I’m a massive documentary fan and when they collide with horror, well, I’m a happy camper. Like many, Night of the Living Dead changed the way I watched horror films and to say it’s been a constant influence would be a grave understatement. Naturally, I was excited when Larry Fessenden asked if I would create a poster for this upcoming historical new doc. Produced by Glass Eye Pix, directed by Rob Kuhns, produced by Kuhns and Esther Cassidy, the film documents George Romero’s trials and tribulations while making the classic zombie film during the vet war and civil unrest in the U.S. The film features interviews with Romero, Fessenden, Gale Ann Hurd, Mark Harris and Elvis Mitchell.
Currently in post production in New York, you can check out an interview with director Rob Kuhns about YOTLD in Fangoria Legends, a tribute issue to George A. Romero here.
Also, I’ve been given the go ahead by Larry and Rob to offer a limited run of silk-screened posters, exclusively available right here on my website. Stay tombed…
I’m thrilled to be a part of Gallery 1988‘s upcoming Hitchcock themed art show, Suspense & Gallows Humor: A Tribute to the All-Time Greatest. The show appropriately opens on Friday the 13th at their Venice location and runs until May 5th. Here is a picture of my contribution simply titled Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. This print is an extremely limited edition of only 20 copies, measures 18″ x 24″ and features a cameo by the maestro of the macabre himself.
I recently spoke with Flavorpill about the print, check out the article here. If you’re in the L.A. area drop by to see all the killer artwork on display, this show is not to be missed. And take one of these home won’t you? I don’t know when it will expire.
On Saturday, March 10, Mondo celebrated the launch of their gallery with an art show for the ages. The event had SXSW goers and poster fans camping out the night before to be the first to grab a glimpse, a limited print or a shot at an original piece of art. I was honoured to be invited to participate in the show alongside some of my favourite artists working today. A special thanks to Jason Edmiston for delivering my piece safe and sound to the gallery and scoring me a couple of awesome prints.
Here’s a picture of my painting, “Beware of… THEM!” It is 15″ x 20″ acrylic, pen and ink on illustration board. Swing by the Mondo Gallery to check it out and all the other amazing art, open 12-6 every day during SXSW and located at 4115 Guadalupe Street in Austin.
Update: Below is a picture of the piece in its frame and “angry red” matte. Thanks to Ruben Leal at Digital Eyez Photography for snapping it at the event.
Here’s the final poster I designed with Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012 and Mondo! Inspired by Gunnar Hansen and Frightmare’s first time THEY LIVE reunion with appearances by Keith David, Roddy Piper and Meg Foster.
These screen printed posters are 24″ x 36″, feature glow in the dark ink and are limited to only 250. Printed by D&L Printing, the cost is $40 and will only be available to purchase in person at the TFW ticket booth. But keep those sunglasses on, you may spot some artist copies online after the event!
As previously announced, I’ll be a guest at TFW 2012, May 4 to 6 in it’s new location at the Hyatt Regency, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. Drop by my booth and say hi!
