WATERWORLD PINS AND FRIGHT NIGHT BUTTON SET!

So, 2020 has been a upside down year for us all and my productivity has taken a hit over the course of the passing months. However, I have targeted some dream projects and my two most recent explorations are now available in my SHOP.

First up, our my limited edition WATERWORLD inspired “The Mariner” soft enamel pins! I’m a huge fan of the Kevin Reynolds directed Kevin Costner starring Post Apocalyptic Water Adventure WATERWORLD. It has confirmed its place in my heart as a true cult classic! I designed a regular colorway and fully submerged DEEP DIVE variant colorway. Both are extremely limited runs. Below are some images of the pins with a brief description:

“The Mariner Limited Edition Soft Enamel Pin by Nathan Anderson | NAARRT inspired by Waterworld (1995) directed by Kevin Reynolds and starring Kevin Costner! Soft Enamel Pin measures 2” inches and features a six color design with Black Dyed Metal finish and two Aqua Blue rubber clutches. Limited Edition to only 100 pieces. The pin comes poly bagged and features exclusive artwork card numbered and designed by the artist. $12.00 each”

NEXT UP, I designed a vintage style FOUR BUTTON SET based on my four original FRIGHT NIGHT illustrations. I wanted to create these because I used to collect these classic metal buttons and I thought they felt so right for honoring the first two Fright Night movies. You will get four designs on a custom cardback. Check out the images below with a brief description:

“FRIGHT NIGHT Four Button Collection. Set includes (4) 2” designs. Each Vampire portrait is inspired from the 1985 classic Fright Night and 1998's Fright Night 2. Each set comes with a collectable backing card and standard Button pinback.

Jerry Dandridge
Regine Dandridge
Vamp Amy
Evil Ed

Natural Cannabis Company and Juztapoz Magazine High Art Creative Contest Submission.

I created an original illustration for this year's High Art 2018 Cannabis Creative Contest. The theme was "Freedom" and also a underlining theme of cannabis as a muse. 

My piece "Mary Jane Above The City" was created as a traditional drawing and then brought back in to Photoshop to add textures and color. The final image is something I'm certainly proud of and I feel captures the two themes set forth by the contest.

A blurb about my piece here: "For my piece I wanted to explore the theme of "Freedom" from the perspective of a city dweller who uses cannabis to free themselves from the stresses and trappings of urban life."

Here is more info about the contest: HIGH ART 2018

Spawn 25th Anniversary Art Tribute (Hyaena Gallery) and 31st Anniversary Drawing Show (La Luz De Jesus Gallery)

Hey guys, 

November into December has been a busy month for me. I've been creating new artwork at a breakneck pace for shows both this month (December 2017) and beyond into the new year! I'm so excited to share new teases and WIP's soon for those upcoming shows. But for the shows that are currently up, here are all the details:

Chogrin presents: A group art show in tribute to 25 years of Todd McFarlane’s Spawn.Todd McFarlane and his Image Comics partners revolutionized the comic book industry back in the early 90s. That revolution still runs strong today, giving artists & creator’s a chance to express and own their vision without having to sacrifice it to a larger corporate entity. Todd McFarlane has inspired a whole generation of artists to think outside the box and push their talents to new and creative mediums.

SEE the art here at the official TUMBLR site.

To PURCHASE artwork from the show go here to HYAENA GALLERY. 

Here is a look at my "Spawn 25 Years" piece before I get it up in the PORTFOLIO section. Also great press for the show via i09.com. READ THE ARTICLE here.

And lastly I'm so pleased to have been invited to La Luz De Jesus Gallery's 31st Anniversary Drawing Show. Their famous year end show features some top brass in illustration, including Chris Mars, Joe Coleman and Renée French to name a few. Check out all the details here:

31st Anniversary Drawing Show
Exhibition: December 1-31
Reception: Fri. Dec. 1, 8-11 PM

2017 is our 31st year of continuous, monthly exhibitions.

Think about that: La Luz de Jesus Gallery is 31 years old!

Some of the artists in this show weren’t even born yet when Billy Shire decided to clear out the storage apartment at the corner of Melrose and Martel, upstairs from his flagship Soap Plant shop with marked purpose. His vision: to showcase the incredible, ethnic folk art he brought back from Mexico, Guatemala, and museum quality pieces from Asia and elsewhere alongside that of his talented friends–people who were finding a hard time being taken seriously by the art establishment of the era in spite of their technical prowess. His experiment has spawned a legacy. The renewed interest in illustration art resultant from his gallery’s success influenced the zeitgeist, and launched industries. The lowbrow movement of California Art (which in turn informed the Pop Surrealists that followed) influenced fashion, television, film and culture. The rest, as they say, is history.

The 31st Anniversary Drawing Show is an invitational event that traces the history of Post-Pop in its birthplace.

We chose from the best illustrators featured in the 31 year history of La Luz de Jesus to create a new, original drawing for this show, allowing us to trace a line all the way from Robert Williams to Annie Owens.

Since this is a drawing show, the work will be graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, ink or ballpoint pen, watercolor and/or gouache on paper. Whatever the preferred technique, the dominant medium of expression will classify the work as a drawing.

Crazy4Cult 11 and 31st Annual Drawing Exhibition at La Luz De Jesus Gallery.

Hey guys, I will have two upcoming and exciting shows! I will be debut two new pins for Gallery1988's annual Crazy4Cult group art show. Opening Reception will be from 7-10pm on Friday, November 17th, 2017.  For more Info: Gallery1988

And on December 1st, 2017 I am honored to be asked to create a piece for the amazing (Now 31st annual!) Drawing Show at La Luz De Jesus Gallery in Los Feliz.  Stay tuned for online previews coming this month. For more info: La Luz De Jesus

16×20″ or smaller before framing.

The last time we embarked on something this ambitious was for our 25th anniversary book project back in 2011. The last six years have been particularly fertile and we expect this show will close out the year on an exceptionally high note.
