I've got artwork in a P-Funk show in LA! If you can get to Meltdown Comics sometime between July 29th and August 7th, you're in for a treat. Dozens of artists created tributes to their favorite Parliment/Funkadelic records. My piece is an homage to Pedro Bell's graphic artwork on the Funkadelic "Hardcore Jollies" album. Burlesque powerhouse Tashia "Sgt. Diewies" Vango modeled for the image and I'm really happy about the way it turned out. Below is the information for the show from the event website.
