"Wet Hot American Summer" at Gallery 1988 Tonight!

Hey everybody...

Tonight is the opening at Gallery 1988 (Venice) of the "Wet Hot American Summer" show. I have a couple pieces in there. They have nothing what-so-ever to do with Pin-Ups as you can see from the one below. :P

If you are in the area and want something fun to do come to the opening and hang out with me!

"Is This Thing On" at Gallery 1988

THIS friday, January 7th, Gallery 1988 will have a huge art opening of a comedian-themed group show, which I had the honor and pleasure of being part of!

Is This Thing On?

at Gallery 1988

I was asked to paint Lisa Lampanelli and Amy Sedaris, and I had a lot of fun going back and watching their respective routines. Two raunchy ladies! My type of gals! ; D 

Both their paintings were influenced by an over-arching "alice in wonderland" theme, which you'll understand when you see them!

Anyway, I can't WAIT to show you my two pieces! I will post pics after the opening tomorrow night! Hope to see you all there!

3G Show pieces with Autumn Society

Here are my pieces for the Autumn Society's upcoming 3G show at Gallery 1988.

The 3 Gs of 3G are Ghostbusters, Gremlins, and Goonies, so each artist had to interpret all three movies in three separate pieces.

These were super fun to make; I was very inspired by old Victorian portraits of children with their pets & dolls, and was thinking about the iconic elements of all three movies that would pair well with children/young adults. And people who know my art know I love drawing/painting ladies and animals, so this was a way to marry the theme with my style.

I wanted to also make them very somber and ornate, like small Victorian cameos, hence the framing technique.

Here are the show details:
