steve Martin Tribute

www.albinoraven.com

Here's my piece for the Steve Martin tribute show going on right now at Gallery 1988's Venice location.

I based it on what is quite possibly my favorite Steve Martin movie, Planes Trains and Automobiles.

You can buy a print of this piece here!

"North by Northwest Passage" for Alfred Hitchcock Show, "Suspense and Gallows Humor"

"North by Northwest Passage"

22" x 22" Gouache on paper

 I've loved "North by Northwest" for a since the first time I saw it - the visuals, the music, the tiny razor gags, but most of all, the urban/rural scene hopping, from New York, to Chicago, to South Dakota.  So - I thought I'd throw together a sort of scenic chart of all the actual locations in the movie - the only fictional one being the Northwest Airlines terminal, which no longer exists and I couldn't find reference for (but for "North by Northwest", I figured I'd take a little liberty).  Also not included are the 1212 Michgan Ave Auction house and the hospital in Rapid City, as they were shot on soundstage in Hollywood.    Even with that, it was a bit of a beast.  Lots of research, lots of windows . . . The cars are also accurate from the initial 57 Skoda 440 cab to the '51 White Freightliner the plane crashes into, to the '52 Ford Customline Cary Grant rescues the girl in.  I took color from the footage to get some of that "technicolor" feel, and blatantly ripped off Saul Bass' opening credit arrows to show the action.

Anywho - the show opens at the Gallery1988 Venice location on April 13th!

Here's one that's on display at Gallery 1988 in Santa Monica. It was done in ink and gouache on watercolor paper.

"Down at the Barcade..."

This is my submission to Gallery 1988's "Old School Video Game Art Show." 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.

Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong, my next show piece with Gallery 1988 Venice for the Old School Video Game Show!

I picked Kong because it literally was the first video game I ever played as a kid. Years before Nintendo, my dad bought me a Colecovision, you know the one with the paddles? At the time it was considered the generic Atari. Kong was the first game I ever received. So for me Donkey Kong is about as "old school" as I could ever get.

This show is going to be insane and overflowing with talent and this show will be especially fun because I'll be joined with a few of my fellow PLANET-PULP mates and Autumn Society Alumns. Joining me will be Tom Whalen, Scott Derby and Dave Perillo along with fellow Pulper Stan Chow

Join us September 16th
214 Pier Ave.
Santa Monica, CA 90405

You can buy this print on the Gallery1988 website a day or two after the show starts providing they don't sell out, in which case I'll be selling the remaining artist proofs I have, just email me.

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 make monkeys, I just train 'em!"

3B

Hey folks,
Everyone's 3B pieces are most excellent. Here are mine...

"I'm sorry... They melvined me."

"Damn, where is that kid? Damn...Damn damn."

"Come a little closer. Step right up! Test your strength!"

3B!

Here's my contributions to the up-coming '3B Show' @ Gallery 1988 Venice. After being involved with last years '3G Show' I was super stoked to be asked to participate again this year and I wanted to change things up and do digital prints of the characters (each in a fancy frame) as a change from the wood block guys I submitted last time and it was real fun to have a go at characters that all made such an impact on me as a kid…

3B show at gallery 1988

Here are my pieces for the upcoming 3B show at gallery 1988. I was trying to figure out a way to A) tie each piece together and B) get back into screen printing. I settled on two color wanted posters (which look way better in person). Side note: Why do all good movie heros and heroines alway break a crazy amount of laws?
