I do a monthly piece for Penthouse called “The Fun Page,” and my submission for this month was just a little too much fun.  While my friends laughed their butts off at this painting, it was considered “too much” by the editorial staff at Penthouse, so they rejected it.  Back to the drawing board! Here it is in all its controversial glory….Timofey Mozgov might not want it, and neither do the editors at Penthouse, but I have a feeling Sports Illustrated will be on the horn any minute.

We are now making the original art from 2014’s Parasites of the New World set from Antihero available.  Shown here is one of the pieces, which can be purchased from Equal Distribution. Ink on paper, 14″ x 8.5″ Contact yongki@equaldist.com for inquiries.  

The newest piece for my monthly Fun Page feature in Penthouse is on newsstands now.  Its all about life and death and the middle east and space exploration and police brutality and gentrification and global warming. But mostly about dreaming. Look for more confusion and side-splitting in the months to come.

The group art show at San Francisco’s 111 Minna Gallery on July 31st went great, and if you think this claim is just more self-aggrandizing fluff, click “read more” to watch the video recap for proof:   Thanks to everyone who came out, it was a packed house.  The afterparty on the street got a little frisky, but what do you expect?

From Antihero comes these new boards for Jeff Grosso.  Look, he requested a fat, tattooed pigeon, so that’s what he got, alright? They can be found in finer skateshops now.  I think you should buy one.

July 23rd is Ratcatcher’s Day, which is a strange and goofy enough holiday to get featured as July’s Strange Holiday on Monster Children’s website.  Go to the link below to see the art and read another funny article by their editor Jason Crombie.  Is good. http://www.monsterchildren.com/36709/todd-francis-ratcatchers-day/

Vans Canada has posted a video of my July 10th art show at Antisocial in Vancouver.  You’ll catch glimpses of happy visitors, my awful insult balloons, me drawing an Antihero x Antisocial deck, and Chris Pastras and Andrew Pommier having a good time, among others.  Check it out below:

I’ll be doing a one man art show this Friday, July 10th at Vancouver’s Antisocial Skateshop.  On display will be several paintings, a large selection of my favorite Antihero decks from the last 20 years, and several pieces of original Antihero board graphic line art. The show is sponsored by the great people at Vans and Vans Syndicate, and is part of the Van Doren Invitational taking place in Vancouver at Hastings Skatepark this week, July 10th-11th. During the one night event, i’ll be designing an Antihero x Antisocial board graphic, so if you’re in the area or have some …
