<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Veruca Salt’s father spent about $900,000 on Wonka Bars in
order to get ONE Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka. So I might be the luckiest
person in all of Candyland, considering that I recently received a Golden
Ticket courtesy of the maniacs in the band, <b>PRIMUS</b>, without sacrificing
anything (except my SOUL)! To clarify, I got the awesome opportunity to design
a screen-printed poster for a fantastic special performance of <b>PRIMUS AND THE
CHOCOLATE FACTORY</b> that happened last week in San Francisco at the famed Palace
of Fine Arts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But you know what? There’s so many different flavors,
colors, sounds and worlds inside the Chocolate Factory, so I couldn’t just do

prints</b> that are each <b><a href="http://www.eyesuckink.com/new-products/" target="_blank">SUPER limited editions</a></b> and will go fast! They won’t last

<span style="color: #323333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0px;">Hello there, guardians of weasels and eaters of sadness! I just wanted to give you a quick heads up that I decided to put my new painting up on eBay, mostly because one of my favorite movies that I have seen recently is "What We Do In The Shadows" and there's a scene where Vlad the vampire says "Let me do my evil bidding…on the Internet". So now I would like to see YOU do your evil bidding </span><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/331639484847?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: #551a8b; letter-spacing: 0px;">HERE</span></a><span style="color: #323333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0px;"> on the Internet.</span></div>

Attention, tweekers! Call up Wynona, throw her big brown beaver into Jerry's race car with you, go pick up John the Fisherman and drive on over to South Park to celebrate with the a guy named MUD, because my <b>PRIMUS SCREENPRINTED POSTERS ARE BEING RELEASED IN JUST A FEW DAYS ON <a href="http://www.eyesuckink.com/" target="_blank">MY SITE</a></b>!

For years now, one of the most consistently weird bands has released a brand new poster for each one of their shows while on the road. EACH SHOW! Like every 3rd night, a new poster. That's like 150 posters that are floating around in the print-iverse. All curated by the one and only <a href="http://zzz.zoltron.com/" target="_blank">ZOLTRON the Incomparable</a>! And although I am just a little twinkle in a galaxy filled with star artists that have created these posters, I couldn't be more honored to be amongst these stars as MY PRIMUS POSTER GETS RELEASED FOR SALE! This poster originally debuted the other day at the Rose Music Center in Ohio and quickly sold out at the show. Fortunately, everyone involved was nice enough to give me a stack of posters big enough to paper-cut my entire body until I face-plant on my keyboard from loss of blood. But I'm going to be careful with them, and instead of mutilating my own body with them, I'm just going to SELL THEM TO YOU! That's fun, right!?</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
BUY SELL BUY SELL TRADE! That's what this crazy world is all about now and you can blame most of that on Pokemon, Magic Cards and drugs. </div>

Almost 5 years ago, I stopped writer/director Adam Green in the hallway of a Fangoria Convention in LA after he was exiting a panel discussion where he had previewed his then-new film "HATCHET 2". I was a huge fan of his previous films and, even earlier than that, a "fan commentary" track that I had stumbled upon for Friday The 13th Part 4 that he had done with Joe Lynch (who is another ridiculously cool writer/director). After I stopped him, as I had genuinely wanted to just say hello, I nervously did just that, introduced myself, and out of instinct I guess, I handed him a little art book that I had made and said something along the lines of "thank you for the inspiration, here's something I made". That little art book that I handed him was called <b>"Digging Up The Marrow."</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Last Thursday, in Berkeley, California, Adam Green and I got to show the very first public screening of <b>"<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/digging-up-the-marrow/id957519855" target="_blank">Digging Up The Marrow</a>"</b>, the film that we have made inspired by that little book that I handed him 5 years ago. That was, in short, fucking COOL. </div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Over the following week, leading up to this past Friday, Adam & I (and <a href="http://www.zerofriends.com/" target="_blank">Zerofriends</a>' own Proak the Fire Hydrant) got to travel across the country, continuing to show our film to new audiences in Boston, New York City, Austin and Los Angeles. That was also, in short, fucking COOL PART 2.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
During what felt like the longest and shortest week I have ever had showcasing our monster movie, Adam and I also brought along merchandise, an art display that showcased some of the design work on the film, one of the actual monsters from the film (by the magical <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/BarnyardFX" target="_blank">Greg Aronowitz</a>), and some answers to some questions regarding the long and amazing process of making a film with about 20 great friends, including my new friend, the one, the only, the impeccably best appropriate hugger ever…. William Dekker himself…<b>RAY WISE!!!</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Even though we not-so-bravely fought against blizzards, cancelled flights, cancelled trains, too much luggage, snow-blind driving and basically surviving through a potentially horrific reality-show version of "Planes, Trains & Automobiles", the tour went perfectly. Every crowd was great. Every theater manager was great. Every questionably drunk cab driver was great. And every hotel that we didn't have time to sleep in was great! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
If you weren't able to make one of the tour-screenings, <b>"DIGGING UP THE MARROW"</b> is available <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/digging-up-the-marrow/id957519855" target="_blank">now on iTunes</a> and all VOD formats (Hulu, Xbox, Playstation, VuDu, Xfinity, etc) in the United States. It will be released in other countries soon! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
If you haven't seen anything about the film, I would suggest going into it blindly, but if you must, here is the trailer for the film:</div>

