17.75 x 23.75 – 4 color silkscreen – S/N edition of 150 – This print was commissioned for Melrose’s Gallery 1988 “Is this thing on?” show in 2011. While researching Steve Martin Todd learned that he has an incredible collection of art including paintings by Kline, Picasso, Seurat and many others. For this piece he wanted to combine Martin’s love of modern art with his absurdly funny comedy. As you might have guessed, the cat juggling comes from a scene in “The Jerk”(Todd's personal favorite Steve Martin film), and for the background he made a painting styled after Franz Kline’s work. The print sold out at the show, so you may want to jump on this one.

My all time comedic favorite! And love the concept.
