JABBA!
Here we go!

Tomorrow it all starts. I'm flying out to southern Italy for the Jabba! Festival in Acaya, near Lecce. I'll be bringing two special limited editions of multiple originals produced exclusively for this event: "The Taped Duck" and "The Six Million Dollar Car II" (The Pimped Ride). In both cases, they're reworkings of earlier parody art motifs, redrawn and with new details.
