“you don’t wanna get mixed up with a guy like me.. i’m a loner, dottie, a rebel..”

this is probably my favorite thing i’ve ever drawn, bc it truly comes from the heart. pee-wee’s big adventure has been one of my top five films since i'd seen it as a kid, and i love it and laugh more each time i watch it, which is why i jumped at the opportunity to draw this poster for one of my favorite theaters that sold out at their screening a couple days ago! i couldn't be more proud or pleased.

i put a lot of work into the concept and details! pee-wee's costumes are in order of appearance, and of course, as said at the bottom, it's based on kraftwerk's tour de france cover, due to his dream in the opening scene. what could be better than combining an excellent album and film? i can’t put into words how much he impacted my personality, decor taste, and sense of humor so i’ll leave it at a simple “thanks for everything, pee-wee”! without you, i would have never started to feel comfortable being, in total seriousness, a silly little guy.

i have pee-wee stickers for sale in my shop, which i just resurrected, and will be listing this print, as well as a couple others, in the near future!

I guess I've always been something of a weird 80's media fanatic, thanks in large part to both my mom and dad for sharing pieces of their own childhoods with me as a kid. Nothing is more evident of that fact than my introduction to Pee-wee's Playhouse when I was maybe six years old.

Although I was born 14 years too late to have ever enjoyed the show when it first came out, the nostalgia my dad had for it made it possible for me to grow up with Pee-wee as a staple of my own childhood. I will be forever grateful for all all the joyous memories I made sitting in front of the TV, laughing at those rented Netflix-disc episodes.

Hope you rest easy, Paul Reubens.

Remembering Victor J. Kemper 1927-2023

Cinematographer Victor J. Kemper has died at 96. He was a cinematographer on numerous films notably comedies. One of my favorites of his was Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon. That claustrophobia of the bank as Al Pacino is holding everyone hostage and the pressure building was enhanced by Kemper's work.

My other favorite of his was Tim Burton's debut Pee-wee's Big Adventure. I just caught a special screening of this at the Somerville Theatre over the weekend and it is such a visual film that is injecting absurdity to a wacky comedy about a man-child searching for his bike. One of my favorites!

Other notable films he photographed include Slap Shot, The Jerk, Author! Author!, Mr. Mom, National Lampoon's Vacation, Cloak & Dagger, and Tommy Boy. That's quite a filmography!
