The Console Wars means FREE PRINTS!



In the late 80's, the Sega Genesis promised to do what "NindenDIDN't", and then fizzled into the ether after a decade-long battle, momentarily calming the vast Pixel Sea that Nintendo had claimed. Soon after, Sony emerged with a confident threat that "we weren't ready", and they were right. While Nintendo continued to make children happy with mustachioed men, ocarinas and silly cart racing, Sony's Playstation kept the adult consumers' soup warm and tasty until one day Microsoft decided to enter the ring and shit in everyone's soup bowls. 



Then, it was back and forth, and back and forth until everyone seemed to be on the same playing field, playing the same games, holding hands online, no longer alienating their friends for only having "the shitty old first generation Xbox360" or for choosing to play GTA 5 on PS3 because those controls make it easier to cheat. All was calm, even if everyone online just rage-quits or tells each other to fuck themselves and eat bags of dicks for unfair level boosting, then laughs about it in the morning.
However, starting today, November 15, 2013, THE GREAT CONSOLE WARS have begun again. 
First up to strike is the new-favored Playstation 4, unleashing its early offense until next week when XBOX-One tries heartily to take back it's crown that it once had in the early 360 days. Then, only time will tell who is prettier, who can punch harder, and who has a better strategy for taking all of our money.




And even before either of these titans goes head to head over this holiday season, everyone already has a favorite.

So to commemorate these favorites and these brave soldiers who are about to jump headfirst into battle, with only your feeble hands controlling their fates, we would like to ask you to "pick a favorite", and get that favorite for FREE with any purchase of $10 on Zerofriends.com. Can't pick a favorite? Need to represent both sides of the battle? No problem, just spend $20 and get BOTH of these console warriors to stand by your side while you dish out head shots and patiently wait for the next Uncharted or Gears of War. When the smoke clears next year, we'll see which warrior fought harder, and which system emerges victorious, but remember, whoever wins, we lose (time, money and social lives). 




By Alex Pardee
5" x 5"
Open edition giclee print
Available FREE with purchase from NOW  through Friday Nov 22nd. 

Here's how to receive your FREE "Console Warriors" print:

1. Go to our brand new, revamped "ZEROFRIENDS" online store at http://www.zerofriends.com
2. Spend a total (before shipping) of $10 or more on ANYTHING in the store.
3. Upon check-out, type in the "comments" section which Console Warrior you would like (XBOX or PLAYSTATION).
4. Complete your checkout. No can't, and don't have to add the free print to your shopping cart, it will be automatically shipped to you with your order as long as your order was placed between NOW (Friday, Nov 15th) and Nov 22 as was over $10 before shipping). Any order over $20 will automatically get BOTH "Console Warrior" prints for FREE. 

*NOTE: If you do not note which print you would like we will automatically send you one of our choice. 

**NOTE: Limit ONE EACH of the prints per oder (Limit total of 2 different prints).

"WILLOW CREEK" Limited Print On Sale NOW!




A few months ago, I got a wonderful present from one of the most intelligent maniacs alive today, Bobcat Goldthwait. That present was "complete creative freedom" to design whatever I wanted for the poster to his latest horror movie, "WILLOW CREEK", which has been making a bigger-than-creek-like splash at every film festival this year. The film is centered around a couple who venture up into Willow Creek, CA, where the very first Bigfoot footage was recorded, in hopes of seeing the sasquatch themselves, even though their views on the subject are conflicting. The film moves quickly from hilarious into harrowing as they descend deeper into both the town, the legend, and the forest.  After watching the film, it was clear to see that the entire Bigfoot mythology and iconography is based off of 3 ingredients: The witnesses, the stories they tell, and the dense forest. 
So i took all 3 of those main ingredients and designed this poster, which I am happy to announce will finally be available to purchase as a limited edition print through ZEROFRIENDS starting NOW!



Designed By Alex Pardee
For Bobcat Goldthwait's "Willow Creek"
Limited Edition of 100
18" x 24"
Signed and numbered by Alex Pardee
Printed with archival inks on velvet cotton rag paper
$60.00 each

ON SALE NOW EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH ZEROFRIENDS

Bobcat has been making the rounds with this amazing film, so if you have a chance to catch it in person, DO IT! Here is the trailer for it.

Full BUNNYWITH x G1988 Art Show Info! ACK!