Thank you to anyone and everyone who bought tickets to the screenings and picked up some <a href="http://zerofriends.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=191" target="_blank">MARROW Merchandise </a>along the road, as that was pretty much how we paid to go on the tour! It turns out we have a small handful of "Marrow" exclusive signed tour prints (along with some Marrow Doppelgängers and the original Marrow Booklet that I handed Adam years ago) leftover from the tour and they are now for sale <a href="http://zerofriends.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=191" target="_blank">here on ZEROFRIENDS</a> ( and Adam Green has the Marrow <a href="http://ariescopemerchandise.goodsie.com/" target="_blank">TOUR SHIRTS for sale and BluRay pre-order HERE</a>) for a limited time.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Below are a few photos from the tour (there's a BUNCH more on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.890081094371434.1073741836.136460509733500&type=3" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>), and although there were a ton of great questions asked during the Q & A sessions (including a super-fun Q&A hosted by AINTITCOOL's Harry Knowles at the Alamo Drafthouse), the one question that Adam and I keep asking OURSELVES is….HOW AWESOME DOES THIS FEEL TO MAKE A MONSTER MOVIE TOGETHER?! In short, it feels REALLY fucking cool!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Thank you everyone. Expect more journeys into The Marrow in the future. We loved it down there. And thank you to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/paulanthonyphotography?fref=ts" target="_blank">Paul Bustamante</a> for a lot of these photos and the photos on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.890081094371434.1073741836.136460509733500&type=3" target="_blank">Facebook page.</a></div>

<b>Q: Can I buy anything online?</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A: For the most part, NO. This sale is like a weird garage
sale, and I’ve checked with about 14 weird garage sales, and none of them have
sold things online, so we aren’t either! HOWEVER, I am keeping some things
aside and will be putting a small number of rare items on eBay starting MONDAY,
Feb 9<sup>th</sup> so that people outside of the Bay Area don’t miss out on
EVERYTHING. Stay tuned for the link to the online auction.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Q: Will you sign something for me? Then will you sketch me
something crazy if I buy something?</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A: Some things are signed already, but I would be happy to
sign anything you buy if you want. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to draw at
this event because I GOTTA HUSTLE AND MAKE MONEY TO MOVE TO A NEW PLANET! Space
ships aren’t cheap, you know?!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Q: Why is that yellow “Awful Homesick” book so expensive?</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A: That is a first edition printing of the book from around
2008. There were only a couple thousand books printed with that cover. After it
sold out, Gingko (the publisher) reprinted a lot more, but with a different
cover and in a larger edition size. In the Book World, this version would be
considered an “older one”.<br />
<br /><b>
Q: Will you be selling any original paintings?</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A: There are a few small paintings for sale, but I will have
one LARGE 3-piece painting that will be part of a “Silent Auction” throughout
the day during the sale.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Q: What is a silent auction? Can I still place a bid if I am
not a mime?</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A: Of course. The way a silent auction works is that you
just place your bid on a piece of paper and keep checking back throughout the
auction to see if you have been outbid. If your bid is the winning bid, we will
contact you at the end of the sale if you aren’t present.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Q: Can I be part of the silent auction if I can’t make it to
the store? </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A: Technically, yes. You can call and place a bid. However,
the silent auction will be for IN-STORE PICK UP ONLY! So if you win, you have
to come pick it up! The painting is too big to ship.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Q: How long will the sale last?</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A: 11AM – 6PM Saturday, Feb 7<sup>th</sup>. If there are any
left over items, they will still be available to purchase in the store all
weekend, but I will not be there after Saturday. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Q: Do you take trades, like in Bartertown? I love that
movie!</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A: I love it too, and sometimes in the past I have taken
trades, but not this time. I’m trying to move and condense what I have, not get
more! Trading time will happen again sometime! Thanks for understanding!<o:p></o:p></div>

It's time to call The Lucas Bros, because <b>I'M MOVING! </b>And what's the number one most stressful thing that goes along with moving? Survey says……CRYING! Wait, ok, what's the number TWO most stressful thing that goes along with moving? That's right: CLEANING! Cleaning under beds. Cleaning out closets. Cleaning out whatever is underneath the molded zebra blanket that's still covering the shopping cart in the backyard for some reason. Wait…is that blanket…also…moving? Ha, what irony! </div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">

