Disney's "Tangled" limited edition at DarkInkArt.com


Hey all! Let's end 2014 with one last project, shall we? Been sitting on this one for a while, as it's my premiere design with ACME Archives Direct & Dark Ink Art, giving me the privilege of doing an OFFICIALLY licensed DISNEY screen print based on the animated feature TANGLED. This is a 6 color, 12" x 36" screen print, signed and numbered edition of 200, available for $50 each.
ACME/Dark Ink Art have quite a "toy box" to play in, holding licenses for companies such as Disney, 20th Century Fox, LucasFilm, DreamWorks, Saban & more... I look forward to a fun partnership with them, as I strive to do justice to some of our favorite pop-culture properties.

Today sees the drop of not only my "Tangled" screen print, but also TWO prints by good pal and super-talented artist, Dave "Montygog" Perillo; "Peter Pan" & "Little Mermaid"

Crazy 4 Cult returns to L.A., 12/12 at Gallery 1988

CRAZY 4 CULT RETURNS TO L.A. THIS FRIDAY AT GALLERY 1988! This friday, December 12th sees the return of Gallery 1988's flagship annual art show, "CRAZY 4 CULT" to Los Angeles after 2 seasons in NYC. I was honored to (once again) be invited to participate in one of the most anticipated pop-culture group shows of the season. 

A feature of this year's exhibition is the celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Kevin Smith's "CLERKS". Being a Jersey boy myself, and a huge fan of Kevin's films, selecting a film to pay tribute to was a "no-brainer". Portraying the scene-steeling characters of "Jay and Silent Bob" as "Jersey Devils", this is a set consisting of two, 12" x 18" 3 color screen prints, signed and numbered edition of 50, sold as a set ONLY for $50.

If you're in L.A. this weekend, I highly recommend checking out the show. With over 100 artists paying tribute to their favorite "cult" films, there's bound to be something to appeal to even the snobbiest of film snobs. The opening reception takes place Friday night, 7-10pm at 7308 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. For more details:

Masterbuilders Union on Teefury.com, 12/4

Hey all,
This week I finally make my (triumphant?) return to Teefury with an all new design, just in time for the holiday season. Born and raised in the 70s on the legendary Dutch brand of plastic "building blocks", the past few years have seen a resurgence in toys aimed at helping children to "play well", especially with a major motion picture breaking all sorts of box-office records this summer. I came up with the idea for this shirt one afternoon after wondering "If there are all of these 'Masterbuilders' out there, wouldn't they have formed a union or something?" The rest, they say, is history...


This design goes live at 12:00 am, Thursday morning on December 4th on Teefury.com, and as always, it will only be available for 24 hours. For more details, go to http://teefury.com
