Space Ace Kimberly finished print

I ended up changing the print a bit to pic colors that printed and looked really awesome.  Some of the stuff I concepted was a little out of the realm of possible print colors and kinda hurt my eyes after a while.

If you really have to have one, and you probably do - you can find her here - http://www.ltdartgallery.com/product/kimmy-borf-space-age-by-andrew-wilson-giclee-print-11-x-14

I did a really small print run because Kimmie is kinda niche. You know?  Space Ace is so unashamedly 80s (which is why I love it, as well as all the Don Bluth stuff ever! <3 br="">

Hope you dig.

cheers,

Bottleneck Gallery's 3nes show pieces, Mario, Zelda, and Metroid stacking dolls

HOW MANY TIMES CAN I DRAW THESE FOOLS FROM OLDSCHOOL NINTENDO?

I make pieces like this all the time.

I try to do it a little differently each time.  You know, grow a bit?  Well here are a set of prints available at Bottleneck.

It's ganon again! Againon?

Also, several news sites have been re-posting my work, which is awesome! But my last name is Wilson, not Fourthwish.  Although that would be really cool, I have to interject. Thanks for the coverage.

I love me some Matryoshka dolls.  It's been suggested that I should actually make these.  MAYBE I WILL! I'll show you!

Series Boo prints, another round of puns.

Alternatively, if you're a new fan of my work, some older piece can be purchased at that same gallery here:
http://www.ltdartgallery.com/products?search=andrew+wilson&search-submit=

These are a few of my favorites, although I'm saving the best for last.

And if you haven't read back through my blog, I don't want to be one of those rip-off artists.  It bears mentioning that these are all based on fairly obvious popular characters.  They're pun combinations of Boo from Mario Bros.  In SMB he was originally called Boo Didley (a nice pun) by the way.  Well, I saw Mike Mitchell's Super Series and love the silhouette concept and wanted to add my spin by doing silly pun combinations. 

Also, I appreciate kind words, so don't be scurred to say that at me in the comments.  This blog has been a ghost town lately!

Metryoshka Dolls, if you will

Metroid inspired artwork for an upcoming show at the Bottleneck Gallery.  We've got lil zero suit Samus, the power suit, and the Metroid ship - IDK what she's claled.

I also tacked super mario brothers and zelda as a set of stacking dolls.  I'll post them up once the show goes live or the gallery pops the pics up with links to purchase if you're interested.

Boo! It's that time of the year again.

There's an upcoming art show.  If you're in the Seattle area or going to PAX, you kinda need to go to this
Aug 30th
7pm 
307 E Pike S t

At the LTD art gallery just blocks from where PAX is being held.

It's a video game art show and I illustrated my second set of bad puns.  Series Boo.  They're all based on the ghost character from Super Mario Brothers.  SMB has the best characters and Boo Didley (as he was originally called) is a really nice base for variation in the Super Mario Bros. world.  A nice round shape with a pink tongue and little flippers.  What's not to love?

Here are the 'base models' for the illustrations I did.  I'll be posting them throughout the next 10 days every once in a while, which is way WAY more frequently than I've been posting for some time.

A more shy version of the same Boo with one of the mushrooms that makes you larger

Wonder Women Puns

Here are a few of the designs available in the blind series.

Pick up a few packs at the LTD shop and make sure to let me know which ones you liked.
http://www.ltdartgallery.com/product/punder-woman-series-by-andrew-wilson-blind-pack

Default Wonder Woman.  This is the base pose I painted on to make the others.

Punker Woman, a more rare one.  I wanted to paint a mowhawk.  Doesn't everybody?

Chunder Woman.  Yes.  She's upchucking a rainbow.  I'm pretty sure girls are made out of rainbows, so it's appropriate.

Thanks for taking a look.  I'll keep posting Punder Women until I'm done, but should the concept take off, I'd love to keep painting more and more.   Do share the LTD shop link with your Wonder Woman fan friends, and I'll keep you up to date on whether a series two is in the cards.

Wonder Women art. Pondering purchasing a print, people? Please procede.

Punder Women.
http://www.ltdartgallery.com/product/punder-woman-series-by-andrew-wilson-blind-pack 

I did my two favorite things at once : made puns and painted colorful pinup art.  And who's benefiting from this? You are.  Because prints are for sale.

They're blind packs.  I got the idea from Mike Mitchell and his Super Series + blind box toys.

I'll drop images of the different possibilities in on my blog/tumblr next week. 

Please share the art, because well, if it doesn't sell well enough for me to make more, I won't.  And I have about 200 concepts written down including doing more characters like Cat Woman, Super Woman, and Harley Quinn.  Hell, I may even take suggestions for puns.

Prints are 8x10.  More deets are listed at the LTD art gallery site.

Buy 'em here:

Wonder women was a really good opportunity for me to push my pun agenda.  I tried to paint them all cute with a little bit of sexy and a little bit of grotesque, because it's fun that way.  I cranked the saturation all the way up.

Thanks for stopping by and reading.

MegaMan Legends Bon Bonne art

I painted this piece for the MegaMan boss battles online art jam. 

Bon Bonne is a rad design.  I wanted to do the whole Bonne family but other artists snagged the other bits ya know.  I wanted to capitalize on the simplicity of his shapes and an interesting silhouette.  He's like a big baby, which is great.

Reblog the post on my tumblr:

Or you can peep it on the site where MegaMan boss battles lives.

TMNT April Oneil piece without any Ninja Turtles in it.

WAT you say? A painting of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles without any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Yes. I did do that thing that I said up there.

The thing is, I LOVE the 1980s version of the Turtles with all the toys and colors and weirdness.  The kid's cartoon was just awesome with that theme song and all the crazy ass characters.  <3 br="br" much.="much." so="so">

I haven't painted a pinup piece in two minutes, and I do love boobies so.  I went with April plus references to all of the things I love:

Checklist of awesome:
Baxter Stockman (as a little fly)
Bebop
Rocksteady
Krang
Shredder
Michaelangelo
Donatello
Raphael
Leonardo (their headbands and weapons)
Mousers
Usagi Yojimbo (due to to his crossover)
The foot clan
Splinter
The turtle van
Pizza
April O'neil
The ooze
and an anonymous pre-adolescent turtle.

I even threw in those cheesy Back to the Future glasses from the 80s - the ones that you could buy from Pizza Hut.  Do you remember those? Yeah, they're on Bebop.

It's all in there - plus you get to see April as a big head cartoon chibi with her tits hanging out and far as I can make them without being a complete perv.  Dare I say it is a good day to be a turtle fan.

&rew's Mad Monster Party art show

Phillip Graffham at Van Eaton galleries in So. Cal recently curated a show for the release of Mad Monster Party which recently came out on Blu-Ray and a book was released.

I've heard of the gallery before - they sell some really cool animation related art, so I was glad to dedicate some time to a piece.

I bought the Blu-Ray, watched it, and repainted my favorite scene.  I tried to star super close to the original with a few twists of my own.  I don't want it to be a total rip of the movie, but the designs were so amazing that I had no choice but to follow it closely.

It's also Halloween feeling so it works perfectly with the season.

The result is the following painting.

The piece is entitled "I Don Juan to look at you."  It's a quote from the movie.

I painted under the pseudonym "Andrew Wilson".  Oh wait... that's my real name.  Well, the artwork is sold, so I can't offer it to anyone, but if you'd like to see the other available pieces, follow the links! There are some really good pieces including sculpture, collage, and Drake Brodahl!  Good stuff.

Mad Monster Party

Dear Humans,

Phillip Graffham is curating a show at Van Eaton galleries in LA.  He invited me to do a piece based on a Rankin Bass movie called Mad Monster Party.

I'd never seen it, but I Blu-Rayed it and peeped it on mah big screen.

It's BEAUTIFUL.  Character designs are tits.  I mean that in a few ways...

Story was well, era appropriately slow, but it's really fun to watch.  Stop motion is a blast and I love the creepy yet happy looking characters in those sorts of movies.  Everybody remembers the Christmas one, but this one is also pretty hotness.

I'll post up a preview now and drop the piece after the show commences.

Princess Peach (Birth of Venus) painting is done and prints are up.

The art show was AWESOME.  Thank you to all the artists who participated.  So many awesome video game pieces.

Here's the finish on my Princess Peach Birth of Venus Botticelli rip.

It's Peach popping out of a 3Ds, the original I sold at the show has a transparent layer with some clothing draped over the figures so it's more safe for work. (^__^)  I really really like how it came out.  Email me if you took pics, because I was a dolt and did not do such.

Crazy 4 Cult 6 - 1988 piece

The piece is up for purchase.

http://nineteeneightyeight.com/products/andrew-wilson-1988-print

This is a print available at the Crazy 4 Cult show in NYC right now from Jensen's Gallery 1988.

Please spread the word around,  I would love to make a few dollars of this labor of love.  Although, to be honest, if it doesn't sell, I couldn't care less because I made this thing for me/people like me.  You, if you're a child of the 80s or love any of these classics.

