CULT WORSHIP

Hey webheads!!!
Just wanted to let you know that my work will be featured in an upcoming art show this Saturday, April 4th in Atlanta, GA!
The show is entitled We Are Going to Eat You: A Collection of Artwork Inspired by the Weird & Wild World of Cult Cinema.
This is going to be so exciting to be a part of because it's the east coast answer to the Crazy 4 Cult art shows at Gallery 1988 in LA. (I'm a big fan of the C4C shows).
3 of the pieces from my Gremlins Vs. Critters Vs. Aliens series will be featured in the Atlanta show along with pieces from other artists all over the country.
I was honored to be contacted by Eric Weber, a fellow contributor to Flickr to be a part of this amazing exhibition. He works for Turner Broadcasting and is a fellow cult/pop/horror nut like myself and has some amazing work that you can check out here.
So if you are in HOTlanta GA, check out the show. It runs from April 4-April 19.
Click the poster below for more information.
Stay cool doods.

The Most Unluckiest Day Of the Year!

Happy Friday the 13th Weekend!
In honor of JASON DAY, I posted a sketch-a-day over on Facebook this past week.
Here are all 5 of them.
These are images that I hold near and dear from all the Friday films.
ENJOY!

Krites Attack!

Back with some more Alien vs. Gremlin vs. Critter art.
This time, the Krites are gangin' up on the big ol' Alien.
Think they can devour him whole before his acid blood melts em' all?
And where are the Gremlins?
Stay tuned!

And in the third corner...Aliens!

Ok, the biggest and baddest mofos have entered the ring.
The Aliens.
They've taken on the Predators. Now they take one my fave 80's creature feature characters.
The Aliens are not my fave out of the 3 creatures, but, definitely the deadliest.
Coming soon...how does it look when these three (fullgrown) creatures do battle?
Which species will come out on top????
Stay tuned...

In this corner...Critters!

Krites! Krites! Krites!
All the grown Krites are gathered and ready for attack.
These ferocious furballs are like piranhas and are vicious.
Think they could eat through Alien skin?
There's one more species of creature that need to be grouped.
Stay tuned!

In this corner...Gremlins!

The Gremlins are all gathered, ready for attack.
Here they are having eaten after midnight and hatched from their cocoons.
Ok, I just love doing these drawings.
Geeky, yes.
However, it is really giving me practice doing this and feeding those nagging ideas in my head at night.

The Battle Continues...

Aliens seem to be having the upper hand, even in their small form.
Can the Mogwai and Krites come out on top?
They haven't even faced the full-grown Aliens yet. Yipes.
I have a feeling the 2 small creatures can fend for themselves...
Keep tuning in to see more of the continuing fight of all fights.
In other art news, I will be changing the HorrorHound Weekend poster I previously worked on, to add some new guests and take out some that have unfortunately cancelled. The revised art will be posted here as soon as its approved and completed.
The countdown to Halloween is upon us! The best darn holiday is jusss around the corner.
So get ta bobbin' for some apples and to scarin' trick-or-treaters!

Three's Company: AvGvC

As promised, I have added one more creature to the "what if?" battle of all battles.
Although the "Alien" from the Alien movie series is locked into battle with the Predator in various comic titles and in 2 movies (1 upcoming one this Winter), I couldn't resist the urge to see what would happen if that monster did battle with the smaller beasties from the Gremlins films and Critters films.
Who would come out on top?
Aliens start out small: as facehuggers, then chestbursters, then into those big ugly monsters that lunge from the hissing vents of spacecrafts to kill people. This makes them vulnerable to attach from those little Mogwai and Krites. Mogwai seems innocent enough but will bite a brotha if hungry. Those Krites will eat anything cuz they ALLLWAYS hunnngry.
It's so much fun to have nothing but these thoughts in my mind throughout the day.
Get a life you ask?
Nah.
No thanks.
Wait'll you see what happens when those lil' mogwai eat after midnight...

Gremlins Vs. Critters: GvC

Freddy vs. Jason.
Aliens vs. Predator.
Nothing like 80's icons pitted against one another in bloody battle.
Here is another battle I would like to see: the battle between small little creature feature stars, the Gremlins vs. Critters.
In 1985, I was obsessed with the movie Gremlins. In 1986, riding the success of that film, New Line Cinema released their own knockoff of the "small terror" formula with Critters. I thoroughly enjoyed that film as well.
Why not pit the two characters together? Overall, who you think would win?
Gremlins have that whole "multiply with water" thing and "feeding them after midnight turns them into bigger monsters". Critters (or Krites) have that whole "shoot pine needles that stun prey" thing and the fact they can munch through anything and the whole "bunch together to make a big Critter".
I will let you decide.
Over the next few days, you will see that I am adding another "species" of cinematic baddie into the mix. See who should come out the winner of a 3-way between the iconic creature feature stars.
Enjoy!

New art

New art as promised!
My fine art-ish take on a beloved 80's film from my collection, Teen Wolf.
It is entitled, "Metamorphosis".
Can you feel the emotion and social commentary?
Have a great weekend!

HorrorHound Weekend poster project

Just finished the HorrorHound Weekend poster project.
The art is based off the poster image from the film "The Warriors" and includes all of the upcoming guests for the show.
Hope I get to make it to a HorrorHound Weekend at some point.
As a horror geek, it'd be a dream come true!
I mean, they got Evil Ed from Fright Night! DAYUM!

Oh You're So Cool Brewster!

Please forgeeeeve me for being gone so long.
Just completed a large project for a client and it made me ignore you all.
I promise to treat you all better next time, dear readers.
Here's a personal illustration piece I just finished.
It's been sitting on the back burner for months and I am glad to say it's finally done and available to share with everyone.
It's an illustration based on one of my favorite films of all time, 1985's Fright Night.
This was done with pen and ink and then scanned, cleaned up in Illustrator (line work) and then digitally colored in Photoshop.
I would love to make prints of this one sometime.
Expect more artwork here (random sketches, imagery, etc) on this blog.
I am trying to stick to my promise of regular updates to the site and posts to the blog.
Hold me responsible if I slack, people.
(That mainly means you, Bri).
