The Day of the Dead show at St. Cece's in Corktown starts tonight and runs through November 2nd. The show features many skilled locals such as, John Marroquin, Chris Sanchez, Kelly O'Hara, Emily Zelasko, Jeff Sornig and a few others. So, come on down, have a drink, some grub and view some cool artwork.

This is a photo in lieu of a proper scan, but I am scrunched for time here! This will be one of the five pieces that I will have in the Heroes and Villains show at St. Cece's Pub in Corktown starting tonight at six. This is a very cool place run by very nice folks. It's an old church complete with stained glass windows. So, come on by today through Sunday, look at some art, eat some good food and have a drink or two. The artists that will be representing are: Bill Pulkovski, John Marroquin, Kelly O'Hara, Tony Miello, Danny Dunbar, Erick Gutierrez (sp), Chris Sanchez, among others.

Heroes And Villains Gallery Show

This Thursday through Sunday I will have a few pieces of art in this show. St. Cece's is an old church converted to a pub and is a very cool place right in the heart of Corktown. The show will feature art by the area's finest talent. And me.

The opening is Thursday night at six and we will also be selling prints of our works. C'mon down, have a beer, a meal and check out some art.

El Arto

El Arto is the studio name of a couple illustrator buddies of mine by the name of John Marroquin and Chris Sanchez and they have taken their mascot and studio image El Arto and turned him/it into a comic book, which will debut this weekend at Detroit Fanfare. I was honored to have been asked to do a pin up for the book, which is the image above. I wasn't sure at first about the background, but after finishing it and letting it sit for awhile, I think I achieved what I was going for in a claustrophobic and cluttered background, something seemingly impossible to escape from. Bullets, Bandito Goblins and death. But, our hero (or is it an anti-hero?), the undead mariachi has his six-shooters  ready to face the improbable.

Make sure to check out the artwork of John and Chris on their websites and be sure to come on by Detroit Fanfare this weekend in Dearborn, MI and check out the El Arto book! Oh, yeah, I'll be there, too.
