Show and Tell ; New matchbook miniatures for 2014

I submit, for your viewing pleasure, two new pulp matchbook drawings I recently completed:

Pay Now + Home Invasion.

Both of these works are direct commissions -meaning I worked one on one with collectors to create something they desired to see. You want something created with you in mind?? Contact me here Jasondaquino@hotmail.com. We'll make it happen. 

Happy 2014

Bound Requiem at Last Rites Gallery

Good friend and fellow artist Michael Mararian curated a pretty killer group show at Paul Booth's Last Rites Gallery in Manhattan, to coincide with Matt Dangler's solo exhibition, "Grace". The opening was December 14th. I was happy that I wasn't the only artist with somewhat offensive art on display, (although my custom bookmark did earn a few scowls).

All in fun kiddies.

There are some great shots of the opening on the flickr feed.

Katy got labeled "and guest"  ha-ha

Crazy 4 Cult Book Signing Event

December 15th -NYC

Jensen Karp (aka Hot Karl) certainly knows how to pack an art space. The Crazy 4 Cult Pop up exhibition on the Bowery was badass. There was some truly terrific art, and some incredible artists on hand for the meet and greet hullabaloo. The release party was for the hardcover book, Crazy 4 Cult : Cult Movie Art 2 but in the picture below I'm actually signing the first incarnation of the book, Crazy 4 Cult : Cult Movie Art, which also features my art.

Here are links to the works I created for the exhibition:

Walken + Einstein & The Doc

The 7-11 next door wouldn't let me pee. He said that they , "don't have a bathroom"-

Which is bullshit- There's no way that guy sells slim-jims and gummy worms all day and doesn't take a dump. But my bladder is strong, and many autographs were signed that day.

I also got to eat meatloaf at my grandma's house. It was good.

I Made Some Stuff

One of a Kind : brass and resin belt buckles available now on haughtee.com. They feature some of my original drawings. There are a limited supply available . . . once they are gone - they are gone. Sexy girl not included.

The original drawing Will be available for sale at Paul Booth's Last Rites Gallery for the "Bound Requiem" Exhibition.  The show runs from December 14th 2013 - January 18th 2014.  I'll be attending the opening on December 14th, if you're in NYC come check it out.
