Full Re-cap of the Seattle show, minus most of the blood;) by Alex Pardee

Alex gives a good accounting of his crazy weekend in Seattle at the Zero Friends pop up store I told you about last week. And yes some dude did cut himself and bled all over the floor. Lots of pictures and Alex's unique perspective on things is a great read.

ALEX PARDEE & ZEROFRIENDS Are Taking Over SEATTLE! (kinda) NEW PRINT

From Alex

What am I doing aside from trying to find the haunted basketball court they
used in the Smells like Teen Spirit video? Well, I am setting up a little
intimate art show, print release & signing on Friday evening at 6:00 pm at
The Upper Playground up there.
In addition to that, ZEROFRIENDS will be taking over a section of the U.P.
store and selling a bunch of shirts and prints throughout the next month! We
have been hesitant to jump into the retail game given the economy and all,
but this will be a good test so please please go check out the clothing if
you are in Seattle and help support so we can take over stores throughout
the country;)

The art show, itself, is going to be a fun little collection of stuff.
Because I just got back from my Denver solo show, and this was a little
spontaneous opportunity, I will be displaying and selling a number of random
pieces of art and prints. I know most of my shows have themes and stuff,
think of this one as my favorite Jeopardy category, Potpourri!
We will have both framed and un-framed prints for sale, books, shirts, some
never before seen original black and white drawings from some of my clothing
and poster designs, as well as a few little paintings for good measure.
And as a special surprise, we are releasing a Seattle-exclusive limited
Giclee print of 'THE HANDFUL", like this:


Also, we are gonna party with you Seattle-ites. And Satellites.


So come on by, i think there will be drinks and music. No charge, all ages,
all that good stuff. And if you cant make it to the opening, come by the
shop to support Zerofriends all through September!

See ya there.
Word.

Alex Pardee's Big COMIC CON SECRET REVEALED!

Last night, at 1am at the San Diego comic con, one of my favorite directors, Zack Snyder (Dawn Of the Dead, 300, Watchmen) showed the very first public piece of art for his upcoming movie, Sucker Punch. and guess what!? Alex did the art work for it.

Zack Snyder was in San Diego last night hosting a Blu-Ray Live screening of Watchmen for Comic-Con. Apparently a few of these new shirts for his next upcoming movie, Sucker Punch, were handed out during that screening. Deadline Hollywood snapped a shot of the very first "art" from Sucker Punch that's publicly available. From that design alone, this looks like some twisted, dark, crazy stuff that we'll be seeing in Zack's next movie. As far as I know, that is Emily Browning on the shirt.

Sucker Punch is Zack Snyder's first movie not based on previous material, rather an original idea that he came up with. The story follows a young girl institutionalized by her wicked stepfather. Retreating to an "alternative reality" as a coping strategy, she envisions a plan which will help her escape from the facility. Emily Browning stars as Baby Doll and is joined by Abbie Cornish, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, and Vanessa Hudgens. I'm digging the hidden sword and pin in the logo. I hope that means we get to see Browning kick some ass with a samurai sword as well as machine guns and more. Shooting starts soon up in Vancouver.

COMIC CON 2009 NEW "CHADAM" TRAILER BY ALEX PARDEE SDCC 2009

If you don't know, CHADAM is an animated series Alex created for Warner Bros

release date, but they are getting there;)

Anyway, check it out!



And here is a little behind the scenes, high-fiving action from the weekend
that they recorded the voice-acting, which still ranks up there in one of the
coolest 2-day-period of his life.

New Alex Pardee T-shirt Handful on sale

New Alex Pardee shirt on at Zero Friends $28

The following story by Alex Pardee is printed on the inside of the shirt:

"I went to school with a kid named Tommy Revenge who had an abnormally large right hand. Not just abnormally large for a 12 year old. Plain old abnormally large. He couldn't wear both gloves so his Mom wrapped his huge hand in a towel when it was cold, but the extra weight made him lose balance a lot. One morning we were all playing chicken with the groundskeeper and his ride-on John Deere like we always did, but Tommy's hand must have weighed a lot that day, because he got real close, and then just collapsed to his right, and fell under the lawnmower blades. Ironically, after the lawnmower completely diced him like a carrot, his huge right hand, the last thing to enter the blades, jammed them, destroying the machine. We always said that at least his last name suited him, as Tommy got his "Revenge". Kinda."

30 Original pieces by Alex Pardee up for sale!!

JUST IN FROM ALEX AND ZEROFRIENDS

Hey there.
Well, this is kind of a bittersweet entry into blogdom as I sit here
watching Labyrinth (the prequel to Pan's Labyrinth where the girl, instead
of being a nice little imaginative girl, is a terrible teenager and says "I
HATE YOU!" to babies) and thinking about how much time i DON'T have to meet
certain deadlines that are rapidly approaching. But that's not your problem.
Nor is the fact that a severe, hippy-punching storm attacked the opening
night to my solo show in Portland causing a lot of people (except the
amazingly supportive local crowd) to stay indoors instead of outdoors where
they would have surely been ass-raped by winds and hail.



