One last release for 2014...

Hello all-  I'm finally back in the studio after being on the road for the past few weeks...so nice to be home. Tons of new stuff on the way, and it's been far too long since I've posted; hopefully I'll pick the pace up as we move into the new year. But today I'm posting to share some new release info so let's get to it...

I have one more official movie screenprint dropping in 2014, and it will debut later today (12/22) at slashfilm.com. This one is for a true classic, from a strange time when we had to look east to go west.. (I'll post more about the print after the official debut)

In other news: Still cleaning up some shipping stuff, and finally got in a bunch of Mondo APs... Dark Knight Returns, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Total Recall, so we'll do that sale soon.. maybe very soon...

New print for MondoCon; limited pre-sale tomorrow 9/12 at 3EST

Hey everyone- MondoCon is just over a week away and I'm getting everything ready to head down to Austin-- including a new themed art print for the con!

Anyone that knows me knows I worship Raiders. I've often lamented that I couldn't visit large recreations of the sets, walk inside and take pictures like a tourist. The environments were so perfect, but the film moves so quickly you barely get a chance to look around--  it sometimes seems like a great gallery where you wanted to stay for hours but are hastily ushered out the door before you were done ruminating on the beauty around you. This series seemed the best way to spend more time within those environments... until the Mouse builds an Indy theme park at least.

Where would we start the tour? The Map Room of course.


I'll have these prints at my booth at MondoCon (that's just a cropped tease above), but because I've had so many requests from just the twitter tease I'm also going to do a limited pre-sale for those that can't make it down to Austin. 

The pre-sale will be tomorrow, Friday Sept. 12 at 3EST.  Just come back here to the site and I'll make a new post at 3 with the full image preview, purchase buttons, print info etc. Don't be late!

Some new art print teases, and a personal note...

Hello friends- It's been too long since the last update! Hope you all have been well-- I've been stuck in my Hobbit hole drawing away for a bunch of new releases.

First up- I have 3 Mondo posters in progress; 2 are in production and one is already approved and waiting for a drop date (ok I lied I know already but can't say!). Also, I'll be making a trip down south soon to meet up with some friends.. hopefully I'll be able to announce those plans in the next few days. I'm also just finishing up a 4th licensed movie print for a new company, for one of my favorite films of the year.

What else? A themed art print for the 'Mythos' series curated by Arik Roper titled "The Symplegades" (mine's on the left on the gallery wall..watch Jason and the Argonauts if you don't know what the Clashing Rocks are!). I should have details about the North America sales of this one soon, I think they're only shipping in Asia at the moment? I'll find out and edit this.

More? The new Nature Guild art print is ready to go, and this one is a bit different...  I used a 40 yr old screenprint from one of my favorite artists as a starting point and then imagined what could have been surrounding that slice of environment, just off the page....not in the real world, but in the artist's mind... maybe it'll turn into a series. I was planning the sale later this week, although real life may thwart my plans (see below)

Anything left? Speaking of series: I'm planning to publish 2 new movie-themed art prints myself in the next few months: one the first in a 3 parter, the other is a dyptych that melds two different-but-same things. I hope that's confusing.

I'll update again this week--  feels good to be back. And as always, thanks for listening-- JC

AP SALE TOMORROW! Journey, SW sets, and a new Nature Guild print (plus some assort. archive goodies)

Hello friends-
Just wanted to let everyone know I'll be having an ONSALE tomorrow, Thursday 6/19 at 3PM EST.

I'lll be putting up JOURNEY APs, a few Archive APs (including a couple of Star Wars trilogy sets)  and some that I've never put up publicly... and last but not least I'll debut the new NATURE GUILD art print for those who have been waiting so patiently... back to the shoreline for this one..

How do you purchase? Just come back here to the blog tomorrow just refresh the page at 3PM EST;  I'll make a new post at sale time with all the purchase buttons, images etc. so you can shop.  Since I have very small numbers of APs, I'll do my best to  prevent overselling but may not be possible-if that happens I'll let everyone know ASAP.   I have very few of the Journey prints and other APs so don't be late!

Hope to see some of you back here Thursday at 3PM -JC

New work for Mondo: JURASSIC PARK OST Vinyl releases on sale June 11th (today!)

Hey all- 2nd post today!  Want to let you know Mondo just dropped their latest soundtrack offering, and I was honored to do one of the covers!

