I thought I’d give a sneakpeak of what I’ve been working on. These paintings are for a show happening in April 2013 at the Ltd. Gallery in Seattle, WA. Ltd is a pop art gallery and so all the pieces I will be showing there will be tributes and parodies. (Some of these aren’t even titled yet). I’ve always enjoyed painting tributes of my favorite things, so I’m thrilled to be working on an entire body of work based on some of my artistic influences, favorite characters, stories, etc. Anyways, hope you like…
Here’s the show info:
“Icons & Influences” at Ltd. Gallery
Group show with Mike Capp – April 2013
30 – 40 new paintings by Justin Hillgrove and Mike Capp. All of the pieces will feature favorite pop/cult icons with the usual Hillgrove or Capp spin.

It’s the zombie apocalypse, Charlie Brown.
Trapped in Time, Surrounded by Evil,…Good Grief!!!
Here are some of my thoughts for the Charlie Brown image…
“Charlie Brown: Peanuts Killer”, “No More Mister Nice Guy”, “Pistol Packin’ Charlie”, “Satan’s Waitin'”, “Variations on a Mexican Hat Dance”, “Nightmare on Peanuts Avenue”, “Goodnight Assholes” “Great Pumpkin My Ass!”, “The nightmare before a Charlie Brown Christmas”…
Zombies, A Red Head, I’m The Block Head With A Gun… Groovy!!!
Not this time Lucy!!!!
“This is my Brown-stick!”

Are they for sale after the viewing?
I want a print of the Wild Things one!
Not so wishy-washy now…

They will be for sale in April 2013 at the show through Ltd. Gallery. Thanks!
Go for it. I’d love to see a pic if you do. Cheers.
These are fantastic! (I think that would make a great tattoo too! Awesome, I want to see it as well…) I hope I’m in town and can stop by to pick up a piece!.

Any chance there will be prints available online, either through you or the gallery?

I would love to know that as well – I would love to get a copy of the Studio Ghibli one – we are *huge* Miyazaki fans!
Hello from the UK. Plus one here for a print of the Studio Ghibli/Where The Wild Things Are tribute, really love it.
Might it be possible?
Thanks,
Mike.
I would be more than happy to buy a print of the Studio Ghibli one as well. Thanks for including the little Kodama, too!! Wonderful!

The Studio Ghibli (Hayao Miyazaki) / Where The Wild Things Are tribute (Maurice Sendak) piece should TOTALLY be made into an American Library Association “READ” poster http://www.alastore.ala.org/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=219
Will the Peanuts/Ash be available for purchase? I know you said at the showing in April but what about on your site? Boy would I love to get that for Christmas.
