A new one...

2012-02-21T17:19:00.018-05:00

Worked with Mondo for this promo poster for the upcoming Disney IMAX 3D release 'JOHN CARTER'.

A lot of people have been waiting a very long time for this film to get to the big screen-after all, it's been 100 years since Edgar Rice Burroughs began writing about John Carter's Mars adventures, and those stories laid the groundwork for many scifi and fantasy properties of the modern age (Star Wars, Avatar to name two biggies). Based on the designs I've seen so far, it looks to be quite an impressive and unique vision of Burrough's world.

Tried a completely different approach for this one, as the poster is meant to mimic those large-scale, fully blown out scifi art promos you'd get with your fast food kid's meal circa '79 (just missing the folds of course!). This image is heavily based on the more realistic, 'grounded' designs contained in the concept art for the film, as opposed to more fantastical interpretations by Frazetta and other illustrators who have largely defined the look of Burrough's Mars over the last century.

Shipping updates and misc. news

2012-02-07T04:38:00.004-05:00

Hello all-just a quick update on those waiting on JP and Fortress orders-

First batch shipped end of last week, but majority are shipping today and tomorrow. Sorry for the delay- usually like to get domestic orders earlier but a badly timed flu last week messed with my schedule (didn't want to ship you a nice virus with your print!). Regardless of what batch your print shipped in, if you're in the US you should have your print by week's end.

Other print/illustration news:

-Working on the biggest print (literally) I've ever done- this image will be unique in more ways than one.. playing in a world I never thought I'd get to visit
-Also just (finally) finished a poster for a childhood favorite- ironically the first thing I've drawn that really seemed to frighten my kids! That's some kind of twisted endorsement, right?

More specific news on these projects soon (and some art print stuff- remember those?)
thanks for listening--JC

"Fortress of Solitude" print release Monday 1/30

2012-01-29T18:34:00.008-05:00

Hi friends, let's keep the release train going- next up is "Fortress of Solitude."

PRINT DETAILS: 9-color screen print, 36"x12"- $95 (yes they are signed)

WHERE/WHEN: I'll put up a new blog post with 'Add to Cart' buttons on Monday, Jan. 30th at a random time in the afternoon (EST). Please don't ask when-I have very few available and I'm attempting to get through this with as few oversells/refunds as possible.

A little background on this one-

I felt very fortunate to get the opportunity to create this DC-licensed print for Mondo, and even more so since it involves the most iconic superhero of 'em all. Even though I knew the comics and enjoyed the cartoons & 50s TV series, my first real gateway to the Superman mythos was through the Richard Donner films. One of the first 'grown up' books I ever bought was a text-heavy Making of Superman: The Movie; I pored endlessly over the few black and white "behind the scenes" photos, made up mostly of shots of wire flying tests and carpenters building the massive Pinewood Studios sets.

The largest of these was the Fortress of Solitude, and it seemed the the greatest cathedral ever built. The film's crystalline design just felt more 'otherworldly' and exotic than previous comic book incarnations of the Fortress (with mountain cave and clunky keys) and much more like a piece of an alien landscape replicated in an Artic wasteland. This image is a direct homage to Donner's universe (quickly corrupted by the hack named Richard Lester); if there was a goal, it was to make it feel like a long-lost original piece of concept art for the '78 film.

As always, thanks for listening- hope to see some of you back here tomorrow afternoon for the sale.

Hitting the ground running...

2012-01-11T03:24:00.010-05:00

Hello friends, just wanted to throw up a quick post to say hello- things have been so crazy right off the bat in 2012 I haven't had time to properly share much of what's new...

Hope you all had a great new year so far; I'm well into the next poster project, one I've been kinda waiting to make for a few decades.. dammit it's fun. I promise a bigger update soon to share some more details about future (and past) projects and other misc. info.

FYI-My copies of Jurassic Park and Fortress of Solitude (which I haven't even talked about here!) have finally landed, but any sale info etc. will have to wait til next week- I appreciate you all hanging in there while I take care of some deadlines. Talk to you soon-JC

Holiday Onsale 2011 details...

2011-12-18T11:23:00.003-05:00

Hello friends,
Just wanted to drop a quick note about the onsale happening later today (Dec. 18) around 8PM EST.