The JURASSIC PARK OST Vinyl LP releases just went on sale at Mondo- head on over to the website to purchase and learn more details..

Next up... JOURNEY / AP sale news!

"Fiery the Angels Fell" - new print for "Moments Lost": Blade Runner

Hello friends- A few quick posts for today-
First off is a late FYI:  I did a print for the "Moments Lost" Blade Runner show at Bottleneck Gallery.  There's still a few prints available so head over to their webstore to purchase.

"Fiery the Angels Fell" (10"x28") depicts the final scene on the rooftops, the moment Roy Batty chooses to save Deckard, while at the same time earning his 'humanity'. A great scene/film to revisit, one I probably could have drawn this from memory if I had to!


Also lots of other killer artwork in this event (and a wonderful 'alternate' OST vinyl designed by Killian Eng), I urge you to head on over to the website to check out the whole show.

"Sentries" shipping update, random project news..

Hello friends-

FOREST SENTRIES shipping update (5/20) - 
Shipping the last batch of Sentries orders out this week so if you're still waiting it'll be on it's way within the next couple days. Also, JOURNEY APs should be here any day; will let everyone know as soon as they arrive.-JC

Wanted to share a quick update on "The Forest Sentries"--printers are just finishing up, should have 'em back here in a few days. I'll quickly sign/number and tubes should start shipping by the weekend.

Also, many people (well, at least a dozen) have asked me if  'Sentries' marks the end of the series, or if there's plans to do something from the prequels- quick answer is 'no' to both.



(Here's a small tease of something else entirely)

Other current projects include a few Mondo things, the next Guild art print (which will debut as soon as I complete Sentries shipping next week), and a few other licensed movie poster things for some other guys. As always sorry for the vagueness- promise to share more when I get the OK! -JC

New Release - JOURNEY art print for SCEA & iam8bit


Hello friends!  Just a quick update to let you know about a new art print I recently completed for the incredible Sony PS game JOURNEY.

 The pre-sale is live  through iam8bit's webstore . It's a 7-color screenprint, limited to 200 and licensed by SCEA. If you've never heard of the game Journey, I highly encourage you to seek this one out, even if you don't play games often. Not only are the visuals jaw-dropping, but the gameplay doesn't follow typical patterns or cliches; instead, it unfolds more like a dream. I won't waste your time trying to explain it, as it's much better that you discover Journey on your own...


Regarding APs: Since I'm only getting a few artist copies for this release, the iam8bit store will most likely be the only place you purchase this one, sorry!

Other random print release news: New art print will to go up for sale early next week... I've been lurking in the shadows of a dark forest moon for this one.

Thanks all for listening-hope to see you back here early next week! Best-JC

New print for the Mondo / Oh My Disney Show: PETER PAN

Hello friends- just wanted to say a quick hello and share my submission for Mondo's  "Nothing's Impossible" Disney gallery show, which is opening later today (Friday, March 7th) at 3PM CST in Austin, TX. It will run until next week as part of SXSW.

I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to tackle the classic 1953 "Peter Pan"- I'm sure you're familiar with it, so I'll just get to the print info-


Walt Disney Presents "PETER PAN"

36"x12" screen print on dark blue paper; 12 screens
Listed credits include the 4 (credited) directors, Walt Disney/Producer, and Barrie with a "based on" story credit

There's so many memorable, iconic scenes in Peter Pan, but since I wanted to keep it to one large scale landscape-based layout I chose the 'first flight' sequence, simply because it's what always stuck with me most as a child. It's Peter at his superhero best- soaring over London, invisible in the night sky..leading the way to a cosmic trip through a wormhole to a strange non-spherical floating homeworld (well, that's how I framed it as a child).

Anyway, I stuck pretty close to canon on this one-- you'll notice the 'pirate ship' moon, and the second star to the right.. but some may not notice that Big Ben reads two different times on the visible faces. The reason? In my mind's eye this flight takes place soon after the Darling children and Peter land on one of the the second hands, and if you remember this resets the time from 8:05 to 8:15.

And yes I should have a small amount of copies to offer sometime next week; my sub members get first shot and then I'll put up what remains in a public sale soon after that.

Hope everyone in Austin enjoys the show opening reception tomorrow... I'll be stuck here in MA working away on the next one, so take pics and send me some.

(re: Last Rebel shipping- I've been hauling tubes to the PO all week, and should have the last domestic batches out soon.. if you're waiting, sorry they took so long to go out ; after massive delays in printing, I've finally finished handdoing flames/fire on 200 prints ugh.. if you have a question about your order please shoot me an email)

Quick shipping updates and some project news

Hello my friends- I wanted to share a quick update on the shipping on 'The Last Rebel' prints, and other random happenings at MCM HQ--

I've been anxious to start shipping "THE LAST REBEL' but of course they were misrouted and have taken their sweet time getting here... I've subdued my rage, and have now been assured they'll be in my hands by the end of the week; they'll immediately start shipping upon arrival. Thanks so for your patience; once I get all these shipped I can finally do the next art print release.

In other news: I've recently completed three new licensed screenprints- one for the Mondo Disney show (most screens I've ever used), a second for a video game title (in collaboration with iam8bit), and the third for a small series curated by one of my favorite artists, Arik Roper.. he's wrangled some unbeliveable talent from around the world for the series, can't wait to share more on that one in particular.

But that stuff is already in the can- looking forward, there's a few Mondo things (one being another one of those bucket list projects that's allow me to play in a world I never thought I'd get to visit), and more offical movie stuff for some other folks. As always, wish I could share more but I'd get in big trouble quick-
Finally, hope to start work on a private commission when I get a spare moment, a fun one but most likely the only one I'll be able to do this year.

Hope everything out there is going well with you all; I don't always get a chance to share as often as I'd like but I'm trying to change that as get some help here at the studio-  as always, if you have any questions about your specific order just want to say hi feel free to send me an email-
stay safe out there-JC

UPDATE- Onsale time change.. aka Murphy's Law Strikes Back!

Hello everybody-Looks like I'm going to have to postpone the new art print sale for 24 hours due to the entire power grid going down at the studio, at the most inconvenient time possible. Unfortunately I can't administer the sale on my phone, need my workstation for all the preview images, code etc..

Because I know many of you have moved around/changed schedules to make the sale, to accomodate you I'll put up a 'blind purchase' button in this post with the (previously posted) tiny preview jpg today at 3PM.
UPDATE 3:15- That's it for the preview sale.. . thanks so much everyone, had to take it down so we have something left for tomorrow! I'll put up the remaining stock at 3EST- cant wait to show you guys the whole scene...

I'll make an "official" sale page with all the final image/detail shots at the rescheduled onsale time of 3PM EST tomorrow, Friday 1/17

Again my humble apologies for the change in plans, it looks like Murphy's Law has struck back and won this round! Hopefully I will see you back here tomorrow at 3 EST - JC

New Art Print sale news, 'Pretty Things Float' APs, more project news...

Hello friends- Everyone made it through the holiday gauntlet in one piece? Good, let's get right to it.. I'm gearing up to get the monthly art print releases back up and running over here, it's been too long.

The new art print will drop this Thursday, Jan 16 @ 3:00PM EST. Actually, the next 2 Guild art prints are done! One is a continuation of an unofficial 'series', and the other harkens back to some older coastal nature scenes. Still deciding which one to release first... I feel a coin flip coming...

FYI If you haven't purchased before-- just visit the blog here on Thursday. I'll make a new post at the appointed sale time, complete with print details and purchase options. 

In other sale news, the Mondo "Pretty Things Float" APs have arrived, and I've been busy hand-finishing the lot of 'em.  Because of the origins of this image, I took the opportunity to add a few misc. subtle details by hand from the original piece that just weren't possible to translate through a screen. Each one becomes it's own little OG, which is nice  (FYI: I'm going to offer these to my subscription members first, and if there are any remaining I'll put them up later on in the week.)

Other Project News:
- Recently finished up 2 new Mondo things you should see in next few months, and also have a few addtl. licensed movie-related projects for other clients in progress.
- Just received corporate approval to go forward with an official art print for one of my favorite game titles. -There's a private commission waiting in the wings as well, hopefully I can start on that next month.
- Last but not least, I was asked by one of my favorite artists to be a part of a small group art series thing in February--this one is going to be fun, can't wait to share..

Per usual, I'll spill all the juicy details as soon as I'm able! Hope to see some of you back here on Thursday afternoon for the sale -JC
