80's Movie Villain Cocktail Party


Here's a piece I did for the "Hey You Guys! Charity event December 5th at the Rialto Theater in Pasadena. Josh Pruett, (a killer story artist at DreamWorks) is putting the event together and it looks like it's going to be awesome. The theme is movies that inspired you as a kid, and they'll be screening a print of Ghostbusters! The art will all be auctioned off for Donors Choose.org This will go towards supplying needy classrooms with art supplies. You can go to the official site by clicking the link below. There will also be an opportunity to bid online if you can't make it to the event.

    1. Man...I recognize MOST of these! I almost wanna say the 4th from the right is Biff from Back to the Future but I am not 100% because is so vague in my head. And I love the inclusion of the Karate Kid villain. This is rockin' oldschool!

    42. You...are...a...GENIUS!! This is far and away one of the flat out coolest things I've seen in a long time! This brings back so many memories and I'm quite proud to say that I know them all. Your choices for who to include are fantastic and the caricatures/draftsmanship rock. Excellent work!
