I’m doing another show with Gallery1988 next month at their location in Venice CA. This one will be focused on Steve Martin. For my piece I’m paying tribute to a film called “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” from 1982. This underrated gem was written by Martin and Carl Reiner. It’s an homage/parody of the noir detective films of the 1940s. So I decided to do an homage to the pulp crime novels of the same era. I created an illustrated cover in the appropriate style with a kind of looser pastel look, complete with wear an tear. I’ve done a couple of these retro covers covers in the past, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to do another one. There will be a limited print run of this piece at the gallery and then online after the show opens. I’ll update closer to the opening with further details.
I am pleased to report that the sci-fi/fantasy art magazineImagineFX has published a full page feature about me in their current issue.

I’ve been reading this publication for years and it has certainly been a great source of inspiration and education during that time. So it’s definitely a thrill to be included among some really talented folks.
Here’s the scan:
