ANDREW W.K.
15”x40”, oil on canvas.
Bloodied tshirt with his signature white jeans and rock move of shoving the microphone down the front of his pants when he plays the piano.  
His initials AWK also spelled out at the bottom with the disconnected microphone wire and escaped electricity.
This painting is for sale.  And remember…Never Let Down (probably my favorite AWK song).

The original JKL Movie: The Movie unofficial poster painting without the bells and whistles.  26”x38” on illustration board.  Drew Struzan’s work was a huge inspiration.

Walter Peck, the notorious villain from the cult comedy Ghostbusters realized as a dart board for the Ghostbusters’ enjoyment.  Note each dart baring an initial from each of the Ghostbusters; Peter, Ray, Egon, Winston and Jenine.  Also note how each color coincides with the uniform color that character wore in The Real Ghostbusters.
Prints available upon request!
