What attire do you prefer people to wear to your "Moments" show? Formal, semi-formal, casual, whatever we prefer..?

Wow I didn’t even think of this hahahaa please wear whatever you’d like oh my gosh!!

Note that the show itself is open for three weeks (June 7th-28th), and if you’re in NYC you can come and look at the art during any of the gallery’s hours (I just won’t be there.) The reception on June 7th is really not a big deal and just an excuse for everyone to hang out and meet me if they want. It’s NOT a formal occasion, it’s a small gallery, so just come and have some refreshments and drink some cheap beer (unless you’re underage, then you can have soda) while you judge and ridicule me and ughhhh seriously, I’d be honored to have any of you!!

“Can you keep a secret? I’m trying to organize a prison break. I’m looking for, like, an accomplice. We have to first get out of this bar. Then the hotel, then the city, and then the country. Are you in or you out?” – Lost in Translation (2003) Early release of one of the new paintings for my cinema-inspired solo show, which opens June 7th at Bottleneck Gallery!

Do you hear the people sing? I painted a concept of the Les Misérables film poster by reimagining it as the iconic logo of the original musical. Print is available at my Society6 shop!

GIVE ME THIS MOVIE, MARVEL. Look, I drew you a poster and everything. Just make it happen. (Tumblr, it’s your task to write the pitch and script.)

Yesterday I made a bet with a friend of mine, an amateur film critic who wanted to get more writing done this year. So he’s agreed to write 100 reviews/articles by the end of the year, if I do a 100 film-related illustrations. If one of us flakes out, we owe the other $500. Then again, if we both succeed, nobody owes anything. ;P UPDATE 1/5/2013: Yo I TOTALLY lost this bet, but the project has not died! It will be the subject of my solo show in June 2013! After a lot of thinking about how I could refine the project, I decided to do 100 movie poster illustrations. I know poster redesigns are all the rage now, but I don’t mean any redesign or the popular minimalistic interpretation - I mean really involved paintings and illustrations that capture the “essence” of a film, something you don’t normally see in commercial movie posters anymore. Hoping that this project will challenge me artistically this year, and if I succeed I’ll have a really nice collection to add to my portfolio. Plus, it’s fun. I’ll be posting all completed work along with process shots here, as always. This is a WIP of the first film I chose to do, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It’s all painted from scratch so it still needs quite a bit of refinement, and the text and titles are of course, not at all finalized and are just there for placement. I’m still undecided as to whether to do text at all. Opinions?
