gremlins commission

so here's the backstory on this one:

• i originally designed a gremlins poster for inclusion in gallery 1988's 3G show this past fall.

• john louie, the actor who played the young boy whose grandfather refused to sell the mogwai at the beginning of gremlins, saw it and dug it.

• since the posters were sold out at the gallery, he contacted me asking if he could purchase one of my artist proofs, which i agreed to.

• john received said artist proof and subsequently got the idea to commission me to create a companion piece to the poster. he wanted it to feature him as a young boy, the mogwai, and his grandfather as well as references to his family (the chess pieces) and his chinese name (on the cabinet in front of the grandfather).

• i loved the idea and took the job.

• this is the result.

THE NERDIST MENTIONS 3G (Feat. Paul Scheer)

This is a bit old, but still rad!!! Chris Stewart just informed me that the 3G Show got mentioned on the popular Nerdist Podcast, Episode 38, featuring Paul Scheer! Paul mentions the show at 28:56, then later at 31:56. They also mention Autumn Society members Dave Perillo & Tom Whalen. Click on the picture to listen!

3G: ghostbusters

...and here's my third and final poster created for gallery 1988's upcoming
3G show.

in preparation for designing this poster, i sat down with "ghostbusters" for the first time in a looooong while. it was a staple of my childhood movie watching diet, and it's amazing how well it holds up. perfect comic timing, an original story (almost non-existent in movies today), and awesome special effects make for a true classic. oh, and rick moranis rules.

listen... do you smell something?

3G: goonies poster

here's my second poster created for gallery 1988's upcoming 3G show.

combining action, horror and comedy, "goonies" is a perfect example of a kids'

movie from the 80's. (and sloth still creeps me out.)

goonies never say die!

3G: gremlins poster

Here's the first of my 3 posters created for gallery 1988's upcoming 3G show!

"gremlins" was one of those flicks i adored as a kid. i watched it over and over and over as a kid and i'm thrilled to have had an excuse to illustrate a piece of art inspired by it.

four horsemen poster

here's my contribution to gallery 1988's upcoming poster show, "the greatest moments in sports history". the event is co-hosted by the awesome OMG posters and features a killer lineup of artists/designers and printmakers paying homage to their favorite sports teams/stars/moments throughout ages.

when i was invited to participate, it didn't take me long to decide to illustrate my beloved notre dame's famous four horsemen backfield. the print itself is a bit of a big deal to me, as it's my first silkscreened poster. the poster is 18" x 24" and is limited to an edition of 40. you'll have to see it in person to appreciate the quality of the job, but take my word that D&L screenprinting literally knocked it outta the park. can't wait to work with them again.