<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, amongst my extreme-hoarder-style cleaning I came across literal haystacks worth of <b>rare art prints, personal samples of products that I've made, zines, first-print books, toys, prototypes that NEVER got made</b>, and other random morsels that have collected microscopic dust-creatures for a while. So I dusted them off, hugged each one of them, said thank you to them for allowing me to make them, and then figured that it was about time that they all went and visited other peoples' homes for a while! That's you! You're "other people"! </div>

JOIN ADAM GREEN AND MYSELF ON A JOURNEY THROUGH "THE MARROW" AND CONSIDER YOURSELF TOUR'TALLY AWESOME!!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Starting on Feb 12, 2015 in the San Francisco Bay Area (technically Berkeley) at Shattuck Landmark Cinema, and ending on Feb 19 in Los Angeles at the Landmark Regent Theater, my 5-year-old-conjoined monster-hunting brother Adam Green and I will be adventuring across the US to 5 cities in one week showing and sharing our new feature film "DIGGING UP THE MARROW" before it gets officially released on February 20th!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
These “Touring Through The Marrow” events will include a screening of the film, a pop-up art exhibit of my original artwork that inspired the film alongside never-before-seen concept art and photos from the film’s production, an audience Q&A with Adam and myself, one of the actual “monsters” from the movie “in person”, plus artwork, books, and other exclusive tour merchandise for sale.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Below you will find the specific dates and theaters that we will be stopping in. Please note that the "San Francisco Bay Area" screening is technically now in Berkeley:)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Tickets for the tour will go on sale SOON through each cinema directly. There are two options for ticket prices. A REGULAR admission ticket to the event is $15, however if you’re hoping to secure an exclusive limited edition art print from me, we’re also offering a $50 "VIP ticket.” A VIP ticket is all about the print. By purchasing a "VIP" ticket you are guaranteed one of the limited DIGGING UP THE MARROW art prints created by me and available on this 2015 tour only. (Pictured here.) </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Each 16" X 20" giclee print is produced by Zerofriends using archival inks on velvet cotton rag paper. VIP ticket holders just need to present their ticket at the merchandise booth after the film to pick up this print. For non-VIP holders, prints will be priced at $50 in person but only available while supplies last at each event (alongside other tour merchandise). So by buying a $50 VIP ticket you can look at it like you are buying the print and getting your admission for free... or you can look at like you are saving $15 off of the print... whichever way you want "dig" it. But don’t fear, not everyone in your party needs to have the same priced ticket to sit together or to meet us. We will do the best we can to high-five everyone! Every screening is first come first serve open seating and the guys will be happy to speak with and sign for everyone. The VIP ticket is only for the print (and a tiny little extra "sample" of the marrow, but more on that later…)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
As soon as tickets go on sale we will be the first to tell you! Stay tuned, as I think the Marrow trailer drops soon too...</div>

What better way to start off a new year than sharing my BABIES!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I teamed up with <a href="https://twitter.com/i/notifications" target="_blank">Mike Taylor</a> and <a href="http://www.pfrstudios.com/" target="_blank">Pretend For Real</a> studios, who made this insanely accurate origin story of The Thunder Babies just in time to ring in 2015: The Year Of THUNDER!

