"Frolicking Nightmares" Preview and Interview
In what is sure to be a minor epic adventure, I am packing up and getting ready to head out on a long drive to Bronco-Nugget Land, Denver, Colorado to set up my new solo art show. Amongst my framing, packing and sweating today, my fellow friend, neighbor and artist DAVE CORREIA sat down with me to ask me some questions about the show while he drooled a little on his bib. Enjoy the small preview, and I hope to see you there if you are a mountain dweller. Or a mountain goat. Or a bronco. Or awesome. Or all of the above.
CORREIA: So hopefully everyone that reads this will kinda know who you are and if not I don't really care because I'm a little drunk. So what are we here to talk about today?
ME: I just wanted to say a few words to let people know about my new solo
show opening up at ANDENKEN GALLERY in Denver, CO on August 7, which I think is next Friday.
CORREIA: You THINK that? Or you know that?
ME: I actually know that. I didn't really want to sound like a know it all
though.
CORREIA: Knowing the days of the week isn't really that impressive of a feat. But ok. Congratulations. So, you usually have a semi-thought out theme for your solo shows. What's the name and theme of this show, if any?
ME: My themes usually start out as just a retarded idea that I think would
be a funny one time painting and then I get hung up on the idea and it
just kind of expands itself. This case is no different. The name of
the show is "Frolicking Nightmares: Portraits of Beasts Who Dwell in a
SEXIER Dimension".
CORREIA:What do you mean by "a sexier dimension?"
ME: Well, I always thought it would be awesome to create monsters that
someone like Prince would like.
CORREIA: So these are gay monsters then?
ME: I'm not sure, I guess you'd have to ask them, but regardless, one of the
things I'm trying to convey is that there's a difference between being
homosexual and being SEXY. Especially in a sexier dimension. It's cool to
think that some huge demented closet-monster can come out of the
closet and scare the shit out of a kid but remain sexy while doing so.
CORREIA: You just said the monsters would "come out of the closet"? So they ARE admittedly gay?
ME: Dude it doesn't matter. You can't tell just by looking at them. And
who cares. They are sexy. Period.
CORREIA: I'm still a little confused. Is sexy supposed to be scary?
ME: No, sexy is sexy. But I guarantee even at their sexiest, these monsters
will fuck you up. And plus, I think it's awesome to imagine the
lives that monsters could have outside of scaring people. Most of them
are probably male models, or at least they'd wanna be if the economy
was better. Being a male model is a rad dream. That's pretty much what I wanted to explore when creating these paintings.
CORREIA: Alright, that's cool. So what can we expect to see at the show, other than your awkward face?
ME: I did a whole new series of these sexy beast paintings that will be on
display, as well as some new black and white drawings, and a bunch of
little paintings of my new friends, Taco, Muerte, Apple and the rest
of the GHOST BONERS.
CORREIA: Umm ok, should I even ask what the Ghost Boners are?
ME: You can ask. But you don't seem to understand "sexy", so you probably
won't get the whole boner thing.
CORREIA: Alright aside from the paintings, anything else available at the show?
ME: There's also going to be a new limited print release at the opening as
well, which is the "En Vogue" image that you see on the web-flyer. (above). It's a pretty sexy image.
CORREIA: Cool man well I'm glad i'm not going but i wish you luck.
ME: Thanks man. Stay sexy.

Full "Sucker Punch" art!
So, as promised, here is a full look at the art that I created for director Zack Snyder's upcoming movie "Sucker Punch".
This is the first image that has been released anywhere regarding the film, which I am completely honored to be a part of. Below is a brief synopsis of the film, which comes out in 2011. Pass it around, its gonna be ill!
Set in the 1950s, SuckerPunch follows Babydoll (Emily Browning) who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.
Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jamie Chung and Jena Malone co-star in the film, targeted for a March 25, 2011 release.
As far as the shirts that they gave away at the Watchmen panel at Comic Con, I have not heard if these are going to be sold anywhere officially, nor do i own the image so Zerofriends will NOT be producing any of this stuff, but judging from the amount of merch thats floating around there from Zack's other movies, I'm pretty sure you will see some of this stuff on shelves sometime;)

BRAND NEW "CHADAM" COMIC CON TRAILER!
Wanna see the brand new CHADAM trailer that debuted on the Warner Bros jumbotron screen yesterday at the San Diego Comic con??? Well then click that little triangle down there.
If you don't know, CHADAM is an animated series I created for Warner Bros and have been working feverishly on for almost 2 years now. Still no solid release date, but we are getting there;)
Anyway, check it out!
And here is a little behind the scenes, high-fiving action from the weekend that we recorded the voice-acting, which still ranks up there in one of the coolest 2-day-period of my life.

