“30 Days of Jerk” Pop Culture Painting Series by Jerkface

New York artist Jerkface recently completed his epic “30 Days of Jerk” painting series. For 30 straight days throughout December and January Jerkface painted a different pop culture inspired painting. While the idea of doing a 30 day run of artwork is not original, Jerkface’s goal was to bring a fun and creative take on some legendary cartoon and comic strip characters. And boy did he! Every day The Blot made sure to visit Jerkface’s Instagram account to find out which character he used.

What’s great about “30 Days of Jerk” is how Jerkface integrated his signature Jerks into paintings with beloved characters like Oscar the Grouch, Richie Rich, Spongebob Squarepants, Futurama’s Bender, Garfield and Family Guy’s Stewie. Jerkface serious cherry picked some of the greatest characters from television cartoons, comic strips, comic books and Sesame Street. Each painting carries the same theme, and yet is so different. I’m especially blown away by Jerkface’s line work! I can’t believe how tight each painting is considering they’re painted with a brush.

Each “30 Days of Jerk” release is a 12”x12” acrylic on 1.5” canvas painting, and sold for just $300 through Jerkface’s online store. While all 30 are sold out, Jerkface is currently revisiting his most popular designs and releasing them as ultra limited edition prints! So far Jerkface has released 6 prints, each with super small run sizes of 6 or 3 pieces. These prints measure 13”x13” (including a 1” boarder), come signed and numbered, and retail for $100. If you like the pieces seen here then definitely hit up Jerkface’s online store for his newest print releases (or shoot him an email and commission a one of a kind Jerkface painting).

Monopoly x Reebok Reverse Jam Mid Sneakers

You know The Blot is a huge Monopoly fan. I think it ranks right up there with another Parker Brothers creation, Trivial Pursuit, as two of my all time favorite board games (both games are now owned by Hasbro). But, even with that being said, I don’t think I could pull off this new line of Monopoly x Reebok Reverse Jam Mid sneakers. While the concept is great, the shoes aren't as great as the board game itself.


The sneaker line consists of six different versions of Reebok’s Reverse Jam Mid sneakers, each focusing on a different aspect of the Monopoly board game. The sneaker’s colorways are: Monopoly Board, Monopoly Money, Monopoly Tokens, Monopoly Chance Cards, Monopoly Community Chest Cards and Monopoly Houses. (link)



I am in shock there are so many different versions, but it should mean if you want a pair of the Reebok x Monopoly line of sneakers then at least one style should be available to you. My favorite so far has to be either the classic Monopoly Board or the Monopoly Community Chest Cards Reebok Reverse Jam Mid sneakers.



The Reebok Reverse Jam Mid Monopoly Board and Monopoly Money sneakers are set to drop on August 28th, 2008 and will sell for $84.99. (link) The remaining four styles of the Monopoly x Reebok Reverse Jam Mid line will be released November, 2008. (link)