I'll have some of the prints I did this year for Gallery 1988: the Hudsucker-themed Tidbits of Time (from Crazy4Cult) and A Thousand Years Wide (from Devil Town)- plus a few miscellaneous goodies I've dug out of the flatfile for the occasion. (sorry no Mondo stuff yet, those will have to wait until the new year)

Check back here at the onsale time- I'll make a new post with buy buttons etc. when the sale goes live. Thanks again everyone for all your support, hope to see some of you tonight!
-JC

Didn't know it was a Devil Town...

2011-11-29T09:49:00.000-05:00

This Friday at Gallery1988. Daniel Danger curating a group show. It's going to be really good. If you're close, you should go.

New print - "Jurassic Park"

2011-10-26T18:45:00.026-04:00

Hello friends-

Well I can finally spill the info on the next print - and it's the biggest one yet (literally)! I'm honored to be a part of the Jurassic Park series, brought to you by the fine folks at Mondo.

Mr. Horkey's take on the triumphant T-Rex in the first poster was so scary good that I wanted to go in a completely different direction to help showcase some other aspects of the movie that I (personally) found more compelling.

As exciting as some of the chase scenes are, I was always more impressed with the gentler, more awe-inspiring visual moments in the film. The 'scary monster on our heels' stuff was done before in countless movies, but the scenes that stuck with me were the fleeting moments between chases... characters could briefly reflect on their amazing surroundings and interact with these giants with sentiments other than 'RUN!' (That said, just had to include the Trex in there because let's face it- he's the hero of the flick).

Stay tuned to Mondo's site on Thursday, as the sale will happen at a random time (watch their twitter). There will also be a variant available without the titles/credits which will go up at the same time (don't ask which I like better, apples and oranges etc). If I do have any to sell later I'll let folks know through the mailing list etc.

As always, thanks for listening-
-JC

Shipping etc.

2011-10-04T03:28:00.002-04:00

Hi friends,

Just wanted to let the 'Sinful, Windborne' customers know that orders have started to trickle out. Wanted to thank you all for your extra patience on this one-- ran into some unexpected delays last week and wasn't able to ship as many as planned.

Still getting back on track but expect to have all the orders shipped out by the end of this week. If you still have a question about your individual order, please feel free to shoot me an email.

Can't thank you all enough for the support.. can't wait to share what's next!
-JC

Comatose, but still alive...

2011-09-19T05:25:00.009-04:00

Hello friends,
Lots of news to share soon, wanted to let you all know the Sinful, Windborne onsale will be later this week, I'll nail down a time asap. Right now I'm in the middle of a marathon painting session, adding details to the skies one by one... time consuming as hell but worth it imo.

Unlike the Walden print--where I left areas of the sky undefined so details could be painted in later--here I'm adding a bit of detail to the existing cloud layer. The basic layout won't change, but small patterns and details will vary from print to print.. hooray for uniqueness.

Why spend the extra time on each print? Quite simply- it just looks nicer, adding depth and some subtle shading to the clouds without having to dedicate a ton of colors to just that element... the only drawback is my hand quits after about 50, so shifts are necessary.

Should be done tomorrow, you'll be the first to know...

New Print - "We Keep Watch" for Novos

2011-07-29T10:44:00.001-04:00

Hello friends, just a quick update with some 'late notice' onsale news--

As some of you are aware, I recently completed a promotional print for the scifi short called 'Novos'.. I'm just the artist on this one, all the presales will be handled by the Novos store site. The prints will go up at 11am PST (2PM Eastern) on Friday, July 29th.

“We Keep Watch” is a 28″ x 12″, 10-color (with 2 fades) screenprint with an edition of 120. There are also Night and Mist variants with editions of 40.

This series is acting as a way to raise funds for Jonathan Brebner's sci-fi short 'Novos'. Go here to learn more about the project.

Crazy4Cult 5 print - 'Tidbits Of Time'

2011-07-08T10:29:00.034-04:00

Hello friends, here are some detail images of my piece for the Crazy4Cult 5 show at Gallery 1988. It's a 10-color screen print (with 2 fades), approx. 25.5"x15.5", edition of 95 (no variants were printed for this one).

This 'tidbit of time' shows the darkest moment for Norville Barnes, when the forces of greed and public shame begin to close in around him. All seems lost, until a noise from within the room breaks his concentration; suddenly he seems to forget the despair and pulls back from the brink, moving towards redemption and his second chance...

