Gallery 1988 "Product Placement" screen print show

Opening this Saturday, March 9 (2013), Gallery 1988 is hosting a show where your favourite products are featured. The only twist is, none of them exist. They are all from or inspired by TV, Movies, etc. And each piece of artwork is screen printed.

The possibilities were endless and it took a while for me to decide what to do. With the latest Oz movie opening the same weekend, I found it only fitting to pay homage to the original. The result is "TinMan Lubricants"



Tin Man Quality Oil
50 screen prints
18 by 24 inches
Signed and Numbered
One color on French Paper Dur-O-Tone Butcher Off-White

If you can't make it to the show, Gallery 1988 will have prints available online after the opening night.

Gallery 1988 already has a few preview images on their facebook page.

Hitchcock tribute at Gallery1988

Gallery1988 is putting on a show dedicated to the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. The show opens Friday the 13th at their Venice location (214 Pier Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90405).
I chose to do a travel poster (surprise!) to the place where "The Birds" (1963) was filmed and set in: Bodega Bay, California. Can you see Hitchcock's famous profile in there?
I'm not limiting this run but there will be Giclee prints available.

Gallery1988 and Weird Al Yankovic, Show opened Friday, March 9

Gallery1988 and FunnyOrDie are putting on a show inspired by comedians. "Is This Think On? 2" opened Friday, March 9 at their Melrose Ave. location in Los Angeles.

Weird Al himself was there for the opening.

For my contribution, I chose a fellow Canadian, Mike Myers. And I depicted him on a faux concert poster for Waynestock. The date reflects when the movie opened and not when the concert was "fictionally" held.

It's a limited edition screenprint of 50.
18 by 24 inches
4 colour
Signed and numbered.

Now available on Gallery1988's site.

Check out this video from opening night. My print shows up a few times, prominently displayed under the Eddie Murphy portrait!
