Osaka Popstar Devil Dog Art Show!

2008-10-29T12:39:00.000-07:00

Here is the piece I did for the Osaka Popstar Devil Dog Art Show.

Osaka Popstar is an awesome Punk/Pop group. Their music is super rad! The group consists of punk rockers from some of my favorite groups of all time, So I was very honored to be included in the show. Plus, a portion of the money will help rescue animals!

Here's a little bio on the the group:

JOHN CAFIERO is the creative force behind Osaka Popstar and this ultra punk pop masterpiece. A long-time collaborator of the Misfits (among other smash hits he produced their visionary Project 1950 record, the highest charting Misfits CD ever), Cafiero grew up in the stellar orbit of the Ramones and the heroic army of first wave New York City punk rockers. Joining him on their debut mission are the AMERICAN LEGENDS OF PUNK, including MARKY RAMONE (THE RAMONES), JERRY ONLY (THE MISFITS), DEZ CADENA (BLACK FLAG), and IVAN JULIAN (RICHARD HELL & THE VOIDOIDS). “It’s great to work with your friends and who better for a band than the guys who started the scene?” says Cafiero. “This is my own personal Punk Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame.”

This month has been chock full of painting! whew! These three pieces are for the "Wonka" show at the Alcove Gallery in Atlanta. I based all of these from the 70's classic movie that I have loved since I've been a wee tot. In the book, Veruca gets taken away by a pack of squirrels; But I have aways loved in the movie when she falls down the garbage chute because she's a bad egg.
