Magic is Science
Magic is Science was an art collective that I began with two other artists (2010-2012). The purpose was to bring a pop-culture aware show to the Atlanta art scene. Gone were the pedantic shows of wine and cheese (we had beer and cookies). The number of artists grew, and so did the number of shows (and yes, we had a real magician).
Themes and subjects included Doctor Who, The NeverEnding Story, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, and retro video games. Pictured below are several of my own contributions to the shows.
Ambassadeurs: Tom Baker
Toulouse Lautrec's "Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant" as interpreted as the fourth Doctor, Tom Baker. The pen and ink illustration was scanned and the colored and textured in Adobe Photoshop.
Atreyu Action Figure
A major toy line was never created for The NeverEnding Story. Children from the '80s (and now) could not recreate their favorite scenes from this memorable/scarring childrens' movie: Falcor flying, Bastian screaming "Moonchild", Artax drowning, etc... What if there had been a toy line? The above creation was my submission into the "what ifs" of the past.
Auryn
The Auryn was printed and cut out using a standard hole punch. Gold string was then glued the back.
Kenner Style
Packaging design was based on the original Kenner Star Wars figures which debuted in 1977.
Repaint
The figure was a repainted 3 3/4" scale figure produced by Gabriel.
FREE Gmork
The Gmork give-away promo was visualized by using an image of a Chronicles of Narnia Wer-Wolf figure
