SUPER iam8bit - The Evolutionary Biology of Hyrule


Well it had been almost 3 years since LA-based production company iam8bit put on one of their legendary eponymous video game themed art shows, but it was worth the wait! SUPER iam8bit opened to the general public on August 11th at the recently renovated iam8bit headquarters located in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.

For my contribution to the show, I created Magna Arbor Vitae Deku (traslated “The Great Deku Tree of Life”) a sprawling exploration of the evolutionary biology of the 200 most important species from the Legend of Zelda video game series. Complete with binomial Latin names (Zora Bellator and Zora Fluvialis share a common ancestor with the more peaceful species Zora Sapien, for example), the brances of the Deku tree trace the evolution of each species over millions of years. Forks in the branches indicate an extinct common ancestor of the species that follow.

Detail of some lifeforms from the Plantamalia phylum
Detail of some lifeforms from the Zora genus, the Blin genus, and some other amphibians and mammals
Detail of some lifeforms from the Primate order, as well as some other mammals
Detail of some lifeforms from the Draconem genus, the Dinosauria superorder, and the Aves class
All the species grouped by scientific binomials

Magna Arbor Vitae Deku will be available in a very limited edition of 15 at the SUPER iam8bit opening (#1 will be framed in a cool one-of-a-kind distressed wooden frame).

Fetchez la Vache

This is my piece for the Crazy 4 Cult 5 show in LA. I'm very excited to be a part of such an incredible show with such incredible artists. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of my favorite movies of all time. I hope I did it justice.

This was no boating accident...

This is the first of two pieces I did for this years Crazy 4 Cult show at Gallery 1988. I was so stoked to do a Jaws print, it's one of my favorite movies. It's one of those movies that if I see it on TV i must watch, even though i've seen a ton of times and I could just pop in the DVD, but there's definitely something cool about catching it on TV. Plus, this year is the 35th anniversary of the film and it being summer right before the 4th of July really puts me in the mood for Jaws.
This will be available through the gallery starting July 9th, it's a 11" x 17" limited edition of 55 signed and numbered 5 color screenprint done by the fine folks at D&L Screenprinting who in my opinion are the absolute best in the business for screenprinting. I will post the other piece closer to the show, it quite scrumpdiddleumptious (hint, hint.)...
