We had a wonderful weekend in San Antonio, vending at the 2015 Alamo City Comic Con. It was wonderful to see returning shoppers, meet new supporters and visit with insanely talented fellow exhibitors. Thank you to all the great folks who came by and showed some support for ChetArt!

“King of the Monsters” by Chet Phillips
Gallery 1988 celebrates the magical and monstrous films of Guillermo Del Toro with the art show: “In Service of Monsters,” curated by Chogrin Muñoz and Gary Deocampo. I was invited (and thus excited) to create an image for a promotional poster for the show. A variety of creatures emerge from a book, including characters from Blade 2, Pacific Rim, Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Pan’s Labyrinth and The Devil’s Backbone. The poster measures 11″ x 17″ and in addition, a signed limited edition Giclee print run and framed version will be available at the gallery and their online shop. I also created “Death Match” for the show. It’s a mash up of the Angel of Death from Hellboy 2 with a the Otachi kaiju and Gipsy Danger from Pacific Rim. For this entry, a print on wood and limited edition Giclee run will be available.
Show reception is Friday, September 11th- 7-10 PM

Quentin Tarantino is a directorial master of new cult mythology. His stories weave humor, action, ultra violence and in the case of Kill Bill, hip over the top fun. Armed with an amazing cast, Mr. Tarantino led us through a blood-soaked tale of revenge full of samurai swords, martial arts and witty one liners. The musical choices are classic and are forever linked to imagery and the tone of the movie. (insert Quincy Jones’ Ironside theme here.) My tribute to this visual wild ride focuses on Volume 1 with memorial icons, quotes and the blood soaked bride as a centerpiece from the film’s end.
12 full color illustrations from the “Childhood” series have been brought together to create a whimsical 2016 wall calendar. A variety of pop culture characters exhibit nostalgic childhood activities, from kite flying, catching fireflies, playing with a favorite toy or game and much more. Calendar page spreads measures at 11″ x 17″ vertically. Along with indications of major holidays, there are also fun pop culture milestones sprinkled throughout. Cover is printed on sturdy 100 lb. cover stock with high gloss finish with interior calendar pages printed on 80 text stock.
Don’t attempt to function in 2016 without a Childhood calendar on your wall!
