HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY!
I gave my sister this new 11" x 14" acrylic and fluorescent painting tonight for her birthday. She is the coolest.
Same-size prints will be available soon in the GALLERY section of this site as well.
My posters for SUPERTRASH FEST
Fantagraphics books sponsored the SUPERTRASH FEST at the Bagdad Theater in Portland, Oregon, a marathon of trashy movies with live burlesque and an artshow in February 2008. Artists were invited to come up with their own movie poster renditions for their favorite trashy movies, and the posters were hung in the theater. The best ones will be printed in a collection by Fantagraphics.
This is one of my entries: Fulci's "ZOMBI 2" where a topless scuba diver in a g-string has to fight off a live shark, then a zombie walking across the bottom of the ocean, before the shark and zombie bite pieces off eachother. The first time I saw this scene my jaw hit the floor.
My 2nd entry was for "NUDE FOR SATAN". I've got to admit I thought the movie was really awful, but the title alone is hilarious and awesome.
The devil girl has black horizontal slits for pupils, like a goat.
The evil pope skeleton next to the floating Devil is supposed to be the False Prophet. (8 years of Catholic school and they never told us about the Unholy Trinity of the Devil, The Anti-Christ or the False Prophet. Instead, I found out about these guys in junior high watching the Omen movies on channel 38's "Movie Loft" where every October they'd show unedited horror movies every night.) Anyways, I wanted to make something really eye-catching and kind of scary and fun and ridiculous at the same time. Like if Slayer put out an album of music for 60s go-go dancers, this would be the cover.
12" x 18" signed prints of these paintings without text will be available soon in the GALLERY section of this site, and the original 12" x 18" acrylic and fluorescent on watercolor paper paintings are for sale for $400 each.
