Wondercon SF 2009

by josh on Feb 28, 2009 • No Comments

The Wondercon in San Francisco opened this Friday at the Moscone Center. It goes until Sunday, so if your like me an missed the opening on Friday there is still two more days. I am a fan of comic books, but I enjoy the artists alley a lot better. It’s a great chance to score some prints and originals from some really amazing artists. I will hopefully have some good pics of the event when I get back, but I wanted to give a rundown of who I know will be there.

Alex Pardee with at the Zerofriends booth #1374. He will be signing, and the good news is that there is 25 of the Watchmen prints (shown) available. He saved some after the NY Con for his SF buddies.

David Mack will be at table #134, he is right next to Jim Lee so you can check out his work as well. David will have some books and limited editions.

Ben Walker will be in the small press area, booth #SP18. He will have copies of his new book, t-shirts and some affordable mini paintings for like $10. He will also have Michael Slack with him at the booth.

Camilla D’Errico has two tables, and some new plushes to show off in the artists alley at #085

Mike Mignola can be found in the artists alley at table #101

Jonathan Wayshak/Scrapbook Manifesto can be found in the artists alley at booth #121

I’m sure there is way more that I have not found yet. There are some signings if that is your thing. Erin Grey, Adam West, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Richard Kiel and the one one I will get is from Tony Todd (Candyman, Night of the Living Dead).

“The Gauntlet” limited print by Greg “Craola” Simkins

by josh on Feb 13, 2009 • No Comments

At the opening of Craola’s show at Ffity24SF I talked to Craola a bit about collaborations he would like to be in, artists he would like to show with and so on. Alex Pardee was one of the he mentioned, “it just makes sense” he said and I agree. Well we might not have a collaborative show from the two of these amazing artists for some time, but Zerofriends/Alex Pardee is bringing the fans a limited edition print by Craola. The print is entitled “The Gauntlet”, it is 16″ x 20″ Printed with Archival Inks on Acid Free Velvet Cotton Rag, limited to only 100. And as it says on the site “Each print is hand signed, numbered and loved by Greg Simkins”. The prints from Zerofriends look amazing, and with Craola’s artwork on them this print is surely to sell out very fast, especially since it’s only $125

Head on over and grab one before it’s to late.

“The Real Batman” print by Alex Pardee

by josh on Jan 28, 2009 • No Comments

At the Alternative Press Expo just this last year, Alex Pardee had some small prints for sale of “The Real Batman”. The prints sold out pretty fast. It looks like Zerofriends.com has added a larger version of the print. This new print is 17″ x 22″ Printed with Archival Inks on Acid Free Velvet Cotton Rag, signed and numbered in an edition of 200.

I have the smaller one and it looks amazing, there is no doubt this larger one looks just as good if not better.

Under the Influence: Beastie Boys show now online

by josh on Jan 8, 2009 • No Comments

The Beastie Boys theme art show “Under the Influence” opens at the Gallery 1988 in LA tonight. The show features a whole mess of artists creating art inspired by the band. The show is now online to view, or order art if you wish. Along with original art there is also a good amount of limited edition prints made for the show.

There are some really great artists in the show such as: Ken Garduno, Tom Haubrick, Matt Dangler, Aaron Jasinksi, Andrew Hem, Michael Page, Alex Pardee and the three shown below, Dave Macdowell, Casey Weldon and Chris Murray. Dave’s painting is of course amazing as usual, the colors and textures in Chris’s and Casey’s Biz Markie with the Ted Nugent shirt and energy beam shooting mouth is too much.

Check out the show here: Beastie Boys Show

Ron English and Alex Pardee at Fifty24 SF

by josh on Jan 8, 2009 • No Comments

Tonight at Fifty24 in San Francisco, Ron English’s solo show “Mythographic Vicissitudes” opens in the lower level of the gallery, and Alex Pardee’s “Letters From Digested Children” opens on the upper level of the gallery. Both are amazing artists and being able to see both shows in the same gallery is too good to be true.

Arrested Motion has a preview of Ron English’s show Here. Io9.com has a preview of Alex’s show, and it looks like it’s going to be killer. I love the idea of the video installation that he has in the show, I wish this was seen in more shows. Check it out Here

I’ll be seeing the show in Saturday and will no doubt have many pics to share. For now head over to Fifty24sf.com

Alex Pardee’s “Bunnywith” now a daily webcomic

by josh on Dec 8, 2008 • 2 Comments

One of Alex’s most memorable creations has to be “Bunnywith”. There have been comics, plush toys, and vinyl toys. Alex stated that “”Bunnywith”, and his adorable smile, allows me to be the asshole I wish I was 98% of my life.” So for those out there that love Alex’s work, as well as this character, we now get even more. The new incarnation of “Bunnywith” is a daily updated web-comic, well almost daily.

One of the things about looking for new art by your favorite artists, is that it takes time to create. So with web-comics you get something new everyday. Something that can make you laugh, think or just give your day a pick-up. I have a list of web-comics that I read everyday and am very happy to add this one to the line-up.

Alternative Press Expo all this weekend

by josh on Nov 1, 2008 • No Comments

All weekend long, if you are in San Francisco you might want to stop over to the Concourse and check out the Alternative Press Expo. It will be filled with all sorts of indie comics, and there will of course be the original art and prints that many of these artists will no doubt have with them.

I love indie, self published comics, but it is really the art/prints that I am going to see. So I have put together a little list of some of the artists that you will be able to check out at the show. I am told it is not very big, nothing like SDCC, so finding some of these artists shouldn’t be too hard in case I wasn’t able to get the table number they are at.

- Food One, Dave Crosland & Scott Morse will be at #314, and then later that night at the Space Gallery on Polk for a live art with screen printing on an item you bring.
- Tom Haubs and Ken Garduno will be there, with some original works and a new zine.
- Hi Fructose will be there at #350-351, make sure you stop by to pick up some back issues.
- Lesley Reppeteaux & Daryll Peirce will be at table #119
- Alex Pardee will be there with ZeroFriends at #150. Bunnywith 2 will be sold, and a new 8″ x 10″ print that looks amazing.
- Ben Walker will be at table #446
- Camilla d’Errico will be at table #272, with some prints, keychains and books.
- David Choong Lee will be at #254-255
- IDW Publishing will be at booth #331-332, and I think Ben Templesmith will be signing.
- Jim Mahfood will be at table #314
- Jeremy Tinder will be at #349 with his new “Papercutter” book
- Tom Neely will be at #360-361 with some books

Along with the A.P.E there is also two shows opening that go along with the Expo.
At Varnish Art, the group show “Crom” opens. It’s all work inspired by the Conan movies from the artists that are there for APE. The show opens at 7pm and will have work from N8 Van Dyke, Jon Wayshak, Alex Pardee and many more. Check it out

Also, Panelists IV opens at Giant Robot SF at 6:30pm – 10pm. The show will feature work from such comic artists as: Allison Cole, Matt Furie, David Horvath, Mats!?, Tom Neely, Jeremy Tinder and many others. Check it out Here
