Turns out Shadow Man wasn’t skull-focused enough for the MF Gallery show I NEED YOUR SKULL!!! They were kind enough to offer to let me show it in their upcoming zombie-themed exhibit ZOMBIES ATTACK BROOKLYN and, in the meantime, I whipped up UNDEAD for I NEED YOUR SKULL!!!
MF Gallery in NYC invited me (earlier in the year) to participate in their upcoming I NEED YOUR SKULL skull-themed group show. I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing an interpretation of Baron Samedi / The Shadow Man for a while, so this seemed like a good time. The image above is the result.
As it turns out, though, Shadow Man wasn’t skull-centric enough for I NEED YOUR SKULL. However, it’s zombie enough for the next show they’re doing ZOMBIES ATTACK BROOKLYN, so look for it there!
ZOMBIES ATTACK BROOKLYN opens June 26, 2010 at the MF Gallery. Visit them online for details about the show and the gallery location at http://www.mfgallery.net.
It’s finally happened. After 40+ years of drawing and painting creepy stuff, I’ve been asked to be the Artist Guest of Honor at Orycon 32, November 2010, the theme of which will be (appropriately enough) “The Dark Side of Fantasy”. Details will eventually be posted at http://www.orycon.org.
Sinister Visions Head Honcho Chad Savage will have two new paintings showing at Gallery Provocateur‘s 2009 Annual Halloween Exhibition in Chicago, headlined by none other than Clive Barker.