COMIC CON IS HERE! AND SHIT'S GOING DOWN!!
COMIC CON 2009 IS HERE!!!!!!
John Carpenter's "In The Mouth Of Madness" is an awesome film, with an ill title. I used to say I love that title so much that I wish I could apply it to my life. However, now that these last few weeks have been so hectic and maddening, and i CAN say that I live "In The Mouth Of Madness", i all of a sudden regret that thought. But screw it, and as Twitter-master Diddy says, "LET'S GO PEOPLE!"
So, with that being said, i have some GREAT news, some more GREAT news, and some KINDA BAD news.
First, the GREAT NEWS:
For the last couple of weeks, I have been working on part of a very surreal and amazing project that does not involve me directly, but having a small part in this epic project has been something that I wish i lived far away for, so I could write home about it. It has been rad, and I will be able to tell you more after Comic Con, as I believe it is getting announced at the Con. If you want a little secret heads up, I suggest you fight your way into the LIVE WATCHMEN DIRECTORS CUT WITH ZACK SNYDER, DAVE GIBBONS, & JACKIE EARL HALEY doing live commentary while they screen the movie! Its on Saturday, July 25th, in ROOM 6BCF @8:30pm. (no, I didn't do anything Watchmen-related, though that would be equally amazing!)
Heres a super tiny super secret sneak peek at the project:)
Now, for some more GREAT news!
As of 3 days ago, Zerofriends COULD NOT get a booth at Comic Con, though we tried and tried for months. I have had a booth there every year for 10 years but that place is just too popular and too in demand for everyone to get a booth. However, as of 2 days ago, Justin from Comic Con International, was able to GET US A BOOTH AT THE LAST MINUTE!!!
That's right, ZEROFRIENDS will have a HUGE BOOTH at Comic con. Come see us at BOOTH #5302! Its close to the entrance. here is a partial map of the side of comic con where we are at (if you have ever been there, you know that this is like 1/18th of the exhibitor hall!)
And, though it was such short notice and we don't have anything that will be totally exclusive to the convention, we DO have some new limited products that we were waiting until next month to release, but we figured this would be a better time! So make sure you go by BOOTH #5302 to check out a ton of products that we are bringing down there.
NEW PRODUCTS:
"THE GHOST OF PEACOCK FOREST" Limited Giclee Print
Detail of the print:
By Alex Pardee
17' x 22" Super Limited Edition of 50
Printed with archival inks on velvet cotton rag
Each print hand signed and numbered by Alex Pardee
$60
"THE DAY I KILLED MY FATHER" T-shirt
(Available in both black and white at the convention)
"CREATURE" Skate Deck.
We finally have a few of these in stock. They came out briefly and were super limited and sold out quickly through Creature, but we got our hands on a few for the convention. And it comes with a mini Baseball Beater Bat too! For only $50! Deck is limited to 350 of them!
Also, even if you don't have any $$ to come pick up anything from us, at least stop by to check out a BRAND NEW "CHADAM" TRAILER that will be debuting at both the WarnerBros booth (on the JumboTron) and at the Zerofriends booth! It's looking cooler and cooler, and will be coming out soon!
Additionally, I will have a few other things floating around Comic Con:
I think i have a couple new shirts (and my WALRUS RIDER TOY) available at the UPPER PLAYGROUND BOOTH (#4031).
I did this painting of my favorite bumbling VILLAINOUS BONEHEAD for MATTEL's booth (#3029) to advertise a really cool project that they have going on (which I don't think i can tell you about but I'm sure it will be known at their booth): I had to do this piece rather quickly but I was stoked that they asked me to do it so I jumped on it. Hope ya like;)
And a detail of the loverboy's face:
And lastly, I am taking part in a charity auction organized by Lucasfilm & Hasbro to benefit the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. Over 50 of us artists customized MIGHTY MUGGS toys to fit into the Star Wars universe and they will be auctioned off and displayed at LUCASFILM's Booth (#2913). Naturally, because of my lust for Old Men with Lightning Powers, I chose ol' Emperor Palpatine as my drug of choice. Here is the little cute evil man:
Now, on to the BAD news:
With me being involved in so many cool things at Comic Con this year, it breaks my heart to tell you that, though Zerofriends will have a booth there, I WILL NOT BE THERE AT ALL this year:( My schedule is too too hectic in the next few weeks and I tried everything, but to no avail. It's the first time in 10 years that I will not be at the con, and i really do have a broken heart. But i will be there in spirit and I will Twitter as though i am there, so look out for that.
Regardless, I love you and hope to see you via satellite at Comic Con from my studio (soon to be hospital bed at the rate i'm going).