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>28 Days</b> ago (a time frame both Sandra Bullock AND zombies are familiar with), I decided to give myself a personal challenge to create a brand new "world" from scratch in 30 days, using unfamiliar techniques, subject matter and spontaneous storytelling to hopefully push myself to learn something and re-invigorate myself because I had been feeling somewhat stagnant creatively. The goal was to create enough of that "world" in 30-days to inspire myself to keep going and continue expanding it beyond these 30 days, whether it be through paintings, writing, scribbles, an art show, a phone game, etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, it's a good thing I'm my own Gollum-like boss because I only have 2 days left and I'm not quite to the point where I would call what I've been creating an entire "world", despite staring in the mirror and yelling at myself in an elvish accent on a nightly basis. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But that's not to say that I haven't been having fun BUILDING a new world. And that's not to say that I didn't meet my goal, because 28 days ago, I had no idea about the legend that tells how Zeus, The God of Thunder, got drunk, mistook a dying planet for his wife, had sex with it and ultimately got that dead planet pregnant. 28 days ago I had no idea that Zeus' godly-sperm could mix with the dead planet's infinite elements and give birth to a never-ending collection of Thunder Babies! I had no idea a planet could even GET pregnant. 28 days ago I had no idea that hundreds of years prior to Zeus's "coming", a race of tiny happy farmers covered the surface of that planet only to be invaded by giant alien chickens, in turn destroying the planet. I had no idea about The Ancients that arrived to use the Thunder Babies' blood for fuel; or what happens when multiple Thunder Babies are genetically combined. I had no idea about the city made of moisture that exists in the clouds. I had never thought about Gus Mountain, King Plenty or the vast but deceivingly gentle forest range called the Elijah Woods. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But now I do. And that's fun for me. And so is creating an ongoing roster of babies out of imaginary elements, knowing they are infused with the sperm of the God of Thunder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There may not be a lot of visual content to go with much of this YET, but I did get a good start on a direction that I can now leisurely expand upon until I get tired of it, which, if "BUNNYWITH" is any indication, may be never.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll be continuing to post some of the "Thunder Babies" ideas, concepts, paintings and mythology that I have been creating when I can, alongside whatever else I'm juggling at the time, starting with this first Thunder Baby, forged from pollen, vengeance, and the godly-sperm of Zeus. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes, like now, I feel completely selfish and fairly uneducated.
I never liked real world history in school, and could never seem to remember a
lot of it, with the exception of some fun facts like the Abe Lincoln assassination,
the invention of silly putty, and how the CEO of the Segway company <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8027301/Segway-company-owner-dies-riding-two-wheeled-machine-off-cliff.html" target="_blank">drove offof a cliff on a Segway. </a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But FAKE history, on the other hand, I was always fascinated by. Imaginary
historic events like the great Battle For the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Infinity_Gauntlet" target="_blank">Infinity Gauntlet</a> or the day
Marty McFly saved the clocktower from lightning in 1955 are historical times I’ll never
forget. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every fictitious world has some kind of unseen/unheard
private history that made that world work in the capacity that we get to enjoy
it in. Star Wars, for example, started as one movie with one story, but George
Lucas had an idea of events that happened hundreds of years before and after
the first movie was even filmed. But even something smaller in scale like
Scooby Doo has SOME kind of creative history. I mean, those oddball detention kids
had to meet somewhere, and there had to be some kind of insane checkered past
reason why they were more afraid of a museum curator than a fucking TALKING DOG
and his crackhead homeless owner. Whatever unknown history took place before we
stepped into both of these worlds as voyeurs made them palpable enough for us to
accept and immerse ourselves in them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So when creating any kind of world, story, or universe, I create
and use fake-history as an art-director of sorts. As little as it may ever come
into play within the actual project, if I’m creating another planet or another universe,
such as I am trying to with <b><i>Thunder Babies</i></b>, I HAVE to make up some history revolving
around it. Without history, I have no context to set the current story, and no
direction as to what the current world’s “rules” are. Plus, the ability to make
up historical events and inhabitants is just kinda cool. It’s like being my own
Dungeon Master in a lonely role-playing game. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">That being said, the only way I was going to be able to
create weird elemental God-babies that were birthed from a dying planet’s core with
any kind of confidence was that if I knew a little bit about that planet that
birthed them, whether anyone else ever needed to know about it or not. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So that’s what I’ve been doing over the last few days. Maybe
I’ll sprinkle some of that history into whatever I end up drawing over the next
couple of weeks, or perhaps it will never be necessary or interesting to anyone
but me and it was simply an exercise that I needed to do in order to, as I said
before, “keep the troops motivated.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Although its core was dying before being impregnated
by Zeus’ inebriated sperm, the planet Oo’tarus still contained one of the
largest varieties of elements in the universe. The number is in the thousands,
which, in comparison to Earth’s 115 elements, is incredible.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As Zeus’ millions of sperms bored their way through
the planet’s inner layers en route to its core, they mixed with the multiple elements
of Oo’tarus, each sperm melding with these different elements before they
reached the planetary womb, thus making each embryo a completely unique little
baby snowflake, their genetic makeup dictated by what element (or elements) the
celestial sperm combined with. This, I mean, is according to legend…”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I spent all day researching,
making and re-making a periodic chart of the elements of the dying planet of
Oo’tarus. I did this for 3 reasons:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Number 1</b>:
This whole project is about challenging myself, as well as directing myself. I
want to give myself as much possible ammo and information and mythology as I
can in order to guide the art aspect of the world. Without context, there’s no
direction, and without direction, there’s total freedom, which, in some cases
is good, but because I’ve felt stagnant lately and repetitive with my art,
giving myself “total freedom” could just mean that there’s TOO many options and
therefore I would get overwhelmed and I might default to designing the same
stuff I’ve been creating that’s making me feel stuck. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Number 2</b>: All
