TRPS Rock Art By The Bay at The Cannery, August 18

TRPS presents:

Rock Art By The Bay at The Cannery

Sat­ur­day August 18, 2012 from 10:00am — 6:00pm

The Rock Poster Soci­ety (TRPS) is pleased to announce the rock poster art event of the sum­mer! TRPS presents Rock Art By the Bay on Sat­ur­day August 18, 2012 at the Can­nery near San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf. The show will run from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admis­sion: FREE

I’ll be attending TRPS Rock Art By The Bay at The Cannery. It’s going to be a busy weekend.

Tonight, Thursday, August 16, 2012 I’ll be making a rare showing of my art pieces on wood panel at Varnish Fine Art Gallery at 16 Jessie Street, San Francisco. Pieces sold at Varnish benefit Visual Aid, so it is definitely for a really great cause. Come tonight, it’ll make a great pre-TRPS social event, and you can have a look at “Alpha,” “Omega,” “Cosmos,” and “Mind Spring,” and bring one home for a good cause!

I’ve got some news to share regarding some exclusive releases for the Rock Art by the Bay.

I’ll be making some never released artist proofs and very limited variants available on a one per person basis only to participants of the exposition on Saturday, August 18, 2012. There are some surprises here:

Late last year, Jonathan Brebner, told me he was making a science fiction movie called “Novos.”  He explained the plot thus; thousands of years after a desperate exodus from a dying world, a band of the last remaining humans return to Earth and come into conflict with the artificial life they left behind. He asked me to make an art print to celebrate his upcoming film, and also to help raise production funding. I was intrigued with his vision of biomorphic robots and technology so advanced that it was somehow fused with nature. So here I’m bringing my “take” on Brebner’s futuristic vision, a biomorphic robot with sense-enhansing hear-gear.