So what am I getting at? Well, I have been extremely fortunate and
appreciative in the past year or so to actually be able to sell some artwork
in an economy where people aren't even buying porn. Being able to put
together some cool art shows with affordable pieces has been really
well-accepted in general, and simultaneously has helped pay the bills too.
So 2 hours before the doors opened to my new show, when the city-wide storm
warnings literally told people to stay inside their houses and NOT COME OUT
AT ALL BECAUSE THEY WILL DIE, I got a little bummed. In the end, though, the
rain let up and people showed up and I sold some art and i had an amazing
show. Whenever I sell art, even if its one piece, its good news. But now for
the better news: because not much sold at the opening, now everyone else who
is not in the Pacific Northwest can get a chance to view/purchase some of my
original art.

You can check out the entire price list and images for the show by clicking
HERE or by going to the direct link:

Tons of photos from Alex Pardee's PDX Art Opening...

From Alex

My recent solo show, "Self Portraits Of Other People", opened last thursday in Portland @ Upper Playground amidst city wide storm and tornado warnings, which scared off a lot of people in the beginning of the show, but after the storm let up, the locals came rain-dancing out from the donut shops and strip clubs to show their support. Thank you to everyone who came out and weathered the madness. I had a blast. Enough rambling, I will let the photos do the chattering:

Alex Pardee x Greg Simkins Collab T-Shirt and poster !!!

From Alex

I (along with the rest of Zerofriends) am proud to announce a pretty crazy milestone for Zerofriends:
Our VERY FIRST TRUE COLLABORATION t-shirt & print release!
Please file this in the "it-was-bound-to-happen-eventually-but-its-still-blowing-my-mind-at-how-cool-it-was-to-work-on" folder, as today Zerofriends released both a t-shirt and a HUGE poster featuring collaborative art between myself and GREG "CRAOLA" SIMKINS!!!!




Greg and I have collaborated in the past and we really wanted to do something cool for our first Zerofriends collab, so we decided to stop planning and just jump right in and MASH UP both of our companies ("Zerofriends", and "I'm Scared") into a deformed frankenstein-ish pile of superheroes.
What started as an innocent play on the old "Superfriends" shirts that both Greg and I had when we were in fourth grade, morphed into something a little more monstrous after a few back and forth sketch-sessions.
The end result is now available for you to dress yourself up in thanks to the age-old craft of printing!!

Starting today, The "SCARED FRIENDS" design is an insane 11-COLOR screenprint available on 3 different colors of shirts (white, slate, and light blue). And we actually used the exact color palette of the old superfriends art when we were designing this graphic.

And, because both Greg & My bedroom walls were plastered with super hero posters and giant dinosaur-eating galaxy posters, we thought "Why not produce old school-style wall posters?!" So we did just that. The "Scared Friends" image is also available as a HUGE 24" x 36" glossy poster for you (or your kids') walls!!

In the midst of everything else that is going on, this is something that i have been DYING to tell you guys about because Greg Simkins is one of my favorite artists of all time so it was a really fun collab. So be sure to check it out and grab one before they run out (as Greg's art and products seems to be more in demand than Kanye West's Nikes as of late).

Here's the info about the shirts, which are available EXCLUSIVELY online at Zerofriends ONLY!!!

Here is some more info about the book and about my revolutionary creative process:

"A lot of people don't know that one of my 2 main hobbies are A) trying to do things blindfolded, and B) detective work, aka just pretty much spying on people. Over the years, because of certain projects that I have been lucky enough to be a part of, I have also gained access to certain peoples' lives, which is always an awesome chance to take part in my spying hobby.

For example, Did you know Avril Lavigne speaks FLUENT DOLPHIN??! Its incredible!

After spying on almost every celebrity in Hollywood, I had stockpiled a ton of actual secrets that I have learned about some of them. Some secrets are astonishing, others are just AWESOME. I then decided that i no longer wanted them to be secrets anymore, and I wanted to share them with all of you. But then I thought, "how could I possibly do this in a non-boring way??? Oh, I know, I will practice my OTHER hobby, and PAINT BLINDFOLDED while simultanously integrating all of these TRUE FACTS into my paintings, and then compile them into a set of books for you to enjoy."






And thus, "The Secrets Of Hollywood, Part 1" was born.
This is the first in a series of 3 books, which, when combined together, will be over 120 pages of amazing and SECRET secrets that some of your favorite celebrities don't want you to know.

Here are some pics of the book, and as an added bonus, the FIRST 100 ONLINE ORDERS WILL RECEIVE A FREE GICLEE PRINT OF A BRAND NEW SECRET! (HINT: ITS THIS CHRIS BROWN ONE RIGHT HERE:)







Note: "The Secrets of Hollywood" was originally compiled and published in 2004 in a smaller format, but sold out quickly and has not been available anywhere in 5 years. However, this new version, though containing the same artwork, is re-laid out with larger panels, and broken up into 3 separate books in order to present the artwork the way Alex originally intended it. This is book #1.
