ZEROFRIENDS ART BOOK IS HERE!

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...ZEROFRIENDS.

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! 

All that being said, we are proud to announce the release of our very first art book as a team! AND IT IS ON SALE NOW HERE

This huge 188-page art collection published by Gingko Press features some of the unique artists you have come to associate with the Zerofriends brand, as well as some that you may discover within these pages, and might even fall in love with. After all, there's over 250 paintings and drawings featured in this book!

Featured Zerofriends artists include:

Alex Pardee, Robert Bowen, Greg "Craola" Simkins, Dave Correia, Matt Ritchie, Tara McPherson, Brett Amory, Quake, Ricky Watts, Skinner, N8 Van Dyke, Jason Edmiston, Jon Wayshak & Mike Mitchell

Robert Bowen's "HIGH & DRY" Print Release

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 Zerofriends' Dave Correia, Robert Bowen, and our good friend Caitlin Hackett. One of the most eye-catching phenomenal pieces from the show was a giant acrylic painting from Robert Bowen entitled "HIGH & DRY". With it being one of our favorite pieces of the show, we couldn't be more excited to be releasing a limited "High & Dry" print with Robert TONIGHT! And as one of our biggest first-run limited print releases, this beast is a whopping 24" x 24" of vibrant archival printer blood and sweat.

New WAYSHAK Print Release Tomorrow!

Most of us Earthlings get one chance in our lifetime to sell our souls in exchange for ultimate power. A lot of us have already missed this chance because we weren't even aware that it was offered.
Jon Way$hak, on the other hand, not only didn't miss his chance, but he must have figured out a way to sell his soul multiple times in order to get his skills to where they are today. If you have not yet had the chance to feast your eyes on Jon's artwork, please allow this new print release to be your gateway drug. That being said, we are honored to be releasing our second collaboration with one of our favorite artists, Jon Way$hak.

DAVE CORREIA'S "COLLECTOR" PRINT RELEASE TONIGHT

Zerofriends' resident demon, Dave Correia, has been literally locked away in his studio for the last 3 months preparing an entire body of new work for his upcoming art show "DARK MATTERS" at BASH Contemporary in SF on May 31st. He hasn't seen daylight in over 90 days. He has only been able to eat the fish and bread that we shoved under his doorway and he's only had his own sweat to drink.

All of that has been motivation for Dave, however, and we can't WAIT to show you what he will be unveiling for the show. But to kick things off, we wanted to release a special "sneak peek print" to help Dave ease back into the world of interacting with society before his show. So tonight, May 22nd, at 9PM PST, we will be releasing a limited print of one of his large handful of new amazing oil & acrylic paintings, this one called "COLLECTOR" available tonight exclusively on ZEROFRIENDS

PRINTS OF DARKNESS TIMED RELEASE PRINTS

Greetings, mortals. 

At the stroke of Midnight (EST, 9PM PST) TONIGHT, May 15th, the same moment a giant Japanese lizard is unleashed upon movie screens, our voices will unleash an equally powerful beast. 

We will gather in a circle, cloaks covering our faces, candles forming a star on the dirt ground in front of the Zerofriends HQ, and we will chant these words:

"As we do this candle spell
Bring our prints 4 nights of Hell.
Candle black, paper white,
Turn bright colors black as night.

When all 4 nights of dark have past
All will hail the Dark Prints at last"

And upon that moment, and for the following 4 nights, 5 of our colorful prints from ME(!) and Dave Correia will be transformed by the spirit of the Dark Prints, creating brand new, exciting (but hopefully not cursed) collectible prints, and will be available for you to take home and bless your walls with the archival inks of the darkest lord. This spell will only last the weekend. After Monday, May 19th these "Darkness" prints will not be available any more in our online store, as they will have transformed back to their regular form.

Welcome to our very first "PRINTS OF DARKNESS" sale. Here is the specific info:

Exclusively at ZEROFRIENDS.COM, starting TONIGHT at 9PM PST (Midnight eastern), and ending 11:59PM PST on Monday May 19th, we will have FIVE DIFFERENT SPECIAL TIMED-LIMITED GICLEE PRINTS (Plus a FREE BONUS mystery 6th print!) available to purchase ANY TIME during these 4 days. The number of prints sold determines the edition size of each print. Yes, you can purchase ANY of these prints at any point during these times.

All "Darkness" prints are $40 each, and will be available to purchase separately, or in a bundle pack of all 5 which also includes a FREE BONUS 16" x 20" mystery 6th "Darkness" print from Alex Pardee that we will not reveal until after the sale.

"THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE" PRINT RELEASE TONIGHT

"THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE"

..and so the story goes….

I've wandered the land for years. I've had my share of fun. My share of love. I've made some heroic decisions (if you count the car crash). And like everyone else, I've made some despicable decisions too (if you count the second car crash). But those decisions were always MINE. Even the decision to try to wash paper plates in the dishwasher. That was MY decision. At least, I thought it was my decision. But no….because eventually, my decisions showed themselves. When my skin started tearing, and my throat started feeling filled with small hands, and when my stomach was hurting worse than normal, that's when they revealed themselves. And that's when I realized that they have always been here. That's when I realized that I will never know who I really am. Because THEY are me. They are my decisions. And I can't control them….

NEW ME x RETROBAND TOY ON SALE THIS SUNDAY, 4-20, AT 1PM PST!!!

Do you need any more information than that??? Really? You do?? Hmmm, I may need to question your motives. Ok, well, then read on, soldier!

For the second collaborative release between myself and the amazing RETROBAND Studios (the first was "Bunnywith Retro Style Packaging"), "SNAKE EYES" was designed from the ground up by Aaron Moreno and myself, with a completely original sculpt based off of my "Snake Eyes" painting and story that can be seen/read on my Tumblr HERE... and yes, this whole effort has come full circle and is ready to make its way into the hands of eager collectors worldwide! 

Each "Snake Eyes" figure has been skillfully sculpted, cast, and hand painted by Aaron Moreno of Retroband... and Aaron's passion shines through the paint. The retro feel, the detailed sculpt, the vintage paint application all look amazing! Standing in at about 4" tall, this figure comes on a custom backer board featuring new art by me all packaged up and sharper than Rambo's serrated knife. The back of the card also features the backstory behind this figure, Frank Carrol aka "Snake Eyes", with accompanying art and nostalgic like G.I Joe'esque details.

We only have 45 of these to sell (ONE per customer), and they will GO ON SALE Sunday, April 20th at 1pm PST exclusively online through ZEROFRIENDS. for $150 a pop! Oh, and not only do you get the "Snake Eyes" resin figure but also included in this package is 2 signed 8" x 10" giclee prints (shown here) and an official pamphlet documenting the origin of my "Snake Eyes" character. Mark your calendars and set those alarms now, these will not last long!
