King For a Day Show- Hero Complex Gallery
Hero Complex Gallery presents the “King For A Day” art show, a tribute to Stephen King’s full body of collected works. A portion of the proceeds from the show will benefit Mr. King’s charity, The Haven Foundation. The Haven Foundation is a non-profit service that benefits freelance creatives of all types that find themselves unable to work due to disease or accident. Opening reception is Friday March 21st, 1-10PM. Online link to follow once the store link is up.
Above is my contribution to the show titled “Fury,” a signed giclee limited edition of 5. Inspired by Stephen King’s “Christine.” Beyond the scrapyard and into a dark region of hell, a second life for the demonic Plymouth Fury “Christine” is re-imagined as a coin operated ride for fiendish tykes.

Matt Ferguson- Shark Repellent Bat Spray

Top 5 Reasons to Attend Saturday’s Austin Flea:
1. 40+ artists offering amazing handmade creations.
2. Complete your Valentine’s Day shopping early, allowing you to concentrate fully on your plans for world domination and/or cleaning out the garage.

4. The sad gas station box of chocolates just won’t do it for you.
5. 4 out of 5 doctors say it’s good for your heart to attend. (the fifth is sullen, heartless bastard that takes joy in nothing.)
Ghosts, Monsters and Flair
“Who You Gonna Call” signed tribute print
Marking its 30 year anniversary, “Ghostbusters” busted on to the pop-culture landscape with insanely humorous vengeance. With Ivan Reitman’s skilled direction and the comic genius of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis leading the pack of a stellar cast of actors, it was an instant classic. It was a true movie-watching pleasure, experiencing all the twists, turns and punchlines in the theater in 1984. Above is my tribute to the film, including some of the iconic imagery and quotes.
“It’s Pronounced Fronkensteen” signed tribute print
Mel Brooks is responsible for creating some of the greatest comedic tag lines and phrases in film history. One of his best achievements, in my humble opinion, is the visual recreation of James Whale’s “Frankenstein,” titled “Young Frankenstein.” The beautiful black and white feature paid loving tribute to the original with nuance and care, (not to mention inclusion of the original “Frankenstein” lab equipment) all the while delivering non-stop slapstick, puns and sight gags in true Mel Brooks form. Premiering 40 years ago, it has stood the test of time with its immense silliness.
“Case of the Mondays” signed tribute print
Anyone who has ever worked for a corporation or big company can relate to the cult classic “Office Space.” Director Mike Judge, also known for “Beavis and Butthead” and “King of the Hill,” transformed his “Milton” character to the big screen in a live action comedy. Even though the movie is centered on the plight of Peter Gibbons and his Kafkaesque struggles against TPS reports and his boss, Bill Lumbergh, I chose the soft spoken sociopath Milton as the centerpiece for my tribute of this unique and clever comedy.
All three available in the ChetArt Etsy shop.

Heisenberg, Bueller and Ralphie
A series overflowing with incredible writing and acting,”Breaking Bad” dropped its viewers into a beaker of highly volatile creativity. Vince Gilligan presented us with a unique cast of characters and plot lines that can be shocking one moment and slyly clever the next. It’s sad to see it end. This is my small way of paying tribute to one of the very best TV dramas and the most infamous chemistry teacher on the planet.
This image, as well as the following two are available for sale as signed 11 x 14 prints. Visit the ChetArt shop to learn more.
“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” represents a signature piece from the 80s and one of John Hughes’ finest creations. Chock full of clever writing and a great message about seizing the day, it also serves as a love letter/postcard to the great city of Chicago. My tribute embraces Mr. Hughes’ genius and I wish he was still with us, creating more gems like this.
In 1983 Bob Clark transformed the incredible words of Jean Shepherd into the holiday classic “A Christmas Story.” The end result brought forth a flood of memorable and hilarious quotes that I’ve paid tribute to from this warm story of childhood dreams and nostalgia.
All three of these tributes are available as signed 11 x 14 prints.
