Painting for this year's GAG ME WITHN A TOON

It's acrylic on wood with Sharpie. It's called "Interjections!" based on the School House Rock short of the same name.




The show is up at Meltdown through the month I think. If you're in LA, check it out. If not, there's the internet

I thought this was pretty bad ass!

Here's a link to some picture's from the "I'm ANIMErican " group show:

Here's Eric staring at my head, hat and/or beard. My paintings hang on the wall above us.

A good action photo utilizing Jon Schnepp and Eric's paintings. I chose the Power Cosmic. I am a herald of Galactus.

Bob Okazaki took this picture. He is also in this picture - along with myself, Shannon and Eric.


We had to compose a paragraph describing our art in the show. This is the one for my paintings:

What is it!?! A giant naked lady. Oh yeah. She is eating the monster. He like a Kaiju monster. I love Godzilla style monsters = awesome. I love King Kong Escapes the most. I saw Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 16mm print projected at the public library when I was a tiny child. I also love a naked lady. Especially she is a giant. Giant = better. A giant monster eats the lady too. There are two: 1) Giant lady eats smaller monster in Tokyo. 2) Giant monster eats smaller lady in San Francisco. Both cultures, equal measures. They call it "fusion." I can dig it. I'm ANIMERICAN.

I love you,

"I'm Animerican" paintings

Here's some documentation of the paintings I did for a group show called "I'm Animerican."

The theme was the fusion of Japanese and American culture through the influence of Japanese Anime. It's up now at a place called Royal T in Culver City. It's a pretty bad ass gallery/store/japanese maid cafe: http://www.royal-t.org/ The opening was huge. It was curated by Eric Calderon. Apparently, he knows how to throw a good party. Booze+Karaoke+Weird Paintings+Japanese Girls in Maid Outfits=Awesome. I'll post or link to some pictures of the show eventually...

Anyways, here's what I painted....

I did 2 pieces. 2'x2' each, Acrylic on wood. They were called:

"Giant lady eats smaller monster in Tokyo"
and
"Giant monster eats smaller lady in San Francisco."

Here they are before hanging in the show...


This is the drawing stage. I start with light pencil, then firm it up with a Sharpie. Shannon posed for the lady. See the Burne Hogarth knee reference to the left...


Monster version...


Then I rock the grayscale "painting." I've found that using Copic/Prismacolor gray markers and sharpies makes this process go very quickly. Most of the time I'm doing these the night before the show, so I need to work fast!




I paint over the grayscale version with acrylic, then finish it up with gloss medium.

Eric painting his energy blast in my garage.


Hanging the show...


As soon as I get some pics or a link from the opening, I'll post that shit!

Next up, I'll be painting something for a ROM tribute show. I'll post something when I have it...

a few more pics from Gag Me With A Toon

Here's Shannon posing by her two pieces. They're Tom and Jerry made out of candy wrappers. First to sell, by the way...

And here we are again.
