PRESS - Breaking Bad Art Project

The Breaking Bad Art Project is on display for one more week at Gallery 1988 Melrose in LA.  The online response to this show has been absolutely insane and I am so thrilled to have been a part of it.  Check out some of the coverage below!

A great little video made by AMC about the show

Breaking Bad Art Project Opening Reception

Still somewhat in shock over how awesome last night was...

Me and RJ Mitte in front of my painting.  He was an incredibly nice guy.

Got to give my Walter White portrait to the man himself!

Also got Bryan to autograph the rubber gloves I used for my painting!

Me and Emily with show creator Vince Gilligan, also a really nice dude!

Gallery 1988 pulled out all the stops and absolutely KILLED it with this show.  So appreciative to those guys for the chance to participate in this show and attend the opening.  

Breaking Bad is one of my all-time favorite shows and I am so incredibly grateful and honored to have had the opportunity to contribute to its history in some small way.  So damn cool, and can't wait for the new episode tonight!

THE BREAKING BAD ART PROJECT

This is probably the most exciting thing ever.  Still not quite sure how I managed to weasel my way into this show, but Breaking Bad is my absolute favorite series and I couldn't be more stoked on this.

  The culmination of G1988's BreakingGifs campaign, The Breaking Bad Art Project group show will showcase all of the original posters from the viral campaign as well as a handful of new artwork from new artists including yours truly.  

If you've followed the campaign at all you've seen some of the amazing things that have been created in the name of Breaking Bad.  This is going to be absolutely epic. Can't wait to show you what I painted for this one.

MEMES

As a celebration of Gallery 1988's eight year anniversary, an incredible show based on Memes (Appropriately titled, "Memes") will take place at their Melrose gallery location on Friday, May 4th!  If you don't know what a meme is, you probably also still have a car phone and think frosted tips are cool, so lets get you up to speed here.

"Offering" (For Larry David)/IS THIS THING ON? 2

I'm really excited about the upcoming show at Gallery 1988 Melrose; firstly, because I got to pay tribute to a brilliant comedian whose work I am very fond of, and secondly, because the opening reception is going to be hosted by one of my childhood idols, Weird Al Yankovich!  The show is called "Is This Thing On" 2: The Weird Year, and it opens Friday, March 9th at 7 PM.  As always, it's got lots of great artists in it and you should definitely go check it out if you can.  You can read more about the show HERE.

I received a long list of great comedians to choose to depict for this show, and I quickly singled out Larry David, as 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' is one of my absolute favorite shows.  If you are a die-hard fan of the show like I am, you should be able to identify quite a fair amount of jokes from the show in there.  Everyone else,  I really have no idea what you'll make of this...


Stoked to show this piece to the world next friday, and to show it to you, right here, right now:

ADULT SWIM x G1988

This Friday is the opening of Gallery 1988's much anticipated group show dedicated to Adult Swim.  Since 2001, the network has broadcast a whole slew of awesome cartoons and other programs for mature audiences.  This was a perfect opportunity for me to pay tribute to one of my favorite late night cartoons, Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 (formerly Aqua Teen Hunger Force).