I consider The Hudsucker Proxy a severely underrated film, full of timeless themes such as good vs. evil, greed vs. passion and the eternal mortal struggle to make every moment count, especially when time itself seems pitted against you. ("Tidbits of Time" = the fictional newsreel title in the film).

In addition to being a great script, I've often thought it would make a fine stage production since many of the performances are deliberately exaggerated and even some of the sets look as if they were designed to resemble stage facades (seem to remember hearing about a Hudsucker college production?). There are a few additional characters joining Norville on this 'stage', with even Waring Hudsucker making an appearance.. sort of...

Crazy4Cult 5 - next week!

2011-07-01T16:56:00.006-04:00

Hello friends,

Been far too long since the last post- hope you've all been doing well and staying busy. After my extended 'working' hibernation, I've finally made my way up out of the dark lair and into the sunlight to share some news about upcoming events/prints.

I was honored to participate in the fifth Crazy4Cult group show at Gallery1988/LA. Opening night is next Friday, July 8, so get down there if you're close by. Judging from the few pieces I've seen so far, it's going to be worth the trip. (Check out some previews here.)

For my part, I tried to pick something that--while certainly not obscure--doesn't seem to enjoy the amount of respect/admiration it deserves. Crazy4Cult gave me the opportunity to get out of the woods for a bit, to a much different setting. Hopefully I'll have a few copies to sell after here after the show as well.

Other upcoming print news:

"Sinful, Windborne" will be released later this month, I'll let everyone know the exact details via the mailing list. Also plan on ramping up production a bit for the latter half of the year, so the next print should follow close on its heels.
That's all for now, until next week..
-JC

Shipping etc.

2011-05-10T23:37:00.014-04:00

Hello friends,

Wanted to give everyone a fulfillment update on the Walden/art print orders: After a few marathon sessions, hands are aching, but finishing and titles are done...

Update 5/17: All but a few stragglers have shipped (no notices go out unless requested), everyone in the US should have their prints by the end of the week.

*Also added a comparison pic to illustrate the differences between the show and art print sky details. The left one is the finished show version (one color clouds), and on the right is the art print with a second layer of lighter details added.

That's all for now, can't thank you enough for the support-JC

A few random prints at a random time...

2011-05-06T16:16:00.004-04:00

All gone, thanks everyone

Walden Onsale Today!

2011-05-06T07:47:00.011-04:00

Hello friends,
The onsale for the remaining Walden prints is happening today, Friday, May 6th (sometime after noon EST). I'll make a new post with active paypal buttons at the time of the sale. See you then.-JC

*Contrary to info in the mailing list update, I decided to skip the separate shipping buttons this time.

Shipping will be a flat $6 (for international as well) and will be added automatically... much easier for everyone, life is stressful enough without extra mouse clickin'...

Some detail pics:

If your circles could be spirals, and your idols weren't machines...

2011-05-02T22:10:00.035-04:00

I've been asked many times to do 'sequels' of certain prints (which is nice, since it means some of you actually notice the small "snapshot" character narratives I try to stick in there). 'Case for Sea Monsters' is mentioned most often in this scenario; after all, those two people have a nice boat, a serious sense of adventure and lots of free time on their hands (assuming the humpbacks didn't drag 'em down). It seems natural to ask, 'where else have they been?'

Since I was just as curious as anyone, thought it would be fun to check back in with the globe-trotting couple. The new print is titled Sinful, Windborne and this time, she goes first..

I'm also trying to honor requests for some smaller, 'standard-sized' prints, in order to make framing a less expensive proposition (can't promise they'll all be that way!) Size/color info on this one soon.-JC

A quick update...

2011-05-02T02:27:00.003-04:00

Hello friends-
I can finally say that my remaining Walden prints are arriving soon! I'll plan on putting them up sometime after noon EST on FRIDAY May 6th (yes it was originally Thursday, but had to change it!)

Please check back later for more details, including my own pics of the actual printed matter.

Until then...
-JC

This is no ode to dejection...

"Required Reading" Show Opening - Tonight!

2011-04-15T15:48:00.002-04:00

As some of you may have read, I contributed a new print to the 'Required Reading' group show at Gallery1988 in Los Angeles. The opening reception is happening tonight, Friday April 15th at the gallery's Melrose location. The show is co-curated by Mitch Putnam of OMGPosters and (recent Grammy winner!) Rob Jones. The theme is classic novels and judging from what I've seen so far, it's going to be an excellent show.

