There's gonna be a lot of high fives (with razor blades) & untrustworthy sneers this coming Saturday at The White Rabbit as the theme is "Bring on the Bad Guys!". I have my flaming bags of poop & am already looking forward to what the artists come up with. I'd love to see your smiling faces there, so make it an evil plan to swing by for some great live music & rad live art.

So I'm finally getting around to telling you about my adventures the past few weeks. Not really gonna "tell" you, more like show you with pictures of certain moments frozen in time forever & ever.
Two weeks ago was ARTSLAM!'s sixth year anniversary show. It was a whirlwind of fried brussel sprouts, Ben Stiller Alamos, a lady VERY excited about a man stacking kegs on his head, paint fumes, delicious cupcakes & grunge kids. I'm sure that won't make sense to pretty much ALL of you reading this, but a few of us know what this means. I won't leave you readers out anymore...
Let me tell you...I mean SHOW you the story of ARTSLAM! 666(shown by the worst storyshower in the world):
Once upon a time it was ARTSLAM! 666 Maximus Erectus in San Antonio, TX.
ARTSLAM! creator/organizer/masterminder/camouflager Rob Perez aka Deadbeat Hero drank paint for inspiration:
Alex Pardee physically flew in to paint on walls:
Cody Schibi painted with his magical, Harry Potter finger:
Skinner traveled to San Antonio via ladder to paint:
L'Amour Supreme rode a giant, one-eyed, winged skull into Texas to paint:
Cody Schibi's LIVE painting looked like this:
L'Amour & Cody enjoyed a portrait of the Commandant from the Police Academy movies who coincidentally founded San Antonio in 1666:
Alex, Skinner, L'Amour's painting looked like this:
They all held this position for two days surviving on digested cupcakes:
Liz Perez & Holly Brown helped us ALL survive with their loveliness:
Liz, Rob, Holly, Cody, Alex, Skinner & L'Amour ALL ran around in a circle 750 feet above the Earth's surface:
Cody Schibi, Alex Pardee, Deadbeat Hero, L'Amour Supreme & Skinner hugged it out:
Cody went on to star in 'Forrest Hump':
THE END!
Wow. That really was the worst story ever & all over the damn place! Needless to say that this show kicked major ass. Amazing bands & artists were ALL over the place creating a beautifully orchestrated show of chaotic brilliance! Thanks to everyone who came out & the new friends made. You can view more photos & wrap-ups of the show at ARTSLAM!'s page, Skinner's page, MishkaNYC's page, Alex's page & whatever else google pulls up! Here's a great video wrap up shot & edited by David Alexander:
OH! & Skinner just released his art book about a week ago. Go buy it....now!
So exactly a week later I flew to Detroit for the opening of "LoveSick", the three-person art show I was fortunate enough to be a part of. LIFT Gallery owner Kent Alverson & his lovely wife were extremely welcoming & awesome. Heather Hansma & Josh Buckenberger are the other two massively talented artists in the exhibit who were my high-fiving homies for the night. (Oh & Kill Taupe needs a shout out for sharing his french fries w/ me! Cheers & thanks big boy!)
So since my sleep-deprived self failed to operate a camera successfully that evening, go check out Hansma's site for some photos of the opening.
You can also view & purchase ALL the artwork from the show HERE. Go make your walls (& us artists) happy with some original goodies! Here are three of the eight pieces I did for the show:
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to say "hello" at the opening & if you're in the area, stop by LIFT. "LoveSick" will be up thru March 4th….
I seriously haven't been taking a really long nap lately(though I'm in dire need of one). Instead I've been treating my studio like a prison cell. Nooo....I haven't been doing thousands of push ups & sit ups while turning my toothbrush into a shank & turning my face into THIS , but have been locked in total isolation hard at work on some exciting things. Allow me to share with you...
First off THIS Saturday, January 28th, is another ARTSLAM! event I'm lucky enough to be apart of that will make you even MORE excited than finding Blastoise. You think THAT kid has a "Maximus Erectus"?! It's ARTSLAM!'s SIXTH year anniversary show & they're bringing in some BIG guns to celebrate:
Mind-twisting artists Alex Pardee, Skinner & L'Armour Supreme will ALL be on hand flinging paint & high fiving all night long. Head ARTSLAM! honcho & mastermind Rob Perez, aka Deadbeat Hero, was awesome enough to print up some shirts I designed for the evening which will be on sale (& some even GIVEN away!) at the show. Try to snag one & make your chest sexier with this very limited edition shirt:
So yeah...I(along w/ 20+ other artists!) will be there LIVE painting away as well(& high fiving as well) & have some other goodies available like my 'Oddities/Deformities' mini art book & prints. This is gonna be a great one filled with amazing live music/art & I want you ALL there to experience the "Maximus Erectus"! Please come by & say "yo".... Here's everything you need to know about the show & how to even get advanced tickets: ARTSLAM!: Maximus Erectus. OH YEAH! Give me a follow on TWITTER if you plan on making it out too. I'm known to have giveaways sporadically on Twitter anyway(so give me a follow regardless!), but through out that night I'll be giving away some FREE goodies to my followers that'll be 100% FREE! Yep....you read that redundant sentence correctly! FREE GIVEAWAY THAT'S 100% FREE!
Speaking of painting & maximus erections...I've been doing just that like crazy the last few months in anticipation of "LoveSick", a three-person show consisting of the talented Heather Hansma, Josh Buckenberger & myself.
Opening reception will be NEXT Saturday, Feb. 4th, 7-10pm, at LIFT Gallery in Detroit. I've completed eight new pieces for the show that I can't wait to share with you, so if you're in the area come say "hi" to my paintings....they may just high five you back & force you to take them home with you. All paintings will be up online for purchase that Saturday night for those that can't make it, so check back as I'll be posting all information & paintings right here. Here's my sneak peek, promotional piece that I'll have prints of at ARTSLAM! this Saturday & available at my store soon!:
& after all this madness finally winds down I'll again be entering my padded prison cell & begin work on my first comic books. Damn! Is that an "s" at the end of "comic book"?! Sure is. I have TWO titles I'll be illustrating this year which I'm very excited about. The first being "When the Evil Came" written by Fabian Rangel Jr. who I bumped into at Austin Comic Con where this idea was spawned & the other being "BULLMOOSE" written by my twin broseph Lance Schibi who I bumped into in my mum's womb. Here's a promo image of "When the Evil Came"(which is obviously a comedic, love story about a family of cute, cuddly bears with a unicorn as a landlord):
Alright amigos...hope to see you all at the shows! xo.
Just a quick note to say "Happy Birthday" to the Master of Horror himself, John Carpenter! He's behind some of my ALL-TIME favorite movies ('The Thing' topping that list) & continues to inspire us.
Head over to my Twitter or Tumblr account & spread the Birthday love by ReTweeting or ReBlogging this illustration...
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY Johnny C. & here's to another 64 years of brilliance! Oh...& I haven't been taking a long nap lately, I've been locked in my cave working like crazy prepping for the ArtSlam! show in San Antonio on Jan. 28th & painting for a three-person show at LIFT Gallery in Detroit. Here's a peek & info for "LOVESICK" opening Feb. 4th with my sneak preview piece:
