Two toons from Joe Scarano

  • by

Well, color me blood red and call me dumbfounded because Joe Scarano just floored me for  Deadeyes!

We will reveal more of the Grimleys that Shing wrote about tomorrow, but today we have two finished pieces from the amazing show!

Up first “Circling the Drain”. A grayscale creepy masterpiece which looks like how probably most feel post Mardi Gras last night!
Circling_The_Drain_150Now for a mega splash of color, “I’ll show you all my tricks”. These happy cartoon characters are living the life!
Ill_Show_You_All_My_Tricks_cropped_150See them in person at Deadeyes running March 7th – 30th, with an opening reception on Friday, March 7th from 6 – 9 PM.

Is that a Skelve Robot by Robert Hoggard?

Now this is something I wasn’t expecting, like a left hook to my jaw, a Skelve Robot! This badass piece by Robert Hoggard titled “Misadventure” arrives this Friday for an ABQ takeover ala Rampage!

This custom-built mech by Robert is adorned with UV LEDs in his head for a creepy glow and survey the destruction of the surroundings, but also contains a glow in the dark skull for extra amazingness. There are also lights inside to see the stellar paint job by Jay Hollopeter.

More bots soon from Robert.

Deadeyes, by Robert Hoggard, Tim Lee and Joe Scarano, runs March 7th – 30th, with an opening reception on Friday, March 7th from 6 – 9 PM.

Tim Lee told me to “Get a Grip”!

Get-a-gripI am back from vacation and slowly recovering from jet lag, and leave it to Tim Lee to tell me to “Get a Grip”.
“Get a Grip” is a double-sided wall hanger of epic proportions! A classic Lee woodcut skull is being gently caressed by a monstrous tattooed arm. Tim is making us wait like kids at Christmas for the other side of the arm that is supposedly painted in different colors. Ugh  – the wait is killing me.

Fortunately, we wont have to wait long for Deadeyes because it opens this Friday!
