The Joker (in the Eyes of Pop Surrealism)
BAM! POOF! BANG! I'm movin' right along this month with my two superhero themed projects which will culminate at the end of the month with My Hero | My Villain (an art exhibit at No Egrets Tattoo) and The Sketchbook Project (which will tour the globe in a traveling interactive exhibit before being housed in The Brooklyn Art Library.) Here's a second helping from The Sketchbook Project where my assigned theme is Heroes & Villains...

The Dark Knight (in a Straight Jacket)
I'm in superfanboy mode here at DREGstudios! this week with two comic-themed projects this month. I'm knee deep in my comics and graphic novels scouring for ideas to fill up a sketchbook for Art House Co-op, who do some wonderful group projects collaborating artists from across the globe. I've previously participated in two of their Sketchbook Projects, from the which my entries are housed in The Brooklyn Art Library with thousands of others artists' work open to public viewing. Past Sketchbook Projects have gone on tour across the United States, Canada, and Europe before resting on the shelves of this one-of-a-kind library.
For their 2012 World Tour Project, themes were given and I was assigned "Heroes and Villains." Irony and laws of attraction always seem to align with the compulsion to create taking me by the seat of my pants. I'm also slated to do an interactive installation at My Hero / My Villain at No Egrets Tattoo here in Clarksville (a one-night extravaganza on January 28th.) Check out my New Year's Day HULK SMASH post for more!
As the next couple of weeks pass, I'll be giving you some previews of the work for these shows. Today's sneak peek is special though because it will really be the only work which bridges both the My Hero / My Villain exhibit AND my Sketchbook Project. Bats is always my favorite because he doesn't have any powers, he's just insane; this insanity being the inspiration behind my first sketch for my Heroes and Villains theme. I'll also be doing a painting from this sketch for my interactive display at the end of the month!
