Here's my submission for the "Please Post Bills" Show at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles.

Gallery 1988 Upcoming Shows

I originally was going to go with the Ghostbusters theme since my piece sold pretty fast at the show last time but I decided to try something different and get out of my comfort zone. The reason this is outside of my comfort zone is because I never saw The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou but know that the film has a huge cult following and people seem to really enjoy it. It was also a lot of fun drawing Bill Murray at an older age versus how young he was in Ghostbusters. I'm pretty happy with the result, I wanted to do a larger piece full of Bill Murray portraits arranged in a typical movie poster montage, but time ran short because of current projects.

I finished another batch of Lord of the Rings portraits recently and finally got a chance to get them scanned in so I can post them up. Usually I do one large post of them, but I'm going to get more in the habit of posting a new image every day :)

Hope you guys dig it!

Earlier in 2011, I was approached by the Autumn Society about an opportunity with Dreamworks. The project involved selling original artwork and giclee prints in tribute to the Dreamworks films: Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon. I was lucky enough to be asked to do one for all 3 films.

I'm a huge fan of all three so it was something that was incredibly fun to work on. They're finally posted up on their website and are for sale through the site, DreamWorks Animation Fine Art . A special thanks to Chogrin and to KC Sanders for the opportunity on this awesome project! Hope you guys dig the finals.

Gallery 1988 presents: "Crazy 4 Cult 5, I'm getting too old for this shit"

"The First Goonie"

Hey guys, I wanted to share one of my recent gallery pieces which will be shown inGallery1988's Melrose location in LA. I was lucky enough to be asked to submit a piece for this iconic show, Crazy 4 Cult. A special thanks to Jensen for the invite! This will be their 5th C4C annual show so I feel honored to be a part of it! The show's theme is exactly what it sounds like, cult movies. And what better cult movie from the 80's is there other than The Goonies. Here's my submission for the show, hope you guys dig it!

TMNT: 4 & 5

Here's my 4th piece for my TMNT series, Donatello. I went with the blue for an electrical effect to subtly imply his affiliation with inventing stuff. I actually had this see-through computer panel in front of him with some tech programming type going on, but I was too torn with it and it didn't really look right so I scrapped it. If it wasn't so up close, I'd probably have kept it. Oh well ;)

I decided to go a bit different with Michelangelo, I based his design off of a painted turtle species. I liked the idea of him being somewhat different than his three brothers because his personality is a bit more outgoing and energetic. I think it fits him best. In a side story in Volume 2, it's revealed at an early age that Michelangelo was a talented artist. Without getting too literal with the painted turtle concept, I still enjoyed giving him a bit of a louder design than the other 3. Michelangelo was my first favorite when I was a kid.
