At heart, I am an absurdist. In modern times, it's getting harder to separate reality from absurdity ... but that's a conversation for another time. In this piece, I wanted to marry two completely different worlds, each relatively absurd in their own way. Two worlds so distant from each other that when thrown together, they become utterly surreal. Honestly, the thought of Frankenstein's Monster and the Creature from the Black Lagoon earnestly competing in the Showcase Showdown on The Price is Right (in the 1970s, no less) simply makes me laugh. So I created it. But I wanted to do it right, so I added an absurd amount of detail.

I don't like when people call Frankenstein's Monster "Frankenstein." So putting a Price is Right name tag on him serves two purposes: 1) It reminds people that his name is NOT Frankenstein. 2) It's silly. (I like silly.)

Classic horror is often actually more melancholy than scary, and the audience has a tendency to sometimes end up relating to and feeling more for the "monster" as a victim than the people, and humankind is revealed to be in truth more of a monster. This trait in particular is the true art of classic horror and is rarely seen in modern films. In Creature from the Black Lagoon, this is the case when Gill-Man, an innocent piscine amphibious humanoid creature who was simply trying to live his life in peace, is attacked by frightened men ... a common tale ... especially metaphorically. As for the Price is Right nametag, that's just my little absurdist twist ... and a reminder that this monster's name is not "Creature."

Fun Fact: I believe this is my first Mod Pop Art featuring an automobile; do what you will with that information. This was a fun piece to create, and my biggest challenge was restraining myself from putting out 17 color variants! Every color combination just looked so sweet, but I had to narrow it down, so I chose the best two. For this piece, and the whole collection, I wanted to make something radiating with classic '80s saturated color vibrance, without looking dated ... something cool enough for any BTTF fan to want to wear. I hope you enjoy it!

Idiot Punk: You look like a clown in that stupid jacket. Sailor: This is a snakeskin jacket! And for me it's a symbol of my individuality, and my belief... in personal freedom. Idiot Punk: Asshole. Sailor: C'mere.

For my Mod Pop Art tribute to the groundbreaking German silent horror film Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, I created a dark, minimal 2-tone feel inspired by the grim but stark look of the movie and painted my rendition of three of its most iconic images, then combined them into one piece. To contrast the simplistic near-black brushwork, I created a vivid colorful graphic background with my signature gradient banding in yellow/green/purple, a Halloween-like rainbow of sorts. Then I fit everything nicely into an oval with a grainy vignette to sort of fuse vintage and modern into one look and tie it all together.

To contrast the simplistic near-black brushwork, I created a vivid colorful graphic background with my signature gradient banding in greyscale, a Halloween-like rainbow of sorts. Then I fit everything nicely into an oval with a grainy vignette to sort of fuse vintage and modern into one look and tie it all together.

My favorite scene in Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens is the creepy shadow on the wall as Count Orlok ascends the staircase toward his final victim; it is one of the most iconic images in film and perfectly captures the ambiance of classic horror. In tribute to the simplicity of this still, I kept the artwork as minimal as possible. To contrast the near-black brushwork of the silhouette, I created a graphic background with my signature gradient banding in purple. Then I fit everything into an oval with a grainy vignette to sort of fuse vintage and modern into one look and tie it all together.
