The Picture Of Dorian's Grey

The latest re-imagining of classic literature, in the vein of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Says author Chip Zdarsky: "Listen, I’m not going to lie to you. I really need some of this old-book-meets-whatever money."

Law & Order: Gary Busey

My fired and colleague Chip Zdarsky's painting for a Law & Order art show curated by Brandon Bird running July 24-30 in Los Angeles! Says Chip: "I like painting Gary Busey."

Each piece is an artist's interpretation of a one-line episode summary of Law & Order from the DirecTV program guide. Like the series that inspired them, they are sometimes straightforward and sometimes offer a twist; sometimes they contain no easy answers, and sometimes they are just plain goofy.

Chip's line: The Wife of a Once-Popular Singer (Gary Busey) is Found Dead. Seems like that really was an episode too.