babies need formula. And in the case of Thunder Babies, I NEEDED a formula. A creation-formula.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Which leads me to<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Number 3</b>: The documentary “American
Movie” is about Mark Borschardt, one of the most passionate filmmakers ever,
and his 6-year LONG quest to make a SHORT film. There are a million amazing
quotes in it, but one of them revolves around the crew erecting scarecrows onto
a set that they aren’t even shooting on. When asked why Mark is having them do
that, he assertively says “to keep the troops motivated”. That’s why I made
this. I need to stay motivated while I figured things out. I woke up, and was
stuck on trying to figure out how to explain what these “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Thunder Babies</i>” would look like. More importantly, I was stuck on
trying to create a solid direction while at the same time giving myself a blank-enough
canvas for me to explore different art techniques and an open-enough subject
matter for me to experiment with different visuals. I needed to make a
“controlled-but-unlimited-foundation” to build off of. Does that make sense? Or
am I an asshole? I guess either way it doesn’t matter at this point. So I came
up with a formula, and while I am dwelling on the visual aspects of the Thunder
Babies, I made a chart to go along with the formula just “to keep me
motivated.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I knew I wanted to practice making babies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No, that’s not a cry for
attention; just hear me out. One of the things that I hate more than anything
is talking baby movies. And even more hellfire is spewed from my voicebox when
I’m forced to watch CGI-baby commercials or commercials featuring babies doing
adult activities. Looking at those dumb fake CGI baby heads hovering above
their <a href="http://youtu.be/rg37kafMsWk" target="_blank">dumb bodies doing dumb real activities like e-mailing</a> and drinking coffee
has the same unsettling effect on my appetite as it would if those CGI baby
heads were Billy Crystal’s <a href="http://i.perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/billy-crystal__oPt.jpg" target="_blank">current head</a> stuck on the body of my wet dog. It’s
disgusting. So, because I like putting myself in stressful, uncomfortable
situations when being creative, I thought, “Hey, self, why not embrace what you
hate, and draw talking babies.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plus once I thought about it, drawing babies and thinking of babies as
serious characters could be really funny. Baby bodies are puffy and silly and
odd and innocent and, if needed, creepy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the whole baby business is still in progress. So let’s move on to
what I decided on for an actual origin of the “<b>Thunder Babies</b>”, which is the
name I decided to go with before I challenged myself to build a world around it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Given that I only have 30 days to do this (I'm friends with the skinny guy from The Running Man and I had a collar made so that my head explodes if I don't finish), I
knew I didn’t have a lot of time to figure out what I wanted the direction of
<i>Thunder Babies</i> to be, and I knew that whatever decision I made last night would
dictate my life for the next 28 days. That being said, I didn’t want to
overthink the idea because ultimately it will be a work in progress until day
30, but I also didn’t want to just go full force with the first idea that popped in my
head, because I believe that everything should be thought about AT LEAST twice
before commitment, otherwise you end up with something like TUSK, Bubble Gum Soda or that upcoming <a href="http://deadline.com/2014/10/rainn-wilson-vine-comedy-series-hollywood-and-vine-curtis-lepore-jerry-purpdrank-855237/" target="_blank">sitcom about VINE</a> celebrities. Not that Thunder Babies is
going to be any better than Tusk, but I have to try.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using the “Thunder Babies” name by itself for
inspiration, I went through a few phases:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">1. Genetically modified babies existing on an island named “Thunder
Island”. OK, fine, but who made them, why were they made, etc.? Even though no children
ever really questioned who/what/why the Smurfs existed, Peyo (the artist
creator of the Smurfs) knew that shit going into it because it added a backbone
to any story he wanted to tell within that world. Backbones are important. OK,
so I had to think then, why would there be an island of genetically modified
babies on an island?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Maybe there’s a sad planet (called <b>Sadurn</b>!?) who was lonely and so it used its
gravity to pull in passing ships in hopes of making friends, but its gravity
kept pulling them in too hard and crashing and killing them. Until one person
survived, who was a genetic scientist, and in turn offered to “MAKE” friends
for this planet in exchange for letting him escape the lonely-gravity-pull of
the planet. That COULD HAPPEN! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU-3u6znfW0Qd0ycu7v9I3yCUa-k_rPcAe3X_edPwZbWB9-fiSJOxfrs2oJ9uDxttbg3CcL8Wmld5I910-DqHdPoMTlx4k3bDlZcTD-em1AbPn_jfRFueh5jSsVgqkFf-YADc9r0iIqjs/s1600/Sadurn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU-3u6znfW0Qd0ycu7v9I3yCUa-k_rPcAe3X_edPwZbWB9-fiSJOxfrs2oJ9uDxttbg3CcL8Wmld5I910-DqHdPoMTlx4k3bDlZcTD-em1AbPn_jfRFueh5jSsVgqkFf-YADc9r0iIqjs/s1600/Sadurn.jpg" height="360" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br />
That was my first attempt, but I knew that that was reaching, when all I
ultimately wanted was a simpler reason to just draw weird babies. So I
scratched that, and started over. This morning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">2. I DID like the idea of a living planet. Not “living” in a sense of
just being able to sustain life, but more in an <a href="http://marvel.wikia.com/Ego_(Earth-616)" target="_blank">“EGO, The Living Planet”</a> way,
or, in even simpler terms, like the <a href="http://www.walltowatch.com/files/0/0/0/0/00004788.jpg" target="_blank">sun on Teletubbies</a>. I wanted to keep that.
Then I started thinking of random ideas that I have had in the past that I
never fleshed out, and one of them that I always wanted to do something with
(maybe it even HAS been done before) was the idea of finding out that Earth is
pregnant and is slowly going into labor, with earthquake’s being contractions,
volcanoes being morning sickness, etc. I not only liked the idea of an eventual
giant baby monster emerging from the actual core of the earth, but I liked
thinking about HOW it got pregnant, and thinking about an even bigger monster
having sex with it long before we were alive. So I decided to pull from those
ideas, and add the words “Thunder Babies” into the mix and decided that the
Thunder Babies would be the result of a planet getting impregnated by Zeus.
That makes a lot more sense to me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I wrote up a quick <a href="http://eyesuckink.blogspot.com/2014/10/thunder-babies-day-2.html" target="_blank">history of the birth ofthe Thunder Babies</a>, and just to have a visual introduction to go along with it,
I decided I needed to draw a drunk Zeus fucking the dying planet in the middle
of space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started scribbling, and I kept picturing a
drunk Zeus to just look like DOG the Bounty Hunter, and I quickly realized that
I don’t know how to properly have sex with a planet, nor do I know what a classic
generic Zeus was supposed to look like, so I started pulling some reference
photos which FINALLY gave me a reason to type in “Watermelon sex” into Google.
Which, by the way, led me to discover the amazing art of Watermelon carving!!!!
SO COOL! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

