Here are my two pieces for the upcoming old school video game themed art show at gallery1988 (Venice). The show opens Friday October 26th and runs for about a month.

 The first is a four panel acrylic painting on wood. Each panel is 12" x 12". I actually did this piece a couple years ago with the hope that someday it would be a part of g1988's I am 8-bit shows. I'm glad I could finally dust it off and get it out of my basement.

The second piece is a print I just finished up on to go with my koopa toopa series. Its a three color, hand pulled screen print measuring 19" x 12". Both will be on sale through g1988's website at nineteeneightyeight.com

DEATH FROM ABOVE & MORE

A pair of pieces to show to you today. First up is a print I did for Gallery 27's current show, "This Will Increase Your X" The theme is a clever spin on the usual pop/video game theme with pieces inspired by video game power up! My print is based on the blue shells of death from the MarioKart series.

It's the 3 color print and is about 11"x15.5" in size. The show opened last Friday and will be up for about a month. Visit gallery27chicago.com for more info.

Next print is for the upcoming Crazy 4 Cult show in NYC. That's right, gallery 1988 has taken their show on the road and brought their signature event to the east coast. Opening reception is August 9th from 6-9pm at 64 Gansevoort St, NY, NY 10014. Show runs for about a month. My piece is inspired by "Little Shop of Horrors" and the various store posters that were in the window of Mushnik's throughout the movie. For more info visit nineteeneightyeight.com

The Dude

Hey folks, this is my piece for the Crazy 4 Cult show...  I decided I'm going to show the original mylar drawings in the show instead of a digital print.

They are also up on my blog

I Just Blue Myself

A little late to the party as the show opened last Friday (sorry, combination of vacation and laziness). Here is my piece for Gallery1988's show "There is Always Money in the Banana Stand". I (and it seems many others) have a special appreciation for David Cross and his Tobias Fünke character. I wanted to recreate his head shot from the series and show off the characters acting range.

The show is up for a month. Bad news- gallery1988 is already sold out of the unframed prints I sent them. Good news- I have more! They'll be on my etsy page after the show comes down. Enjoy!

Bluth's Original Frozen Banana

Here's my piece for Gallery1988's "There's Always Money in the Banana Stand," a tribute to Arrested Development. The show opens tonight at the gallery's Melrose location.

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!

"Excuuuuse Meeeeeeeee" a tribute to Steve Martin

Here's my print for Gallery 1988's upcoming tribute show to Steve Martin. It's a three color, hand pulled screen print. It measures about 10.25" x 16" and has an edition of 35.

This was a lot of fun to work on. Not only is Mr. Martin one of my favorite actors but Parenthood is one of my favorite movies from my childhood. Although after re-watching it I can safely say that I didn't understand half the movie or the jokes when I was a kid. Especially grandmas innuendoes. Anyway, hopefully people get the reference as I know its not one of his most well known films. 

The show opens Friday, June 9th and runs for about a month at Gallery 1988, Venice.

I Can Has Meme Cards?

Here's my piece for the Memes show currently up at Gallery 1988! The show is also a celebration of the Gallery's 8th anniversary, so I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

I'm a fan of way too many internet memes to just pick one, so I came up with this trading card idea as a way of drawing all my favorites. The cards are actually standard trading card size on the prints, which you can buy here from the gallery.

Also, check out this video of opening night.

Avengers Assemble at Gallery 1988
