The Oscar pre-show gave me a name drop



I received a pretty cool mention from abc's pre-Academy Awards show "On The Red Carpet" for some artwork I did for Break.com (I'm also a writer/editor for the site).  Good times!

American Splendor from the Crypt






For Seattle's LTD. Art Gallery comic book themed show in March, I decided to do a mashup of Tales from the Crypt and American Splendor, merging the Cryptkeeper and Harvey Pekar drawn in the style of famed Splendor artist Robert Crumb. The quote is a Pekar line that I found fitting for the Cryptkeeper.
The original 11"x14" piece will be available for purchase as well as 20 prints.

Bowling Team Logo

Chicago bowling league

Just had to share this info.  A Chicago bowling league contacted me and asked if they could use one of my paintings as their team logo. I obliged as long as I could get a team photo in return. Sidenote: I know none of these folks. So random, and very cool.  Wishing these guys a great bowling season.

View original painting HERE.

A Cast of Currys

Cast of Currys
15"x18" acrylic on illustration board

Tim Curry is one of the best character actors ever. Felt he needed a collective tribute to his films and TV charactors featuring IT, Home Alone 2, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clue, Tales from the Crypt, Annie, Legend, Fern Gully and a subtle nod to Muppets Treasure Island (not one of my favorites but felt the need) as Darkness wears a I Heart M.T.I. button.

"Gonzo Reincarnate"

"Gonzo Reincarnate" 

My submission to the Patriotism themed art show at Chicago’s Gallery 27 - “Gonzo Reincarnate” 11”x14” Hunter S. Thompson if he were reincarnated as an American Bald Eagle complete with his signature tinted glasses, cigarette holder, Hawaiian shirt an American flag draped around him, holding a hand gun. I thought a Ralph Steadman-esque Colorado background (Hunter S. Thompson’s resting place) would complete the image. Opening July 7th, the original and signed/numbered prints will be available at the gallery.

Eat Your Art Out V

Eat Your Art Out V
11"x14" acrylic on canvas.

Theme:
1900’s traveling carnival. Inspired by the ethereal creepiness of this early American tradition, all artwork will depict this darkly styled atmosphere and reflect the curios and wonders one would expect to see during that era.