In 5 more days I will be opening my most prolific, ambitious, affordable, silly and IMMATURE solo art gallery show that I have attempted in my life.
This Saturday, October 19th, at 7PM, my "BUNNYWITH" show will open up at Gallery 1988:East in Los Angeles, where, in short, alongside some new paintings, toys and masks, I will be simultaneously releasing over 100 brand new "Bunnywith" prints (produced by ZEROFRIENDS), most of which will be only $10 EACH. And that's not even including a ton of free things that I'll be giving away for no other reason than because I appreciate you coming out to an art gallery on a Saturday night when you can CLEARLY instead go to the Disco or to the Drive-In to make out with people or girls. 
Well, if you're a fan of short stories with more mystery and little details, then look no further and I hope to see you there! Here's a link to my Facebook Event Info for it to remind yourself to come hang out:

However, if you want a more in-depth explanation of the silliness that will be taking place, including the COSTUME CONTEST and the print releases, then please continue to read on, reader, to decide if standing mere feet away from Pink's Hot Dogs and Golden Apple Comics on a Saturday night will be worth it for you and ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS that you will be bringing. (Spoiler alert: It's TOTALLY going to be worth it!)




I jumped in my friend Marty's delorian and went a week into the future, after the Bunnywith show opened, and collected the most frequently asked questions from everyone who showed up, and I'm glad I did because it turns out there was a lot of information about the show that I almost wasn't going to mention. So here is my future-derived FAQ's for the "BUNNWITH" Art Show this Saturday, Oct 19th, at Gallery 1988: East:

Q: What is "Bunnywith" all about? 
A: Bunnywith is about 3 feet tall.

Q: No, I mean what is the CONCEPT of "Bunnywith" about. Like, what IS it?
A: "Bunnywith" is simple. It's a Bunny…WITH something else. Like Bunnywith Hat. Or Bunnywith Herpes. Or Bunnywith A Fanny Pack made out of human skin. Each painting and print is a different "Bunnywith".




Q: Is his name actually Bunnywith? Or just Bunny?
A: Bunnywith

Q: He has no arms!? WTF?
A: Well, you have no dick, but I don't find it necessary to point that out in every photo of yourself that you put up on Instagram because I'm nice.

Q: Bunnywith sounds sensitive.
A: ...

Q: Where/when will the show be?
A: The opening reception is OCTOBER 19th (Saturday) at 7PM.
At GALLERY 1988 (East)
7021 Melrose Ave (corner of Melrose and La Brea)
Los Angeles, CA
http://nineteeneightyeight.com
The show will be on view at the gallery until mid November.

Q: What is the cost of admission?
A: FREE. 

Q: Will there be art for sale?
A: YES! There will only be a few larger new original acrylic paintings, but there will be OVER 100 new Bunnywith prints to choose from, in addition to some limited Bunnywith toys from RETROBAND, and even new high-end Halloween masks from Atomic Vomit.

Q: Are the prints limited?
A: No and Yes. ALL but ONE of the prints are non-limited prints, however, I can only bring so many to the opening. So there will be a limited amount of each print available for purchase at the opening. There will be ONE signed limited print being released too.

Q: If you sell out of a print at the opening, can I still get one?
A: Yes, Gallery 1988 will be re-stocking most of the prints throughout the duration of the show, and they will be selling the prints online during the show as well. 

Q: Can you show me some examples of the prints because I hate surprises?
A: Sure...here you go, party pooper.
Q: Don't you mean, "Pardee Pooper"? 
A: No, that would be my butt, and you're a dummy. Meanwhile...



Q: Will the Bunnywith prints be available anywhere else aside from Gallery 1988?
A: At this point, NO. Perhaps far down the road, but until further notice, NO. The ONLY way to get these prints at this time will be either in person at the gallery or online at http://nineteeneightyeight.com from Oct 21-November 15th. 

Q: How much are you selling the prints?
A: Most of the prints will be priced at $10 each, unframed and unsigned. Some larger ones will be a bit more, but the idea is to make the prints affordable enough so that everyone can go home with one!
There will be ONE framed, matted and signed version of each print that will cost a little more too.

Q: Will you be there to sign the prints if we buy them, since they are unsigned?
A: Yes, I will be there the entire night, so please don't hesitate to ask me to sign anything or just say hi. 