Which novel did I end up with? Didn't want to spoil the surprise, but here's an early rough sketch if you want to guess. It's a book I revisit often--as well as quote in my head on a daily basis--so it was a true pleasure to be able to work on it.

For those that can't be at the opening, the gallery puts up anything that's left up on their site the day after the show. I'll also have a very limited number of prints available at microcosmicmedia.com sometime after that.

Spring Thaw

2011-03-29T13:35:00.003-04:00

Hello friends-
Just coming out of hibernation to let everyone know we're alive and kicking..

What's new? Well, got a new screen print going in an upcoming show at gallery1988 in April; this one has been kept really quiet but I think a lot of people will dig the theme of the show, and hopefully the print itself. Of course I'll post more info when I have it.

Also, putting the finishing touches on the next microcosmicmedia release. To counter the insane amount of colors used for the show print mentioned above, I simplified things a bit for this one-- it was going to be one thing until it became another. Sometimes simple is best.

More to come soon-JC

Come rain, come snow, come hail or sleet...

2011-02-03T10:14:00.008-05:00

The old mailman creed seems appropriate this week, as today makes 2 straight weeks of shoveling and ice chopping without a day off... even the snowblower seemed to roll its 'eyes' at me this morning as if to say, "Really, again?"

Wanted to let everyone know that last sale's orders started shipping, moving as fast as possible without damaging stuff.. I really appreciate your patience, hadn't planned everything selling out so quickly/having to ship so many tubes at once! If you have a question about your individual order, you can always shoot me a message.

UPDATE 2/15 - Just a handful of orders left to ship, getting all that remains out this week. My apologies to those who are still waiting, the upside is that a longer wait usually means an extra hbill or two makes it in the tube..

Anyway, hope you are all staying warm and enjoying some winter fun.
Here's a cool handbill I didn't get to show during the sale (around 12in)..this one's all about the wolf.. -JC

As with all screen prints, some colors/fades may appear slightly different than the examples pictured, it adds to the uniqueness of each print as no two are exactly alike.

I do try to monitor stuff in real-time but can't be here every minute, so don't panic if something doesn't go as planned, just email me and we'll take care of it..

Details, details...

2011-01-26T02:02:00.017-05:00

Here's some more detailed pics of "Sleeping In Light"
Hope to see all of you later this afternoon (Wed. the 26th) for the onsale. I'll make a new post here with 'BUY NOW' buttons for purchase when it's available:

Digging out some info.. and the driveway... and the sidewalk....

2011-01-21T00:47:00.023-05:00

Hello friends.. well, another day, another blizzard. The new year has brought snow, ice, rain.. the flu--everything that makes winter in New England so exciting. Not thrilled that I'm still running behind (due largely to the ravages of the season previously mentioned), but at least I can share the date for the next release:

"Sleeping In Light" will go up for sale Wednesday, Jan. 26th (sometime after noon EST).

I'll post some better (larger) images of the print/detail before the sale date.

In other news:
The microcosmicmedia mailing list is finally live! Sign up for notifications about future releases and pertinent print news. Won't promise a ton of updates, only when I have something relatively important to share...but that's a good thing, right? I don't enjoy people filling my inbox with every little thought in their heads and assume other folks don't as well (if you want off the list at anytime, just follow the unsubscribe link or contact me and I'll do it manually).

Almost done with the artwork for next month's print; hopefully we can keep this ball rolling in 2011 with more regular print releases. Hope to see you next week, thanks everyone -JC

The end of the beginning

2010-12-31T02:13:00.000-05:00

Have a great NYE everyone... can't thank you enough for all the support this year. Stay safe (and warm)... see you all in 2011.

Holiday Onsale is at an end...

2010-12-13T16:16:00.016-05:00

Update 12/20 - Thanks to everyone who ordered, closing the 'store' up to take stock.. should have at least some left over when the new one goes on sale in 2011.

*SHIPPING: 99% of orders have shipped- anything ordered late today I'll get out tomorrow, should still make it for the 24th.

Again, thanks for the support everyone-JC

Some onsale news, and a look at the new print...

2010-12-06T13:32:00.082-05:00

As promised, here's a look at the new print, titled "Sleeping In Light":

This image was created to make good on a promise made long ago to fill a specific spot on a friend's wall inside a tiny cabin, sitting on a remote lake much like this one. My thoughts of the place are most often of the late Autumn mornings on the water, when silence and loneliness seem to invade the valley. Even the stubborn oaks have finally been stripped bare by the wind, the pines have thinned, and the hard frost begins to take hold. The entire world seems on the edge of sleep, just waiting for the ice to come glaze everything over.

