Ask Me Anything #54

It's the first Monday of the month which means it is time for "Ask Me Anything", giving you the opportunity to find out anything you may have been curious about concerning my work, inspiration, last meal, last movie, summer reading list, or anything at all. 
Questions can be posted in the comments section below, and I'll either answer them there, or in a separate post sometime later in the month.
I've been asked a lot of good, thought provoking questions in the past as well as some really banal ones, all of which I tried to answer. You can see the previous questions by visiting Ask Me Anything  #1, #2 ,  #3, #4, #5, #6 , #7 , #8, #9,  #10,  #11,  #12 , #13, #14,  #15 , #16, #17 , #18 , #19,  #20,  #21, #22,  #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42,  #43, #44, #45,  #46, #47,  #48, #49,  #50,  #51, #52 and #53.

Opening Tonight

Opening tonight at Creature Features in Burbank, CA.


More Aliens art by me can be found here.

LV-426 Art

Here's a look at my piece for the LV-426 show at Creature Features which opens tomorrow night. Having recently done a pair of pieces based on Aliens, and having already tackled Alien , I decided to do something for Alien3. I also tried a different approach, closer to traditional collage thinking that would speed up the process for this piece I needed to do in a a single day. I'm not sure if it's as successful as I would have liked it to be, but everything is a learning experience, and I'm glad I tried it and tackled the third Alien film.
