Hello this week Artist’s Spotlight is featuring Robert Jimenez
Describe a little bit about your artistic self:
“Comic books, trading cards, b-monster movies and the like have all combined to influence my art. Growing up in Brooklyn, I had easy access to corner newstands with walls of comics and trading cards. On TV, I regularly watched a combination of Abbott & Costello, along with schlocky horror and sci-fi movies which were also an influence. Later, the mystery of moonlit polynesian islands and Tikis were factored into my art.”
Are you currently working on something or have any events coming up?:
“I just wrapped up work on 9 gags and paintings for the upcoming trading card set WACKY PACKAGES GO TO THE MOVIES by Topps as well as my first Garbage Pail Kid, Gary Gravy, for Topps’ online cards. I’ll also recently finished working on a 2 page comic spread for an upcoming book on the lyrics of the band ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN. I’ll be at The HUKILAU, a Tiki event in Ft. Lauderdale in June!”
Do you have a website?:
“All my work can be seen at http://zerostreet.com/ I also have a separate site for just my Tiki art: http://tikitower.com/
What has inspired your last piece or collection?:
“John Carpenter’s THE THING was the inspiration for my portrait of Kurt Russell which is included in THE THING: ARTBOOK by Printed In Blood.”