on moving the leg and that made his position flow a lot better in my opinion.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Its already day 2 of a project that you
probably aren’t aware is even happening. And that’s OK, because I’m being
selfish with this project anyway. This project is for me. Over the weekend I
decided that I felt a little lost and needed to give myself a challenge to
create a new “world” in 30 days, starting with nothing more than committing to
a name of this “project”. I wrote in detail a little more about it <a href="http://eyesuckink.blogspot.com/2014/10/an-odd-year-new-beginning.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Long story short, over the next 30 days I’m going to try to create and
chronicle a visual world, with some narrative aspects, some silly aspects, and
basically whatever I get inspired to add to it over the course of those 30 days
in whatever form. My ultimate goal is to create an original property that has
enough substance to continue on after those 30 days in some form or another.
Worst-case scenario is that I just get a chance to draw and laugh with myself
for 30 days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can deal with that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I’m also going to try (given time) to
share some of my thoughts and commentary online as to how I get to some of the
decisions that I might make. It may not at all be interesting, but that’s why I
am doing it. Just to see if it helps ME to verbalize and share some decisions
and processes as I am creating them, instead of hiding out until something is,
in my eyes, “ready to share”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So, with that being said, today is DAY
2. On DAY 1 I woke up and committed to a name for this new project, and decided
I would go from there. So for the next 28 days, I will be working exclusively
on the birthing of <b>“THUNDER BABIES”</b>!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This morning I woke up and had to think
(and quickly re-think) of a foundation for the Thunder Babies world. The origin
story, I guess it would be. This origin story is basically my personal art
direction as to what tone, style, and subject matter I’ll be scribbling over
the next month to inhabit this world, whatever it is, just based on the name I
chose. So here goes….<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Many millennia ago, in a desolate corner of the universe, where even
Sandra Bullock couldn’t survive, ZEUS, The God Of Thunder, was drifting
aimlessly through the cosmos after a long night of intergalactic drinking and gambling.
As usual, Zeus was drunk, lost and failing miserably at finding his way home.
Out of the corner of his one opened eye, he noticed his beautiful wife, HERA,
The Goddess of Marriage, floating amongst the stars, beckoning for him to come
to her. In a blurred, chauvinistic drunken stupor, Zeus awkwardly glided
through outer space and immediately grabbed his wife’s hips from behind her. He
closed his eyes and threw himself on her, and he proceeded to make the hardest
cosmic love to her.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">However, in reality, he was NOT making love to his wife. In his
inebriated state, Zeus actually mistook the dying planet of Oo’tarus for his
very ALIVE wife, Hera. Zeus had not only cheated on his celestial life-mate
(again), but he just accidentally FUCKED A DYING PLANET! The moment he
finished, when his eyes finally opened, he realized his…mistake. Embarrassed,
sweaty, confused, and instantly hung over, Zeus glanced around the galaxy to
make sure none of his ethereal friends were watching this shameful “big bang”.
He then rewrapped his toga and drifted away into outer space, his regret-laced
vomit blanketing about 2 whole star systems. Zeus had completely abandoned
Oo’tarus after injecting millions of his deific sperms into her decayed core.
Little did he know, that in the right conditions a planet can get pregnant;
even a dying one…<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

