Garbage Pail Kids Tribute @ Gallery 1988

Hey All,
This here is my latest creation, submitted for your approval to the Garbage Pail Kids Tribute show taking place at Gallery 1988: Melrose this Friday night in Los Angeles. The idea was this: Select an existing GPK and reinterperate it in my own style. Being a fan of tattoos and it's culture, my choice was made for me. Sponsored by The Hundreds and the creators of GPK, Topps trading cards, the show promises to be a great event with tons of great art and other surprises...

Just a note to let you know that this coming Monday, August 1st, Teefury will be offering up my latest shirt design, entitled "We Don't Need Roads...", inspired by the Back to the Future Trilogy. The shirt goes for $10 (plus about $2.50 for s&h), and is available for 24 hours only. After that, this shirt is gone for good....
Thanks for all of your support!

Crazy 4 Cult 5, July 8th @ Gallery 1988




Hey all,
Taking a moment to show off my submission for this year's Crazy 4 Cult 5 taking place on Friday July 8th at Gallery 1988: Melrose in Los Angeles. My piece is based on Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" using familiar elements and terms/phrases from the film and incorporating them into a tattoo inspired design. If you're in the Los Angeles area, this weekend, stop by and "viddy well" all of the wonderful art. It's "real horrorshow"...

The print is an 18" x 24" 3-color screen print, a print run of 100, and available the night of the show at the gallery and the next day on the website (http://gallery1988.com/) for $35.

Also, the following Sunday will be a signing of the "Crazy 4 Cult" art book, again at the Melrose location of Gallery 1988. The book showcases many of the pieces from the 4 previous Crazy 4 Cult events, including a forward by Kevin Smith. Stop by, and tell 'em "Derby sent ya"!
Best,
Derb

3B Show tonight at Gallery 1988 Venice!




Gallery 1988 and the Autumn Society of Philadelphia are proud to present the " 3B Show: Beetlejuice, Back to the Future, and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure/Bogus Journey" tonight at Gallery 1988 Venice, located at 214 Pier Avenue in beautiful Santa Monica, CA. This 12" x 24" 3-color screen print as part of a tryptic with fellow Deviant artists "Strongstuff" (Tom Whalen) [link] and "Montygog" (Dave Perillo) [link] who based their posters on Beetlejuice and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, respectively. We, as the "STD Collective", decided to create poster advertisements reflecting on specific aspects of each film. I choose one of the most important plot points to the first Back to the Future film, the "Enchantment under the Sea" dance. If you're in LA tonight, stop by the gallery to pick up a copy, if you are so inclined. If any prints are left after the show, they will be available on line at Gallery 1988's website: [link] within the next day or two. Thanks for lookin'!
Best,
