Total Recall piece for Crazy4Cult in NY

Gallery1988s Crazy 4 Cult is back on the East Coast this year in a limited week(ish) viewing from Dec 13 - 21! Also, on Dec 15 there will be a signing for the Crazy4Cult Book 2 which my 'They Live' piece is featured in. The pop-up location will be at: 355A Bowery New York City, NY 10003.

This year I wanted to pay tribute to my absolute favorite action star, Arnold Schwarzenegger! 

I could pretty much watch anything Arnold did and find it hilarious and incredibly entertaining. Case in point: 

The piece comes from 'Total Recall'. 

It is duel-layered with the 'mask' face raised by varying degrees. 

Big Surprise - 9x12 acrylic on wood

Im sure the show will be a crazy huge success, just like last years.

Ill be at the opening as well as signing. 

Spoke Art curated Scorsese Tribute show at Bold Hype

"An art show tribute to the films of Martin Scorsese 4/19/13 – 4/21/13
Spoke Art gallery is proud to present “Scorsese” an art show tribute to the films and life of acclaimed director, writer and producer, Martin Scorsese.
Widely regarded as one of America’s most talented filmmakers, Scorsese boasts a 40+ year career in cinema and his love affair with the city of New York has manifested itself in such a way that the director is considered an unofficial biographer of the Big Apple. With this in mind, Spoke Art gallery in San Francisco has opted to bring our “Scorsese” tribute art show to NYC for a weekend-only showing of new and original paintings, sculptures and prints.

“Scorsese” debuts Friday, April 19th with an opening night party from 6pm to 10pm at Bold Hype Gallery in Chelsea. Admittance is free, complimentary refreshments will be served, and the artists will be in attendance. The show will remain on view until Sunday, April 21st."

Im a huge fan of many of Scorsese films/projects, Goodfellas being one of my alltime favorites, so I chose to do a gangster mash-up. Its called 'Gangster Empire'.
