"Fortress of Solitude" print release Monday 1/30

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...


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

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!

New print - "Jurassic Park"

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-

Shipping etc.

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!
