Giant Robot is proud to host a tiny exhibition of colossal proportions curated by artists Jordin Isip and Rodger Stevens.
Dime Bag 3 is the ninth in an ongoing series of events by Isip and Stevens, bringing together over 200 artists from New York City and beyond representing an extraordinary variety of disciplines. Painters, illustrators, graphic designers, filmmakers, photographers, product designers, and others have been invited to create artworks specifically designed to be exhibited in 3-inch plastic bags: dime bags. Each artist was sent one of the symbolic baggies and asked to fill it in any way they wished.

This is the painting I will have in it. "The Roving Pits"

The Eel Life

I just finished these paintings for the "Just Because" show at the C.A.V.E. Gallery.
They are pretty small. You can't tell by the scan so much, but there's a lot of metalics in the portrait. I guess you will have to see them in person to get the full effect!

She Skull by the sea shore

Just finished this for the Skull show this weekend.

Downright revisited

Nice little write up in Whitehot magazine about Jashar and the 'Downright' show I was in back in November.
They mentioned me! "Martin’s “Downright Dispicable” (acrylic on wood) offers another striking visual experience. The object of the panel is commanding while her floating body-less companions pleasantly adorn the piece like a soft buttercream." Buttercream huh?
