DR. STRANGELOVE

This new screenprint I designed for Spoke Art and the Castro Theatre is for sale now. Signed and numbered edition of 100. Always intimidating coming up with a Kubrick design... DR. STRANGELOVE is probably my favorite comedy of all time. Pick up a print at the Spoke Art store.

SCORSESE

I made this set of nine Italian mini-prints for Scorsese: An Art Show Tribute, curated by Spoke Art for Bold Hype Gallery in NYC. I was able to be at the opening last weekend at it was a great time and a big success. The prints are now available for sale online in the Spoke Art shop here. They are available individually for $10 each or as a set of nine prints for only $60.

The prints are 5x7" each and I imagined them almost like a series of book covers: small, iconic and connected through a repeated motif. I was interested in how Scorsese's films are often about men and the transformations that these man undergo by way of exposure to a new world or way of life. I thought that using Italian titles would look neat graphically and would also serve as an homage to Scorsese's Italian heritage. Just something a little different!

Congrats and kudos to all the other artists and to Ken at Spoke Art for making this happen.

EYES WIDE SHUT

My latest print for Spoke Art and the Castro Theatre commemorates the screening of one of my favorite films of all time, Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT. I've always wanted to create a design for this movie and was pretty excited when the opportunity came up. This 18x24" six-color screenprint is now for sale at Spoke Art in a signed and numbered edition of 100. Along with two prints for THE SHINING by Joshua Budich and Brandon Schaefer. One more print coming next week and then it's a wrap for 2012!

LABYRINTH artist proofs

A few artist copies of my LABYRINTH screen print for Spoke Art and the Castro Theatre are now up in my shop. 2 colors with a GLOW IN THE DARK layer. 18x24". Signed and printed at Kangaroo Press, Nashville, TN. And stay tuned for a new Castro print dropping on Monday!

WES ANDERSON ARTIST PROOFS

A very limited amount of artist copies of my Wes Anderson prints for Spoke Art and the Castro Theatre are now up in my shop. THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS and THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU, both in regular and variant editions, all 18x24," printed at Nakatomi Inc. and signed by me. The ROYAL TENENBAUMS variant colorway in particular was selected for a Christmassy look, which reminds me, these will ship in plenty of time for the holidays! Get em here.

VERTIGO ARTIST PROOFS

2X JENNIFER CONNELLY

After her first film role in Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA, a young Jennifer Connelly was cast in the leading role of PHENOMENA (aka CREEPERS), a classic of 80's Italian horror that remains somewhat underappreciated despite being a personal favorite of its own director, Dario Argento. The next year, she starred in Jim Henson's LABYRINTH. When Spoke Art and the Castro Theatre asked me to pick a new poster subject from their fantastic September slate, I went right to Friday the 14th, where the Castro would present a late-night Jennifer Connelly double feature of these two 80's Connelly classics. If only I could be there to see them back-to-back in 35mm.

For the occasion, I am so proud to present these two screenprints which are now available at Spoke Art and which will also be for sale at the Castro this weekend, where early patrons will also get a commemorative lobby card. We printed these at Kangaroo Press, each an 18x24" two-color print in which the 2nd layer reveals these glow-in-the-dark hidden images:

Thanks for the movies Jennifer, and thanks to Spoke Art and the Castro Theatre!

VERTIGO

Fresh off its landing atop the new Sight and Sound poll of the greatest films of all time, VERTIGO screened this weekend in 70mm at San Francisco's historic Castro Theatre and for the occasion SpokeArt asked me to design this commemorative screenprint. It's one of my favorite prints I've had the pleasure of designing, and you can pick one up at SpokeArt's online shop now. Printed at Nashville's Kangaroo Press, it's a three-color 18x24" signed and numbered edition of 100. Also available at SpokeArt: my Castro Theatre prints for Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

NEW CASTRO THEATRE PRINTS

After just being bumped from its mantle atop the Sight & Sound film poll, CITIZEN KANE comes to the Castro Theatre tomorrow, August 5th, in a double feature with GONE WITH THE WIND celebrating the Castro's 90th anniversary. Spoke Art commissioned me to design these two new screenprints, each signed and numbered, in a limited edition of 100 prints each, on French electric red and steel blue 100lb Construction paper. Printed in Nashville at Kangaroo Press.

Pick them up individually or as a matching set here at Spoke Art's shop, or in person at the Castro as you wish them a happy birthday and enjoy these two beloved classics. Lobby cards featuring both print designs will be given to Castro attendees.

As a bonus peek, speaking of Sight & Sound, here's an unused cover design I imagined for their 2012 poll:
