“Skull Island” by Chet Phillips
Friday March 20th marks the opening of a unique art show at Gallery 1988. The “Postcard Correspondence” show will feature artwork, not only with a postcard theme, but also presented in the size format of postcards. Along with framed pieces in the gallery, printed postcards will be available for purchase. Many of the artists, along with myself, will offer a signed limited edition run of their pieces. “Skull Island” and “The Great Escape” will be on display and a signed limited edition of 100 for each will be for sale. Each measures at 4.25″ x 6″ (Stay tuned for the gallery store link after the reception.)

“Mystery Science Kabuki” (click image to enlarge)
Hero Complex Gallery presents the “Kung Fu Theater” (*not limited to Kung Fu) art show, opening November 14th. The show encompasses a variety of Asian themed pop culture imagery. I’ll have two pieces for the show: “Mystery Science Kabuki,” is a send up of Japanese printmaking and drama with Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot from Mystery Science Theater 3000 at center stage.
“The Kaiju Man” (click image to enlarge)
For my second piece I created a Godzilla themed image with a twist. Titled “The Kaiju Man,” it illustrates a story I wrote and incorporated into the piece about an actor transformed into a giant from nuclear radiation. He uses his new found abnormality to don enormous monster suits and act in Kaiju movies. This new career was cut short after the radiation’s second stage turned him into an actual Kaiju monster. His malevolent rampage was filmed in one last battle against the army in which he was ultimately destroyed.
