New Work - Leatherface!

Here's a new painting I recently finished (acrylic paint on 16"x20" canvas).  It's ready just in time for this coming weekend's Days of the Dead horror convention February 1-3 (Friday through Sunday).  I will be in the vendor room with a ton of new horror themed work in addition to my usual zombies and monsters.  I would've posted more pics of the new stuff but apparently I'm a terrible photographer.  I took a bunch of photos that looked fine on the camera but looked awful once I saw them full size.  I am far too lazy to unpack them and retake the photos.  So feel free to make fun of my lack of camera skills this weekend. I can't wait!

The vendor room hours will be:

Friday - 5 p.m. - 11 p.m

Saturday - 11 a.m. - 7 p.m

Sunday - 11 a.m. - 5 p.m

 

 

My Future Boyfriend - DVD

I just saw that My Future Boyfriend is up for pre-order on Amazon to be released on March 6, 2012.   Now you can own this cinema classic with its wonderful set dressing.

My Future Boyfriend

So we watched My Future Boyfriend on Sunday night. I was very happy to see all of my prints and the painting that were bought for set dressing made it into the movie.  The prints were in a great spot in the office and were in a lot of scenes.  And the painting was featured pretty predominantly in a couple of scenes.  Third Half Studios also had their prints in a couple of nice scenes too.  Here are some screen caps:

 

Set your DVRs for Sunday night!

As I've mentioned before here, here, and here, I had some artwork that was bought for set dressing for the ABC Family movie My Future Boyfriend.  It premieres this Sunday night  (4/10) at 8pm.  Check out the trailer below.

If you look close, you can see 3 of my prints hanging in the background. In the scenes in her office (at 0:06, 0:14, and 0:33), you can just make out framed copies of my day of the dead Elvis, tattooed lady, and sacred heart of dixie prints.  There is also the chance of seeing my bat boy painting as well as some stuff by the ladies at 3rd Half Studios.  Keep your eyes out and the pause button ready.  I'm sure I will be posting screen caps from it next week...

Movie Update

As I've mentioned before here and here, I had some art that was bought to be  used as set dressing for an ABC Family movie.  I just found out that the movie has changed names and got a release date.  The movie was called Always and Forever but is now called My Future Boyfriend.  It will be aired April 10, 2011 on ABC Family.  Can't wait to see if any artwork made it past the cutting room and on tv...

Here's the latest synopsis:

A curious human from a well-ordered but loveless future, P-A-X-497/341 (aka Pax), played by Barry Watson, returns to the year 2011 to satisfy his curiosity about such archaic concepts as love, passion and sex, and winds up making his own discoveries when he meets the woman of his dreams, Elizabeth Barrett, portrayed by Sara Rue, a newly published romance novelist.

When Pax doesn't return to the future by the given deadline, Bob (Fred Willard), his fellow scientist, travels back in time to find Pax. Meanwhile as Elizabeth is helping Pax learn about love, she ends up confiding in her colleague, played by Valerie Harper, about her own upcoming "surprise" engagement.

New Print - Gone With a Bite

Here is a new print I just finished.  It's a zombiefied version of a Gone With the Wind movie poster done with photoshop.

Available now on Etsy.

Re: I'm going to be in a movie (kinda/maybe)!

So I mentioned before that there is a chance some of my artwork may be in a movie.  I met someone who is working on the movie at the ICE Holiday Shopping Spectacular. He recognized my Batboy painting as one he had just hung for a scene.  He said that it was shown pretty predominately in the shot.  So there is a really good chance of it actually making it on-screen as long as that scene doesn't get cut. 

Here is some more info on the movie via Disneydreaming.com:

ABC Family has announced a new original movie called “Always and Forever” (this title may change). The movie will star Sara Rue, Barry Watson, Valerie Harper and Fred Willard and is set to premiere on the television channel in the Spring of 2011. Filming for “Always and Forever” has already begun in Atlanta, Georgia.

In the movie Barry’s character, Pax, comes from the future, where there isn’t love. He visits present day New Orleans in search of romance novelist Elizabeth Barrett, played by Sara, whose book his culture found during an archeological dig in the year 3125. Pax hopes that Elizabeth will be able to describe the concept of love to him so he can bring it back to the future.

In the movie Valerie will play a colleague of Elizabeth’s, and Fred will play the character Bob who is Pax’s superior in the future who helps him go back in time.

“Always and Forever” is directed by Michael Lange (“Greek,” “Drop Dead Diva”) and written by James Orr and Jim Cruickshank while James, Rob Lee and Craig McNeil will be executive producers.

I'm going to be in a movie (kinda/maybe)!

Well, I won't be but my art might. I just sold a painting and some prints to be used as set dressing in an upcoming ABC Family movie. It's a new sci-fi romance made-for-TV movie titled "Always and Forever". They picked up some prints from the ladies over at Third Half Studios to use too.

Here is the only info I have on the movie right now:

Writer/Producer Jim Cruickshank and Writer/Director James Orr have penned the screenplay. Orr and Cruickshank first collaborated on the Walt Disney Pictures film "Young Harry Houdini" for which they both received Primetime Emmy Award nominations. They have since teamed up for such films as "3 Men and a Baby", "Mr. Destiny", "Father of the Bride I and II", and "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit". Cruickshank and Orr are responsible for a cumulative box office of over a half billion dollars.

I'll post more info when I get it. Hopefully you'll have some local Atlanta art gracing your TV sets soon! Here are the painting/prints to look for:
