MadBalls Foo!

Recently I've obsessing with 80s goodies. Garbage Pail Kids...Boglins...now it's Madballs.

I also was checking out Illustration Friday and saw that the topic of the week was "Swell". Swell as in swelling? As in swelling so bad your eye popped out? Enter Slobulus.



This was a fun image to do and I think I'll be drawing more in the future.

Got that good old 80's nostalgia going on....

I've been hard at work the past couple of months on a bunch of shows and have been neglecting my blog a bit, so my apologies to anyone who cares.

Over the past couple of weeks I've drawn Pee Wee for Gallery 1988's "I Know You Art, But What Am I?" show, as well as a Garbage Pail Kid for another exhibition for that gallery and a poster for a local "Horror and Sci Fi Garage Sale".




GPK=in hiding......






All the projects have been a lot of fun...Currently, I'm designing the back card of "Cut-Up Carmen" and have full intentions of making a 5x7 giant reusable sticker card of him as a print for the show.

Thanks,
Isaac

July is going to be CRAZY!!!

3 shows.July is my triple threat month....

One of them is a duet circus themed art show in Syracuse called "Wonders of a Forgotten Past"

Here's a taste....

I'm also going to be in a show in San Fran at Minna. "Humans in Traffic"

Here's a sketch. A part two/retake of my Shark Hunter image from a few years ago...

And as for the third one... it's going to be HUUUUUUUGE! It's in L.A......that's all you get.

Le Style Moderne, Atlas 2, Quentin Vs Coen, Wonders of a Forgotten Past, and the Elephant Man

As some of you may know, I've been wanting to start a publishing company for some time and now that time is here. "Le Style Moderne" has been in the works since the start of the new year, and now I'm happy to announce, my company's first book "Atlas 2" is complete.

A 32 page, little handmade book of goodness, Atlas 2 features 20 artist from 10 countries. I've been extremely fortunate with the phenomenal talent I was able to get in this collection of illustrators.

The list includes:

Ludovic Jasqz, Rudy Faber, Joy Chokchai, Sashiko Yuen, Ling Tang, Joey Potts, Pac23, Conrad Roset, Pawel Piekarski, Mansur, Lukas Brezak, Stuntkid, Natalia Pierandrei, Kraken, Michal Tarka, Charmaine Olivia, Killer Napkins, Devin McGrath, Amanda Grazini, Alexandre Wagner, and Cayetano Valenzuela


Each book includes two letterpress prints, signed by artists Ling Tang and Cayetano Valenzuela.

Big up to Omgposters to helping me get the word out.

I'm also extremely excited to see Atlas 2 get reviewed in a national magazine....but I'll talk more about that next time!

Circus Time!



July 1st will be here before I know it. Cayetano and I are hard at work to make "Wonders of a Forgotten Past" Syracuse's Art Show of the Year. It'll be even easier due to special musical guest: The Scarlet Ending.






Oh did I mentioned Cayetano's hellbent on making this a sensory overload? The gallery will not only have illustrations by us, great music but painted Circus signs everywhere!

And finally, I'm going to be in SpokeArt's Quentin Vs Coen. I placed a "sneak peek" in various places online, but here it is in it's entirety:



Each print is signed and numbered (ed. of 30), printed digitally with Archival Ink on Archival Velvet Cotton Rag Paper for Sixty Clams.




I just added a follow button to the blog (at the bottom). Feel free to click away. I'll be having some giveaways for blog "followers" very soon.


Enjoy the weekend.
