She's POISON for My Hero | My Villain THIS Saturday!

Inks on Bristol / 2012

We're down to the wire for My Hero | My Villain Exhibit curated by Joe Melanson at No Egrets Tattoo this Saturday night at 7PM.  I'll be in the flesh, painting live and watching people dance to my interactive exhibit where four NEW paintings will have headphones hooked up to them with dubstep Superhero Theme tracks composed by TEADS!

I want to give you one last preview of the show since we're 48 hours away.  In addition to the interactive paintings, I'll be exhibiting some new illustrations including a Rogues Gallery of some of my own favorite villains in 5in x 7in form including the likes of Bizarro Superman, Carnage, Brainiac and our feature here today, Poison Ivy!

After you check out the process pictures below, drop by The Leaf-Chronicle's website with an insightful and in-depth look into the local art scene written by Karen Parr-Moody by CLICKING HERE!  She gives a great promo for My Hero | My Villain and the story at some of the artists involved.

It's pretty tight and tiny work as I outline the vines in green...

Of course there is a THIRD EYE in my form and fashion!

Completed Line Work

I want to see YOU in a set of my headphones Saturday!  Drop by No Egrets Tattoo here in Clarksville THIS Saturday night from 7-10PM! 

IRON MAN on the Rocks

Acrylic on Canvas / 2012

January is full of heroism and villainy here at DREGstudios as we prepare for My Hero | My Villain curated by Joe Melanson at No Egrets Tattoo ONE NIGHT ONLY on Saturday, January 28th!

I've spent the past few Sundays teaming up with Amateur Supervillain Charles "Wolfie" Bennett at his lair of acrylic and gouache solitude to paint new material for this unique exhibit.  I am doing four acrylic paintings on canvas which will be the basis of a collaborative multi-media display you can ONLY EXPERIENCE IN PERSON!

On New Year's Day, I showed you the first painting- HULK SMASH! and I've kept a tight seal on my Spiderman which I painted the Sunday after.  Alas, I do have new treats today though with some process pictures from my Iron Man painting.  I decided to go with the old school original armor suit Tony Stark donned long before he became the drunk we love and adore today in reds and golds.  I teamed this Golden Age relic up with his modern habit of the drink though.  What do you figure a billionaire superhero sips on?

To see the final products, I hope you make it out to the exhibit next weekend!  For now, check out these process pictures from my painting session at The Wolfman's...