space, her shriveled core filled with the sperm of the Thunder God. But after a
few years, on a night just like tonight, her crust started rumbling. Her
surface began seeping vibrant shades of green and blue and magenta and yellow,
reminiscent of before she had died. A small crack opened in her surface, and
then more cracks appeared throughout her entire crust. Moments later, after
what can only be described as “a scream so loud only a planet could have made
it”, thousands and thousands of babies popped out from the crevices all around
Oo’tarus’ surface. But these weren’t ordinary babies. Not in the least. They
were Godly babies. Galactic babies. Planetary babies. Odd babies. Mythological
babies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i></div>

Not as odd professionally as Lady Jenner's hormones or the million-dollar-menopause-haircuts of <a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1204125921/02.jpg" target="_blank">Howard Wolowitz</a>, but nonetheless odd. I have met some long-term goals and done some personally incredibly inspiring things, like finish a<a href="http://ariescope.com/2014/08/28/a-farewell-a-rising-phoenix-and-some-american-monsters-in-london/" target="_blank"> movie</a> (!), travel with my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/136460509733500/photos/pb.136460509733500.-2207520000.1413749391./747499561962922/?type=3&theater" target="_blank">Bunnywith</a> show, and gallivant across the country to share the experience of my <a href="http://www.ohchloe.com/" target="_blank">girlfriend</a> excelling at an amazing new photography career.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But also within that time I've worked on collaborative art projects that will never be finished, animated cartoons that will never move, designs for movies that for all I know may have gone straight to the garbage, and I got to go places that I can never talk about. And while all of it was awesome and exciting, I've felt a little distant from my own world, my own art, my own company and my own evolution.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I went to Detroit with no plans and no expectations and just absorbed everything. I returned with a 5-gallon-bucket full of inspiration and a new perspective on my creativity, however vague and silly that sounds. I also saw Guardians of the Galaxy 3 times in 3 days and that added another 5-gallon bucket of inspiration. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that I'm home, I'm reenergized and re-inspired. So I'm going back to doing what made me happy for years: telling stories, whether they're good or bad, and making some kind of art that goes along with those stories and worlds, whether it's good or bad. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, that being said, I'm giving myself a challenge: Over the course of the next 30 days, I'm going to create a new world. I don't know what that means, but I'm not going to over think it. I'll come up with a story and the general world first, and then I'll spend some time populating it and fleshing it out with paintings, drawings, scribbles, bad photoshops and even worse puns. Then, after a month, I'll collect all the drawings and paintings and scribbles and whatever else rears its head, and put them all up for sale on <a href="http://www.zerofriends.com/" target="_blank">ZEROFRIENDS</a>. This experiment will be a mixture of creating a new body of work for an imaginary art exhibit, creating a new IP for myself to laugh at, experimenting with materials, and pushing myself to create, build, solidify and present a cohesive and expandable world all while I share my progress (and failures) online periodically. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you don't already, and you're interested in watching me share scribbles and paintings of something I have yet to figure out, make sure you follow me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/alexpardee" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Alex-Pardee-Art/136460509733500" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/alexpardee" target="_blank">Twitter</a> for them sweet tweets! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">OK, now I have to go figure out what kind of world I'm going to laugh at and have fun with….</span><br />

This weekend, myself and Zerofriends' Captain Bubbles (that's what I've been calling Patrick behind his back) are heading to our favorite part of Texas to eat things, sweat, watch movies, and HANG OUT AT THE VERY FIRST <a href="http://mondo-con.com/" target="_blank">MONDO-CON</a>! Along with a collective of the best illustrators and poster artists in the world, we will be having a little booth there with some prints, shirts, and hugs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, for the first time, we will be doing a DOUBLE EXCLUSIVE PRINT RELEASE this weekend! One exclusive to MONDO-CON, and one exclusive to <a href="http://zerofriends.com/">ZEROFRIENDS.COM</a>. See below for details on our dual release. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And tickets are still available for <a href="http://mondo-con.com/tickets/" target="_blank">Mondo Con here</a>, so if you are in the area, come hang!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will also be a part of an insanely cool "Designing Movies" panel on Saturday at 1:20PM</div>

1. The first thing I do when approaching a new piece is to douse myself in gasoline. The fumes give me a certain high that causes my vision to blur and the poison/danger-factor forces me to act quickly. Then, I clutch a pencil in my fist, snap my neck backward like in an early Sam Raimi film, and let the dark spirt of Gr'ocp'h guide my hand and scribble.</div>