Although I prefer to post pics of the actual print, I've already made some of you patient souls wait far too long to get a look (minor elements/colors may change a bit during printing).
I'll make a loud announcement when it'll be available, and post a photo of the actual print asap

********
The second bit of news:

Onsale Time/Date Change! Was going to try to do it Friday afternoon, but a scheduling hassle has thwarted my plans, so... I'll put paypal buttons back up for a 'Holiday' onsale this Monday, Dec. 13th at a random time (most likely in the afternoon EST.) I'm down to just a couple copies of Sea Monsters, so I may just do a lottery to avoid overselling.

*Please note I won't have the new print above for sale at this time ("Sleeping In Light" will be the first print of 2011), but I still wanted to give those who asked a chance to purchase remaining copies of the older prints.

There will be one 'newer' print available--the golf-themed "The Fewest Things" mini print (see header image), and maybe an uncut sheet as well.

********
Also of note:

Been busy getting everything ready for a more productive 2011. Currently the plan is to do at least one screen print per month next year, and I WILL get a mailing list up by the end of the month so I can keep everyone appraised of the new releases.

In related news:
To all who have asked about subscriptions: still considering a few options on that front, I really want to be sure I can handle the production demands before I offer any 'print sub' options.

That's all for now... as always, thanks for listening.-JC

Shipping FYI

2010-09-15T12:51:00.009-04:00

**Shipping FYI: Anyone who is still waiting on an overseas shipment--a few have gone missing/are taking forever. I do have replacements held back, just awaiting confirmation that everyone has received what they paid for before the rest go up.

If you haven't received your tube in the next couple of weeks, shoot me an email and I'll check on your individual order. Thanks everyone.

Fulfillment Inc.

2010-08-11T02:12:00.026-04:00

Hi guys, just finishing up editioning/titles, hbill trimming etc...*edit 8/18- last batch shipped today, so besides a couple of stragglers everyone in the US should have 'em by the end of the week ..my poor thumb thanks you for your patience.

**UPDATE: Took the 'BUY' buttons down for a count, thanks so much everyone who purchased today.. I'm overwhelmed by the response and so grateful for the support.

Also, please allow at least 2 weeks for shipping (obviously overseas it'll take longer depending on location). I'm a one-man show and like to take some care in hand-doing titles, s/n, packing etc... again, thank you so much for the support everyone!

Here we go...

I'll be putting the new stuff up for sale tomorrow, Thursday July 29 (probably sometime after noon EST).

Just watch the blog, I'll add a new post with 'buy' buttons etc., probably sometime after noon EST. Hope to see you then-JC

The Case for Sea Monsters - new print

2010-07-26T21:56:00.026-04:00

Here's a chance meeting of Plurigibbosus Novae-Angliae beneath the sunset.. or is the light growing?

Really doesn't matter, it's the same time inbetween, when the sun plays tricks on the eyes... moments when imagination wrestles with intellect, and often wins. The time when ancient tales and legends can seem so real, so close, you can almost reach out and touch them...

Note: I take no responsibility for any injuries and/or damages arising from swimming with sea monsters.

Last In A Line - new print

2010-07-26T12:59:00.031-04:00

Hot enough for ya? Yeah, here too. Thought it was the perfect time for a nice snowy, winter-themed print to help cool off... just click on the image above for a larger view.

Because this scene was created specifically to print at the same time with another image, I was strictly limited to the same 5-color palette the previous image used. Sometimes it's a good exercise to be forced into being as creative as possible within strict confines of color or theme, etc.; it can help remind you that just a few colors is often all that's necessary. And now, of course, I can't decide which image I like better.

Keep an eye out for another (smaller) image from this landscape, for those among you who actually use golf courses to golf...

It's About Time...

Well damn.. that was way too long to be out of touch, my apologies.

Aiming to have 2 new prints up for sale in the next week or so, maybe with some other assorted smaller 'stuff'.

Of course, I'll post updates here and at expressobeans.com for all who have inquired. I'll most likely put the remaining copies of "The Way of the World" print up at the same time. Combined shipping is nice, no?

More news on all this very soon.. until then, take a sneak peek at an uncut sheet.

While I'm at it...
