WonderCon 2011!!!

WonderCon 2011 went AMAZINGLY!!!!!
I got to meet a bunch of amazing artists and people! I showed up pretty early with my buddy James and ended up getting him in for free! It definitely started off with a laugh. As per tradition for the past couple years, Artist Alley is hit first since it gets packed the most.

Adam Hughes!!! He was super awesome and was doing sketches, I managed to get a sketch and pic with him. (pictured above) If you don't know who he is, look him up, his artwork is incredible!

Greg Horn was next (pictured above with Galactus hat) He was way cool and he signed my book and took a pic with James and myself. We both geeked out a bit over his awesome artwork.

Jim Silke was way cool, this man has been around for years! His pinup style is freakin' phenomenal! I highly suggest you check him out if you're into pin up artwork. I got one of his books and he was very kind to sign it and my autograph book as well.

Richard Kiel - you know him from 'Happy Gilmore' and 'The Spy Who Loved Me', he was nice, but he charges for pics and autographs (and I was on a budget) so we just said 'Hi'.

Lou Ferrigno - DUH! you all know him as THE HULK My cousin and I met him last year, and well...let's just say he's kinda grumpy. He might be hecka cool outside conventions, but my second encounter with him, was basically the same as the first. But at least I have a funny story to tell people.

Peter Mayhew - CHEWBACCA!!!!! What else needs to be said?

Finally we have ELVIRA MISTRESS OF THE DARK!!!!! She looked AMAZING! James and I trolled about till she arrived and when she did, we made a mad dash for her table and took tons of pics paparazzi style. No joke, we were about 1ft away from her. She's been around for a long while, but still looks bangin'. HOLLER HOLLER HOLLER!!!!

All and all, I had a great time, we chatted with the girls at the Suicide Girls table, counted 8 Pikachus, 4 Batman, 3 Jokers, 2 Captain Americas, I say 2 Adventure Time costumes, and an army of Storm Troopers. Also we took pics with a princess and Tinkerbell, R2D2 and took pics of some Gundam figures and saw a 5 minute trailer of the upcoming 'Green Lantern' movie. It looks siq as fuq!~

Hopefully next year is just as awesome as these last 3 that I've attended.
Later.

Push - 2011

Pen. About 4-5hrs

Warhol Re-Imagined!

I attended the opening reception of the Warhol Re-imagined show last night, and it was pretty awesome! It was held at Project One Gallery in San Francisco and had dozens of pieces by many well known and up and coming artists, like these 3 here.

From Top to Bottom:
Helen Bayly - Multiple Andy's
Noa - Marilyn Monroe
Rene Garcia Jr. - Muhammad Ali

There was also a wall lined with different Campbell's Soup paintings, which of course Warhol was famous for with his '32 Campbell's Soup Cans'. There was one by Decimus which was pretty rad, and a whole bunch of others that were quite amazing. I would definitely go and check them out for yourself. There were also 2 other pieces by Rene Garcia Jr. at the gallery that are not Warhol related, but very impressive none the less, one above the bar and one by the DJ booth, both measuring well over 15FT each and made solely of glitter!
All this was possible of course by the amazing Angela Massacre (check out her blog, she's way cool) her team of peeps put on a great show and you can see it now through April 19, 2011.

Enjoy!!

Suavecito and Here Be Monsters!

I went to 2 art shows last night: 'Suavecito' at Pueblo Nuevo Gallery in Berkeley, and 'Here Be Monsters!' Closing Reception at Space Gallery in San Francisco.
I got to hang out with the awesome Mayra Ramirez aka Hella Breezy - Check her blog out, it's the shit! She's also super cool and very nice and funny. She was also super nice and gave me a print by El Angel.

Suavecito: "Do you ever find yourself reminiscing about the good old days when the homies couldn't wait for it to be the weekend to take their rides out for a cruise with their rucas, and danced the night away to oldies but goodies? We know we do!!! And speaking of rucas, this show is dedicated to the backbone of every man in the barrio, Las Chicanitas!!! We dig your style!!!"
The 4 artists showing -
El Angel www.puesorale.blogspot.com
Rio Yañez www.rioyanez.com
Felipe Vazquez www.newark-califaz.com
Jaime Salazar www.myspace.com/dowithease

All of them had really awesome work, I highly recommend you check them all out!

Here Be Monsters: There were a few dozen artists and I'd recommend checking out the Space Gallery site to see some of the work while it's still up. I was particularly drawn to the work of Doug Fortin, he had about a dozen pieces all ranging in style and technique. His 'Vulture' piece along with 3 other birds of prey paintings were my favorite.

Time to get back to painting and drawing. See Ya!
