Series for 2009's Grindhouse Show @ Hyaena Gallery

Angry Red Planet

One of my favorite monster designs as a kid. I loved this monster then and now.

Acrylic on canvas

Darjeeling Ltd.

Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors. I was struggling for something to represent him and the snake from The Darjeeling Limited just made sense. To me it represented uncontrollable beauty and tragedy.

Eskimo (Heathers)

J.D.: Wanna go out tonight? Catch a movie? Miniature golf?
Veronica Sawyer: I was thinking more along the lines of slitting Heather Duke's wrists open, making it look like suicide.
J.D.: Ah, now you're talking. I can be up for that. I've already started underlining meaningful passages in her copy of Moby Dick

20"x5" framed

Henrietta

Another favorite creature design from Evil Dead 2. This is perhaps the Saturday Morning Cartoon version of Henrietta which I'd love to see.

Frogs vs. Zombie Jesus

Another film where the poster art was better than the film. I really want to see a film about giant frogs eating people - and maybe zombie Jesus'. Just Sayin'.

Matango

Also known as Attack of the Mushroom People. I love this film, not just because it parallels Gilligan's Island, the haunted ships, atmosphere but it's not really a horror film. The Mushroom People just try to peer pressure the standed castaways into eating mushrooms. That's it! Made by Toho who put out the Godzilla films.

Terrorvision

Charles Band's lost classic. This is in my top 5 favorite films and my wife and I quote it regularly. One day it will be released legitimately on DVD. I hope. See the VHS!

Acrylic on canvas

Wasp Woman

*inspired by the poster art that has nothith to do with the movie. I always thought the film would be more successful if it did.

16x20

Acrylic on canvas

Trilogy of Terror

One of the most iconic and undercelebrated horror characters. Before Chucky there was this Zuni fetish doll with it's stabbing and gnashing. Chucky never possessed Karen Black.

The Mosquito

Mosquito and Spider's Tribute the 1958 classic The Fly

Hollywood ? Hookers

The word "Chainsaw" is illegal to have in the title of motion pictures in Britain. This is such a ridiculous form of censorship - I made this piece as a tribute to it.

16x20

Acrylic on canvas

Lefty and Lefty

Lefty was Dennis Hopper's name in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and the severed left hand is from Evil Dead 2. They're both my favorite sequels of all time. This is my tribute to the 2's.

Attack of the Beast Creatures

If you haven't heard of this film, it's ok, the filmmakers are probably trying to bury it. Imagine an army of Trilogy of Terror dolls painted red and thrown at people. It's great trash!

Fluffy

What's in the box? What's in the box? This wolf/ape/beast from Creepshow was the thing of many a nightmare. And it ate Adrienne Barbeau, one of my favorite cheese actresses

16x20

Acrylic on canvas

Sugar Hill

Zombies versus Mafia Hitmen. What's not to love? Possibly the best blaxploitation and accurate voodoo film of the genre.

16x20

Acrylic on canvas

In Trash We Trust

Made to compliment Jeremy Cross'

"The Pain of Being Dead"

Return of the Living Dead is by far one of my favorite films. It introduced me to split dogs, punk rock and Linnea Quigley's boobs. It's value to cinema is immeasurable.

18x24

Acrylic on canvas

The Creature

Outside of The Monster Squad, The Creature from the Black Lagoon is one of the most neglected when it comes to sequels of all the Universal Monsters. 2 sequels vs. how many Dracula films? Unfair.

Release The Kraken!

"Release the Kraken" was slang for farting with my friends. And I love that the real Kraken was a giant octopus and Ray Harryhausen just said "Screw it, I'm making a 4 armed monkey-fish".

18x24

Acrylic on canvas

From Hell it Came

Remember the creepy trees from the Snow White forest? One ended up on a tropical island in this 1957 creature feature about a radioactive half-corpse, half log. "Frightmare! Born of Jungle Witchcraft! Created by a Curse!"

16x20

Acrylic on canvas

The Fly

Fly's are ugly, disgusting creatures. In some beliefs they're the souls of the damned. In films they're the alert of a corpse or a 1,000. The film chain titled The Fly exploits this fear of death omen. And Jeff Goldblum putting his parts in a medicine cabinet.

The Devil inside

Sunrise Adams

To fully cover my cinephillia I couldn't neglect porn. Sunrise Adams is my favorite porn star. If I learned anything from most Virgo's is they get off on work and having porn their work - It's a perfect match.
