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...
