One of the hazards of working on matchbooks is that they are flammable.
Amateur artists and may spontaneously combust if not properly supervised.
Shit Happens.
PS - Don't try imitating this at home. Only under professional supervision.
This one is going to Gallery 1988 for the upcoming 'Subtle Art of Pop-Culture'
10 year Anniversary show. The show opens April 11th....
I'm not the best at keeping up consistent correspondence, so for all of you who have asked about available matchbook miniature drawings…Here's a chance.
My dual matchbook portrait, "Great Minds" , is available for purchase.
The piece features a portrait of Einstein, and 'Back to the Future's Doc Emmet Brown, framed side by side, and displayed mounted upon a piece of antique , marbleized endpaper.
I submit, for your viewing pleasure, two new pulp matchbook drawings I recently completed:
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
