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.

He went extinct for your sins!

Here is my contribution to the upcoming g1988 show "Memes, a tribute to the internet's favorite creations". The show opens this friday at 7020 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90038. Its one of the more ridiculous show ideas in a while and I'm glad I could be a part of it. Its also g1988's 8th anniversary so its sure to be a good time. I had a lot of fun with this project. This handsome Raptor Jesus is a 4 color hand pulled screen print. Show runs for about a month and remember to hide your sin, he's learned to open doors.
