In continuation of “every day is Halloween” here’s the Bart Simpson print I designed. I had just finished this piece around this time in October 2014 - for my solo show “SCREAM WITH ME” at @galerief in Chicago!

I was creating ALL-NEW pieces for the show and wanted to add some levity to what was all horror movie related. I think I had 2 months to crank out 13 new pieces for the show. I think. I dunno how much time I had, but it was short.

I remember seeing the first episode of The Simpsons when it debuted on The Tracey Ullman Show back in 1987!! Then came the Tree House Of Horror in 1990 and in between all of that was the “Bootleg Bart” phenomenon that lives on to this day. I wish I would have kept some of those shirts…The Simpsons were part of my DNA as a kid and I’m happy that Matt Groening’s influence is still rattling around in my brain.

If you scroll through you can see the stages of the piece and the variants I designed for the show! The inks are still available - hit me up if interested!!

So yeah, I was trying a lot of new stuff for this show and had never thought I could make the anatomical style…funny! I’m really happy with the result. I also created a Milhouse version similar to this for the show. I’ll post that next. I had really wanted to explore more of the characters with this style but I am always easily distracted by the next project ahead of me.

Which of the Simpsons characters would you like to see done in this style?

I did make a Lisa Simpson as a gift to a friend and only released it as a mini print - that you can only get from me at conventions or through select shops and galleries.

P.S., It looks like Galerie F started to carry some of my mini prints now. They should carry MORE! NudgeNudgeWinkWink
