It had to happen sooner or later. I was invited to take part in a real art show.
Not just any art show of course, but Gallery 1988's TOYS show, celebrating Mattel's Hot Wheels 40th anniversary. The show highlighted toys that we played with as kids before video games took over the world.
On April 1st (no really) Charlene and I were in Hollywood for an incredible and overwhelming couple of days.
Here's the paintings I did for the show ( both sold opening night ):
The Heart Collector 16 x 20 Acrylics on Canvas
Sara Finds an Arm 11 x 14 Acrylics on CanvasG4's video clip about the show
LA local TV

a few pics:
This was parked outside.
There were a ton of people.
I couldn't get this dumb grin off my face for 12 hours.
I thought it was stuck like that.
And yes, my head is really that big.
Here's a size comparison:
I stole this picture off Gallery 1988's blog.
Wow, what a night. Like I said. Overwhelming. The talent at the show was unbelievable, and we met a whole lot of people. I would like to especially thank Jensen Karp for the chance, Matt Dangler for being so damn cool, and Dan Goodsell for making us welcome.
The next morning it was Hollywood Boulevard.
My favorite of the stars we walked on that day.
We had time for this shot before it was back up north to our secret hideout:
The slow guy behind Bats didn't make it into the picture in time.
There he is. Flash my ass.
