“I Want My Music Video Art Show”

I had the pleasure of meeting music video director Chris Marrs Piliero when he dropped by my booth during San Diego’s Comic Con back in July. He invited me to contribute to his (and Dave MacDowell’s) curated  “I Want My Music Video Art Show.” Each artist was invited to choose from a predetermined list of music videos and interpret it using their style of art. The resulting collection of work will be showcased at Meltdown Gallery in L.A. on October 7th and runs through October 20th. If you’re in the L.A. area, but sure to drop by and check it out.

My contribution is based on the Johnny Cash cover of the Nine Inch Nails song “Hurt.” Signed Giclee print with inset skeleton and crown elements.
