Predator mash-up at Artoyz.com

GeekArt.net and Artoyz have teamed up on a gallery show based on blockbuster movies from the last half of the 20th century. I was lucky enough to be asked to participate. I chose the movie Predator. I had a few different ideas, but settled on a mash-up with the Grateful Dead logo.


Are there many fans of both out there?!? At any rate, Artoyz has prints available of all the entries on their site. Delivery of the prints will happen after the show ends in Sept.

Just a quick thanks

Thanks to everyone who bought a Prime Trucking shirt. It made for a great 4th.

Celebrate the 4th with a new Transformers inspired t-shirt from Ript Apparel (Optimus Prime anyone?)

Ript Apparel is printing a design of mine on Monday, July 4th. T-shirts are only $10. Inspired by the release of the latest Transformers movie, this shirt takes you back to the original design of Optimus Prime. When not saving the world from the evil Decepticons, Prime had his own business hauling freight.



This is a one-day deal so if you miss it, it's gone. Take time out of your backyard bar-be-que and fire up the computer instead. Men's, women's and kid's sizes available. As well as hoodies and infant onesies. Great for those thirty-somethings who grew up with the Autobots or for their own kids who are now getting into the revitalized franchise. Click here at 12 a.m. Monday or anytime after that for only 24 hours.

Here are a couple of details:

New tshirt coming to Ript Apparel next Monday

On Monday, July 4, Ript Apparel will be selling a shirt with a design of mine for only $10. More to come later in the week. (Hint: mine is at the bottom right. Does it look a bit familiar?)

Star Wars travel poster: Yavin

Just a quick note to say that the latest (and fifth of eight) Star Wars travel print is up at Acme Archives Direct.

Thanks again for your support!

Brooklyn Travel poster, plus a special edition

Back in March I was thrilled to be a part of a gallery showing at Gallery Provocateur in Chicago. The theme was a Frank Frazetta tribute. I chose to depict the area where he grew up in the form of a travel poster. The show has just ended so I am now able to sell some prints. The "original" (digital print on canvas, signed, framed, at about 24 inches by 36 inches) is also available.


I've also modified the posters for those who may not be a fan of Frazetta (hard to believe, I know, but there might be a few people out there). Brooklyn and New York:




All are available as prints and in different sizes at Zazzle.com. And if you click on the images above they will take you to the prints. They default to the largest size.

Minnesota State Fair commemorative art - unveiled

Yesterday was the unveiling of the official art for the 2011 Minnesota State Fair. I had received the call for entries almost a year ago and am now honored to show the artwork and be a part of the Fair. The Minnesota State Fair Foundation has prints on sale if interested. Click here.
Thanks.

New S.H.I.E.L.D. tee shirt at Mighty Fine

The fine people at Might Fine asked me to come up with some t-shirt designs based on Marvel Comics. This is the first. It's a SHIELD recruitment ad. Nick Fury needs you. Do you have what it takes to become a SHIELD agent? On sale here.

Another parody tshirt: Poltergeist

This one is based on the housing development where the family lives in the movie. I've seen a shirt with the same idea, but different treament. I thought I go the 80s retro look. Hope it worked. On sale at Zazzle.com.

Retro Thursday* (a day late)

It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted anything so I thought I was due. Here is something from 2002, completed for yet another online contest. These contests were a great way to get motivated to create some art - when I had time back then.

I think it was a post-apocalyptic subject and fairly open to interpretation. I tried to use a lot of everyday items to dress our hero, hence the water polo cap and baseball glove/turned bag.



*In an effort to post something at least once a week I'll be showing some artwork from the archives every Thursday.
