Bad Robot: JJ Abrams art show 4/26th Gallery 1988 West


Here is the full reveal of my submission for the Bad Robot: JJ Abrams art show taking place on April 26th at Gallery 1988 West, 7308 Melrose Ave (west of LaBrea) in Los Angeles. I've never been a huge Star Trek fan, but Abrams' re-imagining of the Trek universe was so freakin' god, how could anyone exist? 

My initial inspiration was to portray the current cast in the style of the animated Star Trek series from the early 1970's, produced by American animation studio, Filmation. It evolved from there, and here you have it! Hope you dig!

Here is the full reveal of my submission for the upcoming "Product Placement" show at Gallery 1988. The first thing that introduced me to the magic of pop culture was the 1966 Adam West Batman TV show. It's one of the first things I remember watching on TV, and I still watch it to this day, but this time I watch it with my son.... SO when this show came about, I felt like I had to do something based on all of the wonderful gadgets that Batman had at his disposal...

Mint Condition 2 @ LTD Gallery 3/1

Howdy folks, It's been a while...
This here is my submission to the upcoming "Mint Condition 2: the 2nd Annual Comic Book Inspired Art Show" at LTD Gallery in Seattle, WA. The Opening reception is March 1st, sponsored by and in conjunction with the Emerald City Comic-Con.

My piece is inspired by a certain ring-wielding intergalactic peace officer, and the little blue aliens that serve as "guardians" to the "power of will" in the universe. I got my basic idea from the "Uncle Sam/I Want You!" military recruitment poster by James Montgomery Flagg during WWI...