Q: How do I know what you look like?
A: I will be wearing giant bunny ears and most likely a non-matching beard. Like a lazy version of a Furrie.

Q: Speaking of, can I dress up? You mentioned a "Bunny Costume Contest"?
A: YES!!! Please, I encourage dressing up. It's so close to Halloween! Why not?! Though you don't HAVE to dress up like a bunny, the contest will be a "Bunny Costume Contest" so I will be awarding my favorite Bunny costume with a prize. And there will be runner-up prizes as well that I will announce throughout the week.

Q: Does it have to be a "Bunnywith" Costume?
A: Nope, just any kind of BUNNY costume. Be creative. It doesn't have to be an expensive store-bought costume. I just want to smile. My smile will be the judge.



Q: What will the main prize for the contest be?
A: A framed original "Bunnywith" piece from me. I will also be giving away some runner up prizes that I will announce via my TWITTER or INSTAGRAM @alexpardee throughout the week.

Q: What else will be going on at the show? What else will be for sale? Why should I go? I'm tired. I want to eat pizza. Saturday night is the same night that I was going to see Machete Kills. Why should I go to your show?
A: Actually, maybe you shouldn't. BUT, if you keep up with my Twitter or Instagram @alexpardee , I will be sharing a few more incentives to go, but seriously, there will be so much silly art for sale for cheap that it would be really cool if you came and hung out and chuckled with mature kids and immature adults, even if you just want to stare and wonder why there are no arms on Bunnywith.

See you there!!!

Bunnywith A Little More Information




If you're new to "BUNNYWITH", don't worry. Unless you have the intellect of Dennis Rodman, I think you'll catch on pretty easily. Just hang in there.

For being such a simple concept, I have a million over-complicated things to say about BUNNYWITH, a character and idea that I came up with almost 15 years ago while trying really hard to decipher the incoherent Jamaican accent of my Algebra teacher at Sacramento City College. But for now I'll be fairly quick. Because that origin, much like every other evolutionary step in my goofy little armless rabbit's life, felt like a joke. A long joke that might someday be worth telling, but also a joke that I pretty quickly took seriously because it was the only thing in my life at the time that made me laugh.
Well, I've managed to find other numerous ways to laugh since then, no help from Duck Dynasty, littering, OR Morgan Freeman, but nothing that has caused me to ever forget about BUNNYWITH. 

After two comic books, a short-lived web-comic, plush toys, mini-vinyl figures, a still-in-progress phone app, and a few years in between, I felt like now was the right time to introduce Bunnywith to a new environment. And a new audience: the completely accepting non-judgmental, non-pretentious....art gallery world. I think he'll be OK, though. After all, he managed to survive being the only plush toy ever on major retail shelves to come packaged with an aborted fetus. Plus, Bunnywith has been bugging me for months to be let out of his drawer (yes, he sleeps in a drawer. Not MY drawers, A drawer). 

Here's how it works for any of you wide-eyed beautiful newcomers:



Now take that concept, repeat it 100 times in slightly different (and mostly ridiculous) ways, with completely random adornments, and you have an art gallery show. Well, you don't have a normal art gallery show, you have a BUNNYWITH art gallery show. And hopefully I will see YOU there at this non-normal, silly, and possibly offensive (to weak-minded lumpy folk) art gallery show. 

Come "with" me.

Stay tuned for more information regarding the 9 billion things that will be a part of the opening show.

Ransom & Mitchell's "die Familie" Opening Oct 5th


For the last 6 months, the imaginative and dynamic duo of Ransom & Mitchell have been physically transforming the ZeroFriends artists into inhabitants of a surreal, whimsical and morose castle filled with hidden chambers, secret gardens, beasts,  a magical graveyard and even....a dentist office.
Though they call themselves "die Familie" (German for " the family"), are they REALLY a family? Or something....larger? 
Strung together through a series of narratives, props, and gorgeously shot portraits and prints of each artistic character, Ransom & Mitchell's "die Familie" will be moving from their 19th Century acropolis into the ZEROFRIENDS OAKLAND Gallery just in time for the upcoming  Halloween Season.

Opening OCTOBER 5th from 5-9PM at our Oakland gallery, Ransom & Mitchell will be unveiling an entire new series of "hysterical reenactments", beautifully demented portraits of artists including Skinner, Dave Correia, Alex Pardee, Chloe Rice, Robert Bowen, Jon Wayshak and Quake. 

