San Diego Comic-con 2012 Art Show Preview

Another Comic-con is here!  I’ll be exhibiting 6-7 pieces at this year’s art show.

TRESPASSER (SPUTNIK DREAMS #1)

Trespasser (Sputnik Dreams #1) By Rob Dragan

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Canvas (unstretched)
Image Size: Approximately 12″ x 16″ (includes custom cut matte for 16″ x 20″ framing), Canvas Size: 14″ x 18″
Hand Signed

TRESPASSER is my first artwork in my Sputnik Dreams series.  Later this year, I’ll be producing a screen print of this painting.  This is your chance to own the original painting.

I’m not sure how someone can become bored with life.  Just look up at the stars and one will find a million questions to fill up a million lifetimes.  I am a space nut and love to think about stuff like this.  Thank goodness for the promise of private space travel offered by companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX.  Someday I may get my chance to become an astronaut for one perfect afternoon.

 

CYBORG HUD (Head-up Display) MIRROR

Cyborg HUD Mirror by Rob Dragan
Medium: One-color screen print.  Limited Edition on Blue Acrylic Mirror (2 of 5)
Image Size: Approximately 12″ x 16″
Hand Signed and Numbered
Edition Size: 5

Truly a first of its kind!  Due to circumstances beyond my control, this mirror may contain a few scratches.  (Note, it’s impossible to take a good picture of a mirror.)

WARNING: Do not stand in the center of this mirror.  I’m not sure what will happen and cannot be held accountable for any terminations.

 

KAIJU SAFARI PARK

Kaiju Safari Park by Rob Dragan
Medium: Hand stained and distressed wood
Image Size: Approximately 12″ x 24″
Hand Signed

KAIJU SAFARI PARK has been a labor of love and much frustration for me.  This is my first creation using wood (besides balsa wood).  The kaijus and text are cut out from a very thin sheet of wood.  Honestly, it will be bitter sweet to depart with this one.  It will look real good hanging on my wall, but instead it’s being offered to you to enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed designing it.

 

EXTINCTION SUCKS (T-REX EDITION)

Extinction Sucks By Rob Dragan
Medium: Acrylic Paint on Canvas (stretched)
Image Size: Approximately 9″ x 12″
Hand Signed

This was a fun one to paint. If T-Rex was alive today, what would he tell us?   For some reason I’m quite good at painting dinosaurs, so I figured it’s time to add this piece to my portfolio.  Caution: Don’t feed the dinosaurs.  They bite!

 

HEART OF METROPOLIS

Heart of Metropolis by Rob Dragan

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Canvas (stretched)
Image Size: Approximately 12″ x 16″
Hand Signed

This piece is from my Robot 5X series and what started my endeavor to publish my own art.  If you are fan of the movie Metropolis, please check out my limited edition screen print, Vitruvian Maria

 

FORBIDDEN SUMMER

Forbidden Summer by Rob Dragan

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Canvas (unprimed, stretched)
Image Size: Approximately 9″ x 12″
Hand Signed

“What’s a bathing suit?”  Continuing my Summer series, FORBIDDEN SUMMER explores the sexual undertones in “Forbidden Planet” (1956), one of the greatest classic sci-fi movies starring Anne Francis.

 

FLYNN’S VINEYARD

Flynn's Vineyard by Rob Dragan

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Canvas (stretched)
Image Size: Approximately 9″ x 12″
Hand Signed

My love for wine, vintage arcade games and sci-fi movies collide in this piece.  I’m not sure if 1982 was a good year for wine, but it was a stellar year for arcade games.  I ruled at Tron!  A screen print might be coming later this year.

Thanks for looking!
