Benefit Party for Cait Willis & Amber Anderson!

I've donated two creature paintings for the auction for local artists Cait Willis and Amber Anderson who suffered all sorts of trouble when they were in an accident with an uninsured drunk driver. The Vermillion Gallery is putting on the party with the art and there is an enormous response from the city to help these women out. If you can make it out and help out, please do!

Here's the facebook page too.

Pseudo Criterion Covers

Pseudo Criterion Covers, a set on Flickr.

There 8 FAKE covers that I created for Scarecrow Video for their Criterion Collection Wish-List.

Each employee came up with 10 films they would like to see in the Criterion Collection and there is a rental section devoted to it in the store.

Laff Hole '88 with Paul Merrill

Paul Merrill asked me to come up with a corny 80's VHS box like poster for his Laff Hole '88 show this March 2nd at Chop Suey in Seattle. Brought to us by the Peoples Republic of Komedy
He knows my work well from doing the Adventure Buddies and even illustrating him for the 5th episode. 
This was fun to do. Pretty different from the Adventure Buddies stuff, but still focusing on the aesthetic of the VHS box art.

TV Carnage Let's Work It Out

Pinky Carnage, the genius video mash-up artist of TV Carnage wrote to me after he saw my VIVA VHS poster and asked me to help him with a tour poster. He sent me a classic aerobic VHS cover to use as inspiration and above is what I came up with.

In Seattle, Pinky will be bringing his latest show to Central Cinema on Saturday Aug 28th at 9pm.
