So I'm showing work in a group diddy at Suite 100 Gallery (Seattle), next month. The exhibit is called "Technical Difficulties," and will consist of robot-themed art. I'm contributing two pieces from 2008, along with two new "More Than Meets The Eye" collaged paintings. Below are the sketches for those.
"More Than Meets The Eye: Lust" - This one is a cosmic, elongated-figure-havin' shebot, riding a flaming dildo rocket. She'll be painted and drawn over collaged layers of naughty, suggestive photos. My obsession with boobies and phallacies has never been more obvious.
"More Than Meets The Eye: War" - He's a brutal, old owl, bristling with missles, gun turrets, knives, and a mouth full of gun barrels, to boot! This birdy'll be collaged with all sorts of explosive weapon parts... a feel good piece, for sure.
Dave Crosland (aka King Gum) is an American illustrator whose stylized art is a harmonious collision of traditional aesthetics with modern sensibilities. His art has graced the walls of galleries in the USA and abroad, comic books, album covers, apparel, concert posters, and beyond. Most recently, Dave spent a year working as a designer on Disney XD's Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja, at Titmouse Inc. Crosland's other notable works include Yo Gabba Gabba! Comic Book Time and Scarface: Scarred For Life, art for the pop group Gym Class Heroes' gold album "As Cruel As School Children", and illustrations for the Kick-Ass video game for Sony’s PS3. His clients have included MTV, Warner Brothers Animation, Ride Snowboards, Atlantic Records, IDW Publishing, Walt Disney Animation, Oni Press and more. Dave can currently be found living in Los Angeles, toiling away at book projects, animation concepts and a body of new fine art works.

Love the robot w/rocket wiener. I especially love that odd leg/hand appendage. Robits are the rad!
