HUGE "DOPPELGANGERS" Print On Sale SOON!

Over the course of 6 years, I would occasionally paint a quick watercolor portrait of one of my favorite movie “monsters” as a little therapy break. This side project quickly became an obsession in revisiting every movie I loved growing up and making myself smile along the way. Last year, all 185 paintings were collected individually and published in my latest art book, called “Doppelgängers”. However, now, all of these maniacs are finally hanging out at the same party. All 185 of my favorite monsters on one giant horrific print.

“DOPPELGÄNGERS” Limited Timed-Release Print
Designed (and signed) By Alex Pardee (ME!), inspired by a lifetime of horror.
36” x 24”
Printed with archival inks on bright cold press cotton rag paper.
$80 each

On sale online for ONLY 13 DAYS, starting JULY 20 at 6AM PST through AUGUST 1ST at 11:59PM PST, after which we close up the Vault of Horror and lock this print away in the dungeon it was birthed in. 

It will be available online exclusively here on my site on July 20: http://www.alexpardee.com

BONUS COMIC CON EXCLUSIVE: A limited supply of this print will also be available in person at San Diego Comic Con. Anyone who purchases this print at my booth at San Diego Comic Con (BOOTH #5502) will receive a little EXTRA fun: A pair of signed and numbered exclusive “Event Tickets” as well as a cheat-sheet/legend to be able to easily identify each monster and the film they inhabit (both items seen here). The Comic Con price is also $80 each. (NOTE: If I have any extra cheat-sheets or tickets left after Comic Con I will randomly insert them in some online orders).

Thanks so much in advance. This print means a lot to me.

FULL COMIC CON RELEASES AND SCHEDULE!!!

My favorite time of year is almost upon us. A time when you can don a cape with pride. A time when you can wear a fanny pack as a genuine utility belt. A time when you can yell “I’M MR. MEESEEKS LOOK AT ME!” and people respond with “You’re AWESOME, Bro!” instead of running the opposite direction. 

Yes. The Mardi Gras of NerdDom that is COMIC CON will be emerging from the grounds beneath San Diego and entering our dimension for 5 days, transfixing 200,000 of us into drooling fanboys fueled off of free flyers, giant bags, and the slim possibility of running into Daryl Dixon at a urinal.

And this year, for my 15th time in 16 years, I WILL BE THERE alongside two of my best, most creative friends, Dave Correia and Jon Wayshak at our usual location, BOOTH 5502 located right inside the main “A” Entrance (or as we have referred to it as, right inside the “A-Hole”). Our 20-foot long booth will be packed with purchasable-nightmares from the 3 of us, so PLEASE make sure you come by our booth AT LEAST ONCE in your epic journey of zombie-dodging, line-sitting, nacho-eating and joker-spotting.

I will be at BOOTH 5502 ALL 5 DAYS with some new stuff, some new collab projects with SuperSecretFunClub, Junk Fed and a Secret Collab , some giveaways, and some nervous handshakes, so come get all of those! Here’s a preview of most of the stuff I will have available at BOOTH 5502, but please make sure to FOLLOW ME ON ALL OF THESE OUTLETS for more previews, product details and announcements:

And lastly, even after all these years, we still get the “Hey we couldn’t find your booth” comment, which is understandable considering that our booth number is placed oddly on the official map. So please take a look at THE MORE ACCURATE TREASURE MAP DOWN BELOW HERE !

Greg Aronowitz sculpts my GHOST!

The incredible Greg Aronowitz and his magical team of fabricating wizards created the centerpiece for our "ASTRALNAUTS" art show at Gallery 1988 in LA (which is still on display until June 25th, check out the whole show online HERE). The work Greg usually does in the movie and TV industry is phenomenal, but I was BLOWN AWAY by how amazing this WYATT sculpture he did was. So so so great. Watch him and his team at Barnyard FX create Wyatt from scratch in this video below. If you have a chance to see Wyatt in person at the gallery YOU SHOULD GO! HE WILL LOVE YOU!!!! (so will we).

Check it out:

Greg was thrilled to be invited to participate in famed artists Alex Pardee and Matt Richie's art show entitled ASTALNAUTS. This gallery collection focused around the story of a space exploration team who's job it was to seek out and capture rough spirits through the Galaxy.

"BLACK (andWhite) FRIDAY" ORIGINAL ART SALE

I try not to get into altercations with strangers, because the results have always been odd when I've done so in the past. Just over 3 weeks ago, however, "odd" is an understatement for what resulted when I got hit by a car while walking in a cross-walk. I didn't get permanently injured, but my belt instantly shrank two notches around my waist as my left hip half-shattered inside my pant-leg when the car screeched to a halt. My natural reaction, aside from the initial confusion (and the drool spatter), was to stumble to toward the driver's side of the vehicle and angrily confront whoever was in the pilot's seat. In this case, it was a filthy old woman with a flesh-colored eye patch stapled to her stretched leathered skin surrounding a mouth over-pouring with extra teeth, which were gritting as she motioned to drive off in front of me without saying a word. Although I was shocked by her appearance, it didn't stop me from reaching into her car's cracked window to grab the steering wheel in a weakened attempt to thwart her escape plan. Well, she still ended up driving off. But not before she grabbed my extended hand, twisted it counterclockwise 90 degrees, and kissed it while muttering the words "twenty four" repeatedly as she squealed away laughing, letting go of my hand moments before it could have been dislocated. 

I didn't think much of it at first aside from "Holy shit, Florida is insane", but that night, my hand started trembling. The motion was subtle at first, but within 10 minutes the trembling was constant, as a patch of skin shaped like a lipstick mark on the back of my hand swelled and rose above my veins. It hurt. And the only way I can describe the pain was that it felt like my hand was nauseated, almost as if it were….craving.

That was 24 days ago. 

Since then I haven't eaten. I haven't slept. I haven't changed my clothes. I haven't even watched all of Ash Vs Evil Dead. Not because I didn't want to, but because I simply couldn't. My HAND wouldn't let me. All my hand would do is draw. Constantly. Over and over and over. Sometimes it would draw better than other times, but it never stopped….until I finished 24 new drawings. Then finally it let me rest.

Well, I decided to sell each one of these (possibly cursed) mysterious original drawings that my (possibly possessed) mysterious hand created during the last 3 weeks of my recovery.

This collection of of original black and white drawings will go on sale on Friday, November 27th at 1PM EST for my special "BLACK (andWhite) FRIDAY SALE" exclusively HERE ON MY STORE.

- Each drawing is approximately 11" x 11" ink on bristol board (unless noted, as some are on clayboard), created entirely with black india ink and a #00 Windsor Series 7 Sable Brush.

Long (possibly cursed) story short, I have over 20 new original ink drawings going on sale on 11/27 at 1PM EST exclusively on HERE ON MY STORE. Have a HAPPY (hopefully not cursed) THANKSGIVING!
