Cheers

Seinfeld...4!

This was a commission I did recently for a "Seinfeld" art piece. I decided to do it in this style in honour of one of my favourite artists Ronald Searle. I wanted to have some insider episode winks for each character for all the long time fans of the show. I thought Elaine's crazy dancing, Jerry's Tweety pez dispenser, George's golf ball and Kramer smoking a Cuban cigar were great nods to the show, so I included those in this piece.

I'm thinking of making this into an art print (both color and no color) in time for the Toronto Comic Con coming up very soon.

I had a lot of fun doing this one. So I will be doing more of these in the coming weeks based of my favourite TV shows and movies. Check back for more soon!

Paris News: "TiM" will be screened at L'ETRANGE SOIREE DE TIM BURTON - CONVENTION HOMMAGE

L'ETRANGE SOIREE DE TIM BURTON - CONVENTION HOMMAGE
(The Strange Evening of Tim Burton - Convention Tribute)

Recently I was asked to show my short film "TiM" at a Tim Burton Exhibition in Paris, France. Roughly translated its called "The Strange Evening of Tim Burton - Convention Tribute". It will be happening on February 4th 2012 in Saint-ouen near Paris. There will be 2 films of the director shown on this occasion. First will be "Nightmare Before Christmas" and then "Sleepy Hollow". I believe "TiM" will be shown before Sleepy Hollow. If you are in Paris, France and you are a big Tim Burton be sure to check out this event next weekend. Here's a link to the facebook page for the event:

https://www.facebook.com/events/297133376999214/

The films will be shown at a new original cinema in Saint Ouen just near Paris which is called Commune Image. It apparently can seat about 170 people.Here's a photo of the cinema (seen below).

I provided them with the new "TiM" poster (seen below) with some banners from other film festivals that it has screened at.

In other Paris news, I was also asked by Seb Mesnard http://littlewhitebat.blogspot.com (who organized the Edward Scissorhands 20th Anniversary exhibition last year with Gallery Nucleus) to contribute an art piece to a new gallery exhibition in July of this year at gallery Maghen at two steps from Notre Dame.

I'll give more news on that event as it gets closer.

Cheers
