Hey gang, it’s that time of year again.
That time when downtown San Diego loses its collective mind with masses of people coming down for the comix and the movees and the artz for the San Diego Comic International Convention 2011. Well, this year I’m a little more ahead of the game than usual, and will be signing in a few booths with some merch for sale to boot! One of these years I’ll actually be there with a booth, but baby steps. For now, swing by, say hello and maybe even pick up some art at these places:
Dragatomi: I’ll be at the Dragatomi booth #4935, Thursday, July 21 from 2PM to about 3PM. I’ll have several prints, some of the 100 Drawings series and a few other goodies, just for the Con.

ZeroFriends: I’ll be at the ZeroFriends booth #5502, Saturday from 10:30AM–11:30AM for at least an hour or so. I’ll be signing along with awesome artists Luke Chueh and Scribe. I’ll be on hand to sign your Crazy 4 Cult: Cult Movie Art book, which I’ve been featured in no less than three times! The book is full of amazing paintings by some fantastic artists, all with their take on various pop culture references, done up in their respective style. I won’t have any merch for sale, but it should be a fun time. Ask nicely, and I may even do a little sketch for you in your book if you so desire.

Cardboard Spaceship: I’ll be hanging out with the awesome guys of Cardboard Spaceship at booth #5032 Thursday, from about 10AM to 11AM. I’ll have prints and originals for sale, and be happy to sign whatever you’d like. No limbs, please. Come by and say hello!

See you there!

I’ve recently finished a new painting based on the upcoming American McGee’s Alice: Madness Returns video game. The painting will be part of a tribute to the newest title from American McGee’s Alice series and coincides with E3 at Gallery 1988 at the Melrose location.
Hysteria
Acrylic on paper, mounted to wood panel, resined.
14.5″ x 21″ (2011)
The show opens June 8th and 9th, and features:
“Alice inspired original artwork as well as sketches, artwork and notes from the game’s actual designers. Also available: drinks served by girls in Alice costumes and celebrity DJs. It’s a party you can not miss. American McGee will be in attendance, so come celebrate and check out some amazing art.”
For purchasing info, please contact the gallery. Full details about the show are below. I’ll be attending Wednesday, at the E3 private reception. Hope to see you there!

And a new print release due to popular demand!
Yes, I’ll have a painting in the upcoming John Hughes Tribute show at the new Gallery-1988 Venice location. I tackled The Breakfast Club, one of my favorite oldie but goodies. This was a fun painting to do, as I’m a huge fan of many 80′s movies, including many of John Hughes’ movies in particular. I tried to keep stuff fun and pretty loose, and genuinely enjoyed working on this, instead of the usual deadline crunch headache.

Dear Mr. Vernon
Acrylic on paper, mounted to wood panel, resined.
13-1/2″ x 20″ (2011)
Here’s the flyer, with all the details. The show opens next Friday in Venice, I hope to see you at the show!

Also on the agenda, I’ve just received word that prints will be made of my painting “Wisdom of the Llama”- a tribute to Bill Murray for the “Is This Thing On?” show at the G1988 LA location last month. More info on this as it develops!
