We're down to the wire for My Hero | My Villain Exhibit curated by Joe Melanson at No Egrets Tattoo this Saturday night at 7PM. I'll be in the flesh, painting live and watching people dance to my interactive exhibit where four NEW paintings will have headphones hooked up to them with dubstep Superhero Theme tracks composed by TEADS!
I want to give you one last preview of the show since we're 48 hours away. In addition to the interactive paintings, I'll be exhibiting some new illustrations including a Rogues Gallery of some of my own favorite villains in 5in x 7in form including the likes of Bizarro Superman, Carnage, Brainiac and our feature here today, Poison Ivy!
After you check out the process pictures below, drop by The Leaf-Chronicle's website with an insightful and in-depth look into the local art scene written by Karen Parr-Moody by CLICKING HERE! She gives a great promo for My Hero | My Villain and the story at some of the artists involved.
It's pretty tight and tiny work as I outline the vines in green...
Of course there is a THIRD EYE in my form and fashion!
Completed Line Work
I want to see YOU in a set of my headphones Saturday! Drop by No Egrets Tattoo here in Clarksville THIS Saturday night from 7-10PM!
THIS Saturday night, I'll be involved with My Hero | My Villain, a ONE NIGHT ONLY Group Art exhibit at No Egrets Tattoo Studio here in Clarksville featuring a plethora of regional artists who are creating a lowbrowpalooza of the south with Joe Melanson and the shop's help. If you've been missing out on these exhibits, I'm upping the ante this time around with a MULTIMEDIA exhibit that you can ONLY experience LIVE this Saturday. My boy TEADS has been mixing up some dubstep theme tracks to go with four portraits I've painted in Superhero Surrealism for the show. His tracks will be featured on headphone sets which will be hung with the art so the viewer can listen and look to experience this multimedia experience!
Last night, I got a little crafty when I was playing with the headphone sets I purchased to use in the installation this Saturday. Using some of my foil peace sign stickers, I made the headsets a little more DREGish...
The stickers themselves were just a hair too big for the stickers so I cut our the center bones of the peace signs!
The silver borders on the headphones set them off- it was like it was meant to be!
You can try one on THIS Saturday night!
I wanted to challenge myself with this installation by creating four NEW paintings. I've only really been painting the past few years live and in group situations so the work for My Hero | My Villain is new territory for me in more ways than one! RSVP at the Facebook Event Page to come this Saturday and see what IRON MAN is drinking, how the HULK transforms, what bit SPIDERMAN, and BATMAN in a straight jacket! All four paintings will feature original theme music composed by TEADS!
I was sharing around the flier for MY HERO | MY VILLAIN tonight through the social networks and realized my cohort in villainy, Charles V Bennett's name wasn't featured so I worked up a special version of the poster for him! Here's the before and after... er- after and before if you will...
January is full of heroism and villainy here at DREGstudios as we prepare for My Hero | My Villain curated by Joe Melanson at No Egrets Tattoo ONE NIGHT ONLY on Saturday, January 28th!
I've spent the past few Sundays teaming up with Amateur Supervillain Charles "Wolfie" Bennett at his lair of acrylic and gouache solitude to paint new material for this unique exhibit. I am doing four acrylic paintings on canvas which will be the basis of a collaborative multi-media display you can ONLY EXPERIENCE IN PERSON!
On New Year's Day, I showed you the first painting- HULK SMASH! and I've kept a tight seal on my Spiderman which I painted the Sunday after. Alas, I do have new treats today though with some process pictures from my Iron Man painting. I decided to go with the old school original armor suit Tony Stark donned long before he became the drunk we love and adore today in reds and golds. I teamed this Golden Age relic up with his modern habit of the drink though. What do you figure a billionaire superhero sips on?
To see the final products, I hope you make it out to the exhibit next weekend! For now, check out these process pictures from my painting session at The Wolfman's...