Check out some exclusive preview images below.
And check out some behind the scenes photos over on our ZF Facebook page.

Limited edition fine-art prints of each portrait will be available for purchase at the opening reception as well as online at zerofriends.com.

"The World's End" Print Is Finally Here

You like movies??? Good. Then you are way ahead of the people that don't. Which means you most likely know of "Shaun of the Dead", one of the most clever and creative movies in the last decade. Which also means you know "Shaun of the Dead"s director, madman Edgar Wright? OK great, you're on a roll!
Well, being as how Edgar Wright is one of my favorite directors (in a "Trap-Jaw-Is-One-Of-My-Favorite-He-Man-Character" kind of way), and Edgar, Simon Pegg & Nick Frost are my favorite trio, I was insanely excited when Edgar invited me to see an early screening of their latest film, "The World's End". And, on top of my excitement, he almost telepathically forced uncontrollable pee to leak out of me when he then hired me create an exclusive poster for him for the movie. All Hell broke loose inside of my giddy brain and I got to work. 100 hours, 2 human manatee assistants, an old Commodore 64 computer, and 8 red bulls later, this is what emerged:

And now, in celebration of one of the best (blank) movies of the year, and possibly the greatest movie ever to feature a decapitation-by-urinal, I am proud to announce that this limited print will finally be available for sale starting THIS FRIDAY (which is tomorrow! Which is technically TONIGHT at midnight). So stay awake and don't sleep on this print release because if you do, the World might End.

Here are all of the details for the print:
"The World's End"
Designed by Alex Pardee, inspired by Edgar Wright
Limited Edition of 400
Signed & Numbered by Alex
18" x 24" Printed with archival inks on velvet cotton rag paper.
$60.00
Goes on sale Friday, Sept 20 at 12:01AM Eastern Time (9:01 pm tonight Pacific Time)
Exclusively on ZEROFRIENDS.COM

Friday The Shirt-teenth is almost here!

There are holidays we like, such as Groundhog Day, Easter, and President's Day, and then there are holidays that we LOVE, like FRIDAY the 13th! Friday the 13th's are cool because they are the only holidays that come around more than once a year, AND they sneak up on you and try to kill you.
But it's hard to find a party store that sells Friday the 13th decorations, so we rarely celebrate the holiday any way aside from watching all of the films.
So guess what? We made our own party favors to celebrate, and we want you to get your hands on them so that you can celebrate too, THIS FRIDAY, which we now deem FRIDAY THE SHIRT-TEENTH!




For Zerofriends' first glorious "Friday The Shirt-teenth" we are releasing this horrific new 10-color discharge-screenprinted t-shirt on Thursday night at 9PM Pacific.


"FRIDAY THE SHIRT-TEENTH"
10 Color Screenprint on Black American Apparel shirt
Designed by Dave (the Fourteenth) Correia
Sizes XS-XXL.
$25.00 (plus FREE print will automatically be added to your shipped order if purchased by Monday Sept 16th).


And for the first 3 days its on sale, every shirt will come with this FREE print of a little vulnerable innocent version of our favorite killer!
This 5x7 print is part of Alex Pardee's "Doppelgangers" series and has never been available before now.




Available Thursday night at 9PM Pacific only at ZEROFRIENDS

Friday The Shirt-teenth is coming!



THIS FRIDAY ONLY ON ZEROFRIENDS.COM

Thank you, @PBustamante for putting this bloody video together.

"BUNNYWITH" Invading LA.




It was a pipe dream a few months ago, but it's more official now than the 50 Shades of Grey casting. "BUNNYWITH" IS COMING TO LOS ANGELES to invade a little corner of Melrose & La Brea within the magical walls of Gallery 1988 (East) on October 19th! Bunnywith has gone through more changes than Lady Gaga over the course of 15 years since I created him, and what I'll be showing, selling and hopefully making you laugh until you choke on your gum will be the latest and greatest collection of Bunnywiths ever.

I'll trickle out some Bunnywith-related things periodically over the next few weeks but the best way to experience Bunnywith is in person, because over 100 of them at once seems to be way sillier than one of them at once. 

And maybe there will be costumes. There WILL be prints. And maybe there will be exclusives. And maybe there will be prizes. And maybe there will be ARMS (but probably not).

