Ego Death- the big funeral show this Saturday Oct 26th 2013 at Copro gallery!

Hello

Well, it looks like the time is almost near- Ego Death is upon us!

We are currently prepping for and setting up what will be my biggest and best show ever- "Ego Death"! Come to Copro gallery this Saturday, Oct 26th and take part in a funeral for the collective ego of humanity.

There will be a hearse, a funeral procession, a eulogy read by a creepy undertaker, a graveyard out in front of the gallery...plus lots of other fun events at this epic funeral/art show. Since the show will be presented as a funeral, black attire is encouraged! Also, folks who come in costume (preferably BLACK, or at least mostly black) or victorian/gothic funeral garb will get a free Ego Death poster!

Also in gallery 2 will be master tattoo artist Nikko Hurtado's first ever solo show of oil paintings, "Renati"!

You can also see the online preview for Ego Death here: http://www.copronason.com/ego/ Pieces are still available!

Heading off to Germany

I was invited by my friend and incredible tattoo artist Tommy Lee Wendtner to come out to the Dortmund Tattoo and Piercing Convention June 14th, 15th and 16th: http://www.tattoo-show.de/. I will be there with some small studies and a little bit of merch to sell and I will also be painting live throughout the weekend.

After the con I will be hanging out with Tommy and my buddy Caesar (http://www.caesartattoo.com/) at Tommy's Tattoo shop. Monsters Under Your Bed. https://www.facebook.com/monstersunderyourbeddotcom?ref=br_rs. Hopefully I will learn a thing or two about tattooing!

Conjoined III: The Final Chapter opens this Saturday, Jan 19th!

Chet Zar Documentary Kickstarter Project

Hi Folks

So this dude Mike Correll wants to make a documentary about me and my artwork. There are lots of great rewards offered for those who donate (prints, original art, etc). If you can;t donate, any kind of promotion would also be very helpful and much appreciated.
