30 Days of April

This is a Varga-esque tribute I did of famous Channel 6 NYC news reporter and friend to turtles, April O'Neil. Was done as a very limited print run and there are a few still available via Bottleneck Gallery website HERE.

In Vegas, everybody's gotta watch everybody else...

This is my "Casino" inspired piece for Spoke Art's tribute to Scorsese show that opened in NYC last weekend. Always felt Casino was an underated Scorsese film and loved the fact that the F word is uttered a whopping 398 times during the course of the movie, the edited for TV version is a real hoot with such classic redubs as "Forget me? Forget you you mother forgetter!" There are a few prints left now available online HERE!

Return the map!!!

Below is my piece for Bottleneck Gallery awesome new show opening tomorrow night (4/12) in Brooklyn, NY. The show is called "When the Lights Go Out" and the art in the show glows in the dark. I've been wanting to do something Time Bandits related for a long time since it's probably in my top ten of all time favorite movies, thought this was a perfect opportunity.

Any prints left over from the opening will go up for sale sometime Saturday 4/13 on Bottleneck's Website. Here's all the details about the piece and the flyer for the show which I also had the opportunity to design.

And he's delicious! Just like the good ol' days of roasting marshmallows at Camp Waconda, nothing compares to Stay Puft brand marshmallows. This is my contribution to Gallery 1988's Product Placement show that opens tomorrow night 3/9. Theme of the show was to create a screenprint of an ad for a fictional product from TV or movies.

A galaxy far, far away....

One of my favorite things my entire life has been Star Wars. I grew up with it, saw them in the theater as a kid, had just about every action figure, bed sheets, clothes, etc. I use to draw epic battle scenes of tie fighters, x-wings & star destroyers. If ever I got the chance to travel back in time and tell my 5 year old self that one day you'll create an officially licensed piece of art for Star Wars, I think my head would explode like the Death Star.

And here is what I came up with...

A New Hope

Size: 12x36

Medium: 6-color screenprint on Cougar Natural 100 Cover

Edition Size: 250 signed and numbered

Price: $50.00

This piece will be released tomorrow Feb 14th at a random time at Dark Ink Art, part of Acme Archives Direct. Follow them on Twitter and Facebook to find out when they drop. So tomorrow, don't waste money on flowers or a heart shaped box of Wookie cookies, this is the ultimate valentine for the geeky nerf herder in your life.

I hear you're looking for Candyman...

Here's a poster I did for a screening tonight 2/1 of Candyman at the Colonial Theatre, in Phoenixville, PA, as part of their First Friday Fright Night. It's got a hook, it's got bees and it's got Virginia Madsen...who could ask for anything more. Tried to do something a little more "dark" instead of my usually whimsy...

2013 SF Sketchfest

I was asked by the folks that run Sketchfest in San Francisco to design their poster and marketing material for this years fest. They wanted something that looked like an old retro board game, and this is what I came up with.

A cool thing they did with the design was use it in a "fake" commercial to promote the fest...

The fest starts today and runs until February 10th. The line-up for this is really great with so many incredible performers. If you live in the bay area you should try and check one of them out.

Go go gadget screenprint...

This is my piece for the Gizmos and Gadgets show opening this Friday, January 18th, at Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. The theme of this show was for artists to do a piece based off of different gizmos and gadgets found in pop culture. I kinda went with the obvious and based mine on one of the most gadget oriented characters of all time, Inspector Gadget...

Title: Inspector Series 83

12"x18" 1-color screenprint with Glow in the Dark layer

on Frenchpaper Pop-Tone Blu Raspberry 100C

Edition Size: 115

Price: $30.00

I thought I'd try out a glow in the dark layer on this one featuring the inspector's endoskeleton. I'm not 100% sure if he was a robot or a cyborg of some type, but with all that crap popping out of his head I assumed he must be. I loved this cartoon growing up and one of the coolest things they did was they never showed the face of the main villain Dr. Claw. That was until for some reason in the earlier 90's they released an action figure of him, the packaging had a sticker covering his face and could only be seen if you took him out of the package...

And this is what Dr. Claw looks like, kinda disappointing...

2012 Odds and Ends

This past year was an extremely busy one for me, on top of the birth of my daughter, I worked on a bunch of new projects. I had the opportunity to show my work in a few new galleries including the brand new Wonderground Gallery in Disneyland. Also did some work for Mondo this year, another Target giftcard, and a few personal favs (Aquabats and GIJoe). One of my biggest accomplishments was the two-man show I had at Gallery1988 with friend and fellow artist Tom Whalen (we should really do that again in 2013 - wink. wink.) Here's a few things I didn't get a chance to post, figured I'd put it up now before the end of the year...

This was a shirt I did for Disney of one of their Dapper Dan's in front of a popcorn cart, it is available in both Disneyland and Disney World.

I also worked on the look of the new Disney Parks Shoppes facebook page.

And finally, here are a bunch of commissions I worked over the past year, I'm hoping 2013 is as exciting and busy as 2012 was and thanks to everyone who supported my work...

Freaks and Geeks

Neal: So I wake up this morning, 

and guess what's sitting at the foot of my bed?

Bill: A turd?

Neal: Yes Bill, a turd.

Bill: Eew!

Neal: An Atari!

This is a set of screenprints I did for the Tribute to Judd Apatow show that opened tonight 12/4 at Gallery 1988: Melrose location. I chose to do pieces based off one of my favorite short-lived and under rated shows "Freaks and Geeks"...
