"Sexy Time" Custom Door Art

During the SUPER IAM8BIT reception, a young woman was so impressed with the custom piece I did on the 8BIT ladies room door, that she hired me to customize the bedroom door in her home. Above, you can see my process in creating the piece for her, from start to finish. Bon appetit!

Many thanks to said young woman for choosing me to create her very first piece of original art. And thanks to the delivery men who dropped off & picked up the door from my studio. That thing was heavier than it looked!

Custom Galaga Arcade Machines!

These are some snapshots of the customized Galaga arcade cabinets that I rocked, just a few minutes after I finished painting them. These will be on display for the duration of SUPER IAM8BIT, now on exhibit in Los Angeles, California. For more info, visit www.iam8bit.com.

Submerged in IAM8BIT

As some of you may know, I illustrated the poster for this week's SUPER IAM8BIT exhibition. And I'll have an exciting piece of art hanging on the walls. But the fantastic crew at IAM8BIT also asked me to come in and art-bomb the bejeezus out of their lovely new space. So between Sunday and Tuesday, I got to rock on two immaculate Galaga arcade cabinets, two doors and an entire flight of steps. SO much fun!

If you're in the Los Angeles area, please join us for the SUPER IAM8BIT opening reception, tomorrow night from 7-11pm (info below). And if you don't live here, fret not. I'll be posting photos online for all to enjoy.

FINAL FANTASY VII Custom Rock Band Guitar

These are progress shots of another Rock Band guitar controller I was hired to customize. This one is themed after Final Fantasy VII, specifically the character Cloud. I can't even tell you how many kids I've seen cosplaying as this guy, complete with spiky blonde hair and ginormous broadsword. Of course, those costumed dudes were carrying fake swords made of spray-painted cardboard and paper towel tubes. But hey, it all comes down to imagination, right?