Full CAGE art revealed! ALbum in stores now!
THE TIME IS HERE!
No, not fucking Morris Day and his awkward mustache and scarf-laden dance-steps, i mean CAGE IS HERE, DAMNIT!
It's midnight everywhere in the world right now (don't know how that's really possible, but Cage makes weird things happen) and that means that the awesomely-anticipated new CAGE album, "DEPART FROM ME" is now released in stores everywhere and in the digital realm via itunes and amazon and all that shiz.
I highly suggest you run out to the stores in the morning to pick up a physical copy of it. Why? well, for one, because supporting independent music in a time where every musician is losing money is a necessary thing for us to all do.
and two, because we tried really hard to make a cool art package for you to rip all up and hang up in your locker and stuff, and the low-res stuff you can steal online doesnt nearly do it justice. I promise.
Anyway, you can listen to the whole album on Cage's myspace page, here:
http://www.myspace.com/cagekennylz
and if you like it, pick up a copy. he deserves it. the dude is FRESH! and here is all of the artwork that you will get if you grab a copy of the album. and the cool thing is, only Cage and myself really know what all these drawings mean. But regardless, hope you enjoy both the album and the art.
Long live Chris Palko. Less than 3. Thats a heart, yo.

Anime-Expo with Bob Vila
In a bout of last-minute ninja-like secret-ness, Zerofriends is appearing NOW at the Los Angeles ANIME-EXPO.
Unfortunately, i have to miss it because I am moving. And my "moving" also consists of duct-taping the shit out of everything so the critters don't eat my earwax (see below). But that shouldn't stop you from going and checking out all the new stuff we have for sale there. And as a hippy-like bonus, I'm sure Shotgun Sean will give you a tremendous hug if you are dressed up in costume.
Anime-Con, Los Angeles Convention Center.
Dealer Hall, Booth # 1139 with Snafu-Comics.

Handful of shirt....and potatoes
We here at Zerofriends are pretty open-minded when it comes to being creative. We find inspiration in the weirdest places sometimes, whether its the reflection of our faces distorted in the toilet water when we pee, or the dab of ketchup that ends up on our chests as we sloppily molest a burger with our mouths. Or, as an actual example, this candid photo that was snapped during our annual Zerofriends potato feast:
One look at this photo and we all agreed: "FUCK YAH, NEW SHIRT!!!"
Direct link to photo:
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f297/lasagnacassidy/holdingpotatoflat.jpg
And so, I present to you, the "HANDFUL" shirt, a brand new exploration in potato-inspired apparel.
AVAILABLE NOW ONLY @ ZEROFRIENDS.COM

And if that isnt enough motivation, we are continuing the tradition of telling stories with our apparel, as the following story about the graphic is printed on the inside of the shirt:)
Enjoy.
"I went to school with a kid named Tommy Revenge who had an abnormally large right hand. Not just abnormally large for a 12 year old. Plain old abnormally large. He couldn't wear both gloves so his Mom wrapped his huge hand in a towel when it was cold, but the extra weight made him lose balance a lot. One morning we were all playing chicken with the groundskeeper and his ride-on John Deere like we always did, but Tommy's hand must have weighed a lot that day, because he got real close, and then just collapsed to his right, and fell under the lawnmower blades. Ironically, after the lawnmower completely diced him like a carrot, his huge right hand, the last thing to enter the blades, jammed them, destroying the machine. We always said that at least his last name suited him, as Tommy got his "Revenge". Kinda."
Thank you.

Me = Semi-Epic Walrus Fail
Good morning.
I fail a lot. At a lot of things. Maybe thats why I love watching FailBlog so much, just sitting back feeling so relieved that it's not me (this time). I hate showing anyone my failures (which is why i keep my shirt on most of the time), but i thought this one was funny. I felt all rushed a couple of weeks ago when I had to create a brand new painting to give away for the Walrus Rider signing at Munky King because I was behind on deadlines and not feeling well. So I tried to rush the painting, and within minutes, it tuned into a gallon of turd. So I decided to start over, slow down and take my time. Way better idea. So yah, enjoy the Walrus Rider Epic Fail below.
