Our friends at Gizmodo has the first look at some of the stunning pieces of art on display at Tom Whalen’s upcoming solo pop culture show.
Bust’d 2: Bust’d With a Vengeance opens at Gallery 1988 West in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 3. “It’s comprised of dozens of new limited edition art prints, metal editions, wood sculptures, sketches and more. Each takes one of your favorite characters and reimagines them as busts, in Whalen’s trademark geometric style,” explains the site.
Here’s a taste with more at the aforementioned links.
“The original ‘Bust’d’ show was a throwback of sorts to the small, illustrated busts that I would create and show at comic conventions ten years prior,” Whalen told io9. “Response to the first show was really great, and I saw an opportunity to continue a series that I enjoy working on. These bite-sized pieces offer me some schedule flexibility because I can do them in between larger, more time-consuming projects and offer collectors affordable, varied pieces that don’t overwhelm precious wall space.”
