Large Marge on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Hello Society!

Since the Gallery 1988 Pee Wee Show is just around the corner, I figured I'd share something I helped work on in the past year. I was asked to help out with the stop-motion animation portion of this bit, in which Jimmy turns into Large Marge live on air. From start to finish, it was all done within a 24 hour period. Big shout out to Late Night's graphics guys Edmond Hawkins, Joel Knutson and John MacDonald who did tons of post-fx magic to make it look just right!

Bonus: Here's a Behind The Scenes video that shows how we pulled it off-

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 make monkeys, I just train 'em!"

Good Morning, Mr. Breakfast.

Hey there. Here's my contribution to Pee-Wee. I must say that I don't have a fantastic memory for things that happened prior to about 2 or 3 years ago, but I clearly remember sitting in a completely packed theater on opening night of Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985). The audience cheered and laughed so hard at every joke that night that a second viewing was required to absorb all the plot intricacies and existential humour ("I know you are, but what am I?") that shaped this work of genius.

Pee-Wee Tribute Show

Hello all, here is the piece I did for the Gallery1988 Pee-Wee Herman Tribute Show. Before I started, I re-watched the movie to get inspiration and I had forgotten how much bike and dinosaur goodies are in it. Being a dinosaur and bicycle guy myself I just had to add them to my tribute piece. Its a five color screen print and is about 8.5" x 16". Look for it come August at gallery1988! Enjoy!

Currently I'm plugging away on what I think is the following Gallery 1988 themed show....guess who?

Here's what I have so far, I expect to have this sucker in the mail mid next week.

After this I get to finish coloring a dead shark, drawing a Garbage Pail Kid and Chuck Norris.....life is good.

Tales of Crazy 4 Cult

I headed out to California last week for the Crazy 4 Cult 4 show and it was one of the most amazing trips of my life. You can read about it in more detail here; I'll spare ASoP blog readers the long version! Chogrin just wanted me to share this one tidbit with you guys so that you are aware of the kinds of cool things that can happen when you participate in Gallery 1988 shows, such as the upcoming Autumn Society 3G collaborative show. Not only did I get to meet Seth Green, but he actually bought my piece! As I've been telling people, I was already a little nervous when I introduced myself to him, but I turned into a fanboy puddle when I found out he bought my work.

Also, I'm one of the long-distance ASoP members so this was my first time meeting Chogrin in person, and you couldn't hope to meet a nicer guy.

Here is my piece for this year's Crazy 4 Cult show at Gallery 1988 LA. As you can tell, I chose Pee-Wee's Big Adventure as my subject matter. This thing was a beast that I've been working on in chunks for several months. Right now there are plans for an edition of 50 prints to be ready by the shows opening on July 9.

Interview & Prints.

A great little blog featured my work along with an interview and short video. Check it out!

Also, I am glad to announce that I finally have a shop set up with some archival prints of my work. You can also check that out HERE!

Pee Wee prints now available on my Etsy.
