Halloween

bio raised by feral robot wolves in the backwoods of northeastern pennsylvania and nourished on a steady diet of comic books, arnold schwarzenegger movies and swedish fish, tom whalen has a high-pitched, metallic voice in his head that compels him to endlessly churn out all sorts of vectorized madness. infatuated with all things giant, japanese and city-destroying, tom is a confessed monster junkie who cannot wait for earth to be overrun by either zombies, werewolves or vampires so that he can field test the wooden-stake-firing chain gun that he’s been working on in his basement for the past 38 or so years. he also adores kittens. introduced to graphic art by the likes of ditko, lee, mcfarlane, and simonson at an early age, tom formally studied illustration and design at kutztown university before working as a graphic designer and an editorial illustrator. he has recently completed projects for the black keys, topps, mondo, idw comics, the hub, wired, scientific american, pc world and nicktoons.Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph.Hours: Wed - Sun: 11 AM - 6 PM Mon & Tues: ClosedGallery1988 (Venice) is proud to officially announce its newest exhibition, opening this Friday, September 28th, "Around The World In An 80's Daze." One of the most anticipated shows of the year, artists, and friends, Tom Whalen & Dave Perillo have combined forces to create one of the most inspiring and cohesive shows in G1988 history. Dave and Tom have created dozens of new prints for G1988, the first traditional gallery either had ever shown work in, and they did NOT disappoint. The show had been shrouded in secrecy, until just the other day when the artists revealed they have created pop culture-inpsired travel posters, each more inventive than the next.
