Todd Slater Seven Psychopaths (Tom Waits) & The Dark Passenger Posters on sale


NEW from Todd Slater
The Dark Passenger 18 x 24 – 6 color silkscreen – edition of 125 (sparkle variant to 30) - This print was commissioned for the first Bottleneck Gallery show entitled: More Than You Imagined: Art Inspired by Premium Cable.  This idea started off being titled "Slice of Life" and included Dexter's infamous boat above a stormy sky.  I realized midway thru that the real idea here was the Dexter character as the dark side of the moon looking out over all of Miami.  The light and dark of the moon represent the two sides of his personality: the white is the pristine character that Dexter projects in public; the one everyone sees.  The dark side, which represents much more of who he is, is hidden from plain site but visible to those who look closer.  To the left and right of the moon are two dark angels (printed in a shiny black varnish).  The one on the dark side whispers destruction while the one on the light side hushes Dexter and preaches tranquility.




Seven Psychopaths - Tom Waits Detais from Todd
24 x 36 – 6 color silkscreen (3 transparent inks) – edition of 100 - Tom Waits!  Well, this was an awesome gig. CBS Films commissioned seven different artists to create separate character studies for each of the serial killers in their upcoming film: Seven Psychopaths. Tom carries a bunny around in the film and was a killer of other serial killers at one point in his life.  I was given art direction throughout the project directly from Tom and his manager. This is a presale so please note that these will not ship for approximately two weeks.