2. After showering the gas off and exercising the spirit from my body, I photograph the sketch using an ancient tool called a "soul-grabber". Some people call it a camera. I then invisibly teleport this photo onto another ancient device called a "futuristic Trapper Keeper". Using this ancient device, I consciously re-sketch my scribble into something that makes a lot more sense to me, such as this.</div>

3. After the sketch is trapped inside the tiny Phantom Zone, I wave my hands around like an awkward windmill at a rave and all these colors start filling themselves in. Then I can change the colors by swiping my hands in mid-air like Minority Report until I decide on the perfect color palette. Inspired by Spawn's costume, I decided to use yellow and turquoise as the main colors.</div>

4. In the Phantom Zone, there's only 2-dimensions. So I have to figure out how to transfer them to the 3rd dimension if I want to have any fun with them. Most of the time, as in this case, I look at the panel, then look at the computer, then look at the panel again and then the computer, and then I just stare blankly until someone comes in and goes "do you need me to help you?" And I do. So they do. Help is cool</div>

I learned this trick from WES CRAVEN and the famous rotating room from Nightmare on Elm St. It also helps me to imagine that I am painting with Johnny Depp's bed-blood. #waycooler</span></div>

7. The initial textures are important. Most of them will get covered up entirely by the end but they help you notice contours and shapes that you didn't intend. And they also provide me with about 7 hours of extra work that will ultimately be invisible by the end, but my goal is to subconsciously learn something in the process, just like The Karate Kid. I get a lot of inspiration from The Karate Kid. I'm currently also collecting shirts with bonsai on them and attempting to befriend every old Asian janitor I come across.</div>

8. Trying new things when painting is really important. In this case, I tried the new Oprah Chai from Starbucks. Although I am open to trying new things, in this case I wish I hadn't. My short review: Oprah's Chai tastes a LITTLE like chai and a LOT like her broken water from Beloved.</div>

9. I often start really regretting putting all that texture down first because it takes forever to cover it up so maybe disregard everything till now. Ok so now in this stage I just watch the static-channel on tv and fill stuff in with crayons disguised as paint brushes while doing face-exercises so that my face is in shape in case I ever need to run a face race. </div>

11. Shading and highlighting is like a game of good cop/bad cop, especially if you use both of your hands simultaneously and dress them up like a good cop and a bad cop. And you should make the bad cop REALLY bad, like make him punch people and have aggressive tattoos. And make the good cop carry around a tiny copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul, give him a cool-dad earring and make him really good at moderating. That's the best way to approach adding shadows and highlights to your painting.</div>

12. I'm almost there! More shading, more highlights, more evening out of the color. I'm terrible at patience, so in order to get a nice, even solid background color really fast I call my friend Mola Ram who's really good at spell casting. All I do is a sloppily apply heaping spoonfuls of Nova Color acrylic paint and leave the room. Mola Ram spreads some glitter and says "Kali Ma" over and over until the color is even and I'm not antsy anymore.</div>

13. I was pretty much done with this until I realized ANOTHER UNFINISHED ONE POPPED UP OUT OF NOWHERE BEHIND IT AND NOW IM A SLAVE TO IT. REPEAT ENTIRE PROCESS. I MUST FINISH.</div>

14. After finishing a painting, however manic the process is, I usually ask the friendly and mystical "Guardians of the Galaxy" director JAMES GUNN to stand in front of it to make it THAT much more magical for when I show my parents. And if he accepts, as he gracefully did here, I use that time to whisper in his ear something close to "HOW DID YOU MAKE THE BEST MOVIE EVER THAT MADE ME CRY AND CHEER AND WISH I LIVED IN IT!?" And then I tear up while strains at him. And then the painting is done.</div>

<br />
Years ago, a group of 14 different artists started out as strangers living in all different parts of the world. Through various incidents, these strangers became friends. And after these friends fed off of each other's creativity, imagination and passion for years, these friends became...<strong>ZEROFRIENDS</strong>.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And these ZEROFRIENDS are now such good (zero)friends that we all decided to smoosh our artwork together and make a big ol' fancy art book! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">Last week, an an amazing art show called "DARK MATTERS" opened in San Francisco (and is currently still on display at BASH Contemporary Gallery) that featured an incredibly surreal collection of paintings from <a href="http://www.zerofriends.com/" target="_blank">Zerofriends'</a> Dave Correia, <strong>Robert Bowen</strong>, and our good friend Caitlin Hackett. One of the most eye-catching phenomenal pieces from the show was a giant acrylic painting from <strong>Robert Bowen</strong> entitled "<strong>HIGH & DRY</strong>". With it being one of our favorite pieces of the show, we couldn't be more excited to be releasing a limited "<strong>High & Dry</strong>" print with Robert <strong>TONIGHT</strong>! And as one of our biggest first-run limited print releases, this beast is a whopping <strong>24" x 24"</strong> of vibrant archival printer blood and sweat. </span></div>
