Another week, another Ten Paces adventure.  This weeks topic: Musicians.

I got a sketch  from Rachel Dougherty of Mick Jagger for which I made this:

”

And my sketch was of the Residents, check it out Here. Nick Iluzada did a sweet job finishing it.

And coincidentally, the Residents have covered a couple Rollingstones songs, so the whole trade made a weird sense. http://youtu.be/E_nwzeN-cdQ

Gallery 1988 is putting on a Classic Video Game show at their Venice location. (edit: Here is a link to all a the work: http://nineteeneightyeight.com/collections/old-school-video-game-show-originals)

I opted to draw inspiration from one of my favorite series of point and click adventure games: Monkey Island. And who is the best character in the game?! Murray probably, but second best is LeChuck, the Zombie Pirate.

Here is my take on him, based of the original game:

It is 8×10, acrylic on maple wood and titled: “LeChuck”

And it just occurred to me that’s nearly the same name as my Garbage Pail Kid, weird…

And for fun, LeChuck as he appeared in the game

I got to participate in the Gallrty 1988 Garbage Pail Kids show, it opened last night at their Melrose location. (Edit: check out all the work here: http://nineteeneightyeight.com/collections/garbage-pail-kids-original-artwork)

I have fond memories of Garbage Pail Kids from when I was a child.  And one of the running themes I always enjoyed was the vomit. So I based my card off the first ever vomit card from Series 1,’Up Chuck/Heavin Steven’, but really, the painting is an homage to them all.

Here it is:

It is 12″ x 17″ acrylic on canvas, and titled, “Up Chuck”

And here is the original card I based it off of.