Follow me @alexpardee on the social things for updates. Or HERE on Tumblr.

And in case you don't know what Bunnywith is, and really, why should you? It's easy. It goes like this:



It really is that kindergarten. And it doesn't get any more complicated. 

See you there!

NEW "Red Handed 2" Print $20 OFF!!!

If we would ever slow down to pat ourselves on the back, it would be for nothing more than the quality of our giclee prints. But the credit can't totally be taken by Zerofriends.

A few years ago we met a Leprechaun named Dandy at the end of an inverted, dark rainbow. But he had no gold. And no beer. Instead, Dandy had an Epson 9900 printer with archival inks. And he KNEW how to use it. But none of his Leprechaun friends cared about printmaking, as they were in the GOLD business. So they left him alone at the rainbow, defeated. So, we took him under our wing and nurtured him while all of his other friends traveled around the world to open "Cash 4 Gold" stores. 

So excited to have (zero)friends and some freedom to play with his Epson un-judged, our Leprechaun started producing amazing prints out of his magical device and after working side by side with Alex, Dave and the rest of us, the quality that this Dandy and his Magic Epson were able to spit out was incredible. And it keeps improving the more we all play with our Leprechaun together.

So to celebrate the continuous improvements that Dandy makes to the quality of our prints, we are releasing and selling Alex Pardee's "RED HANDED 2" limited edition print starting TONIGHT at midnight (eastern time, 9 pacific).

But Dandy or no Dandy, it wouldn't be a celebration if we didn't have a SALE! So guess what? We are knocking $20 OFF of the price of this "Red Handed 2" through Sunday, Sept 1.




"Red Handed 2"
Hand signed and numbered by Alex Pardee
Limited Edition of 100
16" x 20"
$60.00 (on sale for $40 NOW!!)

Ok so let's recap:
A Leprechaun helps us make things. We salute him.
Tonight at Midnight we are releasing Alex's "Red Handed 2 Print".
It normally will cost $60. But until THIS SUNDAY, it will ONLY BE $40!!!
We salute you as much as our Leprechaun.
Thanks!

NEW PRINTS! FREE PRINTS!



Hi! Alex here. When Zerofriends was just a little elementary school collective of candy-salesmen back in 1986, we quickly figured out something that makes everyone happy: FREE CANDY! And when other kids' faces were stuffed with Mike 'n Ikes and their smiles leaked with sugary  drool, their happiness was infectious and all of a sudden WE were smiling too. And we LOVE smiling. 

 
So right then, on the four-square court, right after Little Dougie got hit in the face with the tetherball and was still smiling because of his sugar rush, we knew what we wanted to do for the rest of Zerofriends' life:
GIVE AWAY FREE THINGS! 

But now, we've moved on from free candy, to FREE PRINTS!

Fresh off of our "FREE DAVE CORREIA PRINTS" event last weekend, we are rolling right into our "FREE ME PRINTS" this weekend. By "ME" i mean...me. Alex. I have a brand new crop of 8"x10" open edition prints being released this Friday, August 16th on Zerofriends.com
And when you purchase any ONE (or more) of these specific 5 NEW PRINTS of mine, (seen above and below) you can pick out any ONE 8" x 10" of mine from my entire collection (new prints included) FOUND HERE ON THE STORE!

Ok, so let me re-iterate since this is no simple free candy transaction.

1. Starting FRIDAY, AUG 16th through SUNDAY, AUG 18th, check out the 5 brand new 8" x 10" giclee prints that will be released this Friday.
2. Buy one. Why not? You have a bathroom? They're perfect for bathrooms. You got a car? Hang if from the rear view! Art is fun! 
3. Before checking out and paying, go through the site and browse through some of my other 8" x 10" prints and take notes with your brain. You can see all of my 8" x 10" prints available easily by clicking HERE.
4. Point at one you like and say "THAT'LL DO!" and then make a mental note of the name of it.
5. Now go check out. In the "COMMENTS" section, simply state the title of the 8" x 10" Alex Pardee (me) print that you would like for FREE! Do not add the desired free print to your cart! Anything that's in your cart you WILL BE charged for! (Limit ONE FREE 8" x 10" PER ORDER). If you don't specify which print we will just randomly surprise you!

6. Smile! And we will too!