If you can't see the TLC that went in, then you're blind.  So if you like it, pick one up from G1988.  They're signed, stamped, and numbered to 50.  That's all there will ever be. (^__^)

The title of the piece is 1988.

I think I mentioned before that if you don't know why this is titled 1988, then you aren't even on my radar.
 
These are all classics that I've loved since the first time I saw them.  Baron Munchausen is in my frequently watched rotation.  And Akira - used to be teh hotness, but I know so many cartoons have borrowed or stolen from it that it doesn't seem unqiue.   Back then, to see Tetsuo and Kaneda engaged in battle was awesome - all the weird organic tech with the oozing stuff here and there.


Akira was one of those awesome cyberpunk inspiration pieces that is now a cliche but I think if you watched it you wouldn't be disappointed.  Anime does tend to be choppy - I love it, but I can acknowledge the frame skips or recycled animation.  Akira is a little less of that - it's a pretty high quality flick.  Good movie.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit - The weasels, baby Herman, that awesome cartoon gun... JESSICA'S PROPORTIONS.  All of those toons were dope.  I had to pay tribute.  I know it's all super deformed but I hope some of the goodness comes across.  Seriously people - Jessica's rack.  Dudes that think cartoons are for kids still take a second look when she's strutting around in glittery purple and singing "Get outa town" or whatever the hell she was saying.

Baron Munchausen is one of Gilliam's greats (to me) I've heard/read that it wasn't so critically acclaimed, but those critics are as dumb as sack of potatoes. There is so much imagination and actualized practical effects that you can't help but love some of the thing.  The score is super.  The actors are perfect characters - hell, even STING is in the movie.  Seriously - small cameo.  Robin Williams, Oliver Reed, Uma Thurman? Check.

I always loved how that movie is a giant metaphor for how important art and creativity are over logic and reason.  (Healthy doses of both do you good) but it's a very strong artistic statement about the power of imagination.

Maybe I'm reading too deep, but I love it.

Beetlejuice.

'Nuff said.

Woot - front page on the LTD site.

I just noticed I'm on the front page of the LTD gallery's site.  It's been an online spot for art for a while, but that's the walk-in gallery I've been showing at that opened up a Seattle.

With all the good art they have on their site, I'm honored to be up and visible.

Prints of the Avengers Unite piece are still available at:
http://www.ltdartgallery.com/product/avengers-unite-by-andrew-wilson-paper-12-x-16
 
If you live near Seattle it's a cool place to stop by.  I can't stress enough how much I support it because it's one of the few low brow art shops around.  Roq La Rue is another great place but it's on the higher priced spectrum with less pop culture and more $$$$$$ pieces.

Sleeping Beauty/Fairytale art show

I did two fairy tale prints for the acidfree gallery.  TBH - i think this started the year off right.  I need to start doing full illustrations to grow as an artist. Remember this year's mantra?

NO SH_TTY PAINTINGS THIS YEAR.

Let's do some GOOD art for a change.  Say it with me:
"I will stop flooding the internet with trashy bad art."

These two piece were very difficult for me, but I hope to follow them up with a strong year o fart. (See wat I did there? Kept it classy.)

Sleeping Beauty (Aurora) is hot and all, but I'd totally do Maleficent.

Here's a link to the Sleeping Beauty print:

H_ly Sh_t!

"Someone Who Hates Ryon!" just dropped a comment that made me realize today is the 6th birthday of this mother f_cker.

I've been loyally posting my sh_tty art on the web for around 6 years and over 700 posts.  If you haven't before, I suppose now would be a great day to cycle back through the annals of time.

I also feel that I should post some good art.  Lucky for us, I have some.  This year is my year to start doing good art and I poured allot of energy into this painting.  It's for an online gallery show called "Fables and Fairy Tales". Art will go on sale March 30th at the Acidfree Gallery site: www.AcidfreeGallery.com

Prints will be up - edition size of 40 to 100.  I'm not exactly sure yet how many we'll be dropping.  I'm thinking less, because less is more.

Star Wars art show (Han Solo and a stormtrooper)

Preview of pieces I did for the upcoming show in Seattle called "These are the droids you're looking for" and it's all Star Wars art. ¿Cool yes? How I love low brow art.




It's tomorrow night from 6-10. I'll be there around 8:30.

Hand Solo in "Han SoLoL" and a Storm Trooper in "Rainstorm Trooper" (I reffed the Morton Salt girl for this if you couldn't tell. AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL).

They're both ink washes. I'll post big versions after the show goes live. So you'll have to deal with the low rez 1990 sized jpegs for now. (^__^) 640x 480 is soooo played out.
