I recently created a limited edition 16×24″ print for Gauntlet Gallery’s Daft Punk show ReDiscovery.  Two prints actually, Futuro Punkaris Monumentus – “Sun” & “Moon”, depicting a future society where a gigantic monument has been created in tribute to Daft Punk.  People, animals & aliens gather from all around to get down! Even Pikachu, Micheal Jackson, Rooney Fruits the Angel Dancer and a pink elephant from Dumbo joined the fray.  In all there are 74 dancers. Nearly broke my mind completing this so I hope you enjoy the festivities. Here’s a rough breakdown of all the characters – 3 lizards (plus 1 lizard man), 4 cats, my lovely wife (3x), my cute dog Football, 1 polar bear, 5 mice, 1 Gnisha, 5 monkeys (gibbon, spider, orangutan…), 2 rabbits, 27 ladies (including a 4 armed blue skinned gal), 22 fellas, 2 babies, 1 Pokémon, and a partridge in a pear tree. The gentlemen behind the helmets, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo & Thomas Bangalter, are even in there.  This was an absolute beast to do, but once I started I just had to complete the vision. Below are a bunch of detail shots.
