LIVE ART BATTLE

So I entered a local "Sketch Battle" about a month back, created by my friends at Spratx where each artists(started with 16 total) is given a theme for the week & have roughly two days to sketch out their interpretation of that theme. After three weeks of sketching, voting(THANK YOU!) & eliminating,  I've somehow successfully made it to the final round of this "Art Battle"!

Now THIS FRIDAY, JULY 25th, at the Scoot Inn here in Austin, Spratx is hosting THE LIVE ART BATTLE for the final two artists standing, where I'll be going paintbrush to paintbrush against local talent, Lady Nonstop. We'll be given yet another "theme" that night & have two hours to create a piece of art right in front of your eyeballs to finally crown a winner & take the 'ATX SUMMER SKETCH CHAMPION' title.
There will be a raffle for each piece created with all proceeds going to the artists, so please come out & support some Austin art(while hopefully taking a GIANT piece of it home with you)!
Here's all the info for the event & I would love to see you all there & cheers you with a tasty beverage… Thanks for your continued support!

Here are the themes/sketches I did for the past three weeks to finally make it to the final round. THANK YOU again for everyone that voted via Instagram…you all seriously rock. Hard.

WEEK ONE: "AMERICA THE…"

***

WEEK TWO: "TV"

***

WEEK THREE: "TIME"

***

"Shpadoinkle!"

"The sky is blue & all the leaves are green…"

Some of you may recognize those lyrics right off the bat & those of you who sadly don't, have a chance to get to know them on July 22nd…you LUCKY BASTARDS(well…only if you're in or around Austin)!

Those instantly catchy words are from South Park Creator, Trey Parker's first film & debut into the entertainment world: CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL.

This hilarious film tells the VERY REAL tale of Alfred Packer(Trey Parker) who was convicted of murdering & eating his traveling companions. He defends himself & states the "true" side of the story as he waits for death by hanging. The movie was picked up by TROMA ENTERTAINMENT(the same maniacs that brought you the Toxic Avenger) & fast forward to present day, the bad asses at Austin's The North Door & Trailer Space Records are coming together to present 'TROMA Night' each month, kicking it off with this flesh-eating gem! The curators contacted local screen print guru Nakatomi Inc. to create limited edition posters for the event & I was lucky enough to design the screen print for them. So here you go!:

These 18x24 screen prints will be available for purchase at The North Door on July 22nd for the FREE screening of Cannibal the Musical. We're holding a few to be made available in the Nakatomi Inc. online store, so if you're unable to attend, you'll still have a chance to pick one up! All signed/numbered to ONLY 100 by my right hand & all covered in REAL blood! PLEASE do help spread the word & come out to the show! There will also be LIVE MUSIC before the viewing from locals, The Dead Space. 

Here's all the info for the event here.

I really hope to see you there, so we can all sing along:

 ….& I just put up my 8x10 "KRAAAAAAAAANG!" print in my online store, so if you want to hang this beautiful specimen on your wall, head to my store, order one, then wait by your front door for him to come knocking!
