Limited Skeletor iPhone cases are available for a short time HERE!
UPDATE: Limited Edition prints of these are now available at Gallery 1988 LA!! Click HERE.
I’ve been ridiculously excited about this ever since I was invited to participate months ago.. Opening on January 8th, Gallery 1988 LA presents their 4th annual tribute show, this time honoring He-Man and the Masters of the Universe!!
Being a super-ultra-mega fan from 1983-85, followed by a brief few months in ’86, where I thought I might actually be She-Ra, you can imagine the fun I had painting these.
This is how I envision He-Man and Skeletor spending their days off; trimming the bowl cut and getting a root canal.. a very evil one.

*UPDATE* I ‘ve received a few emails regarding these pieces (thank you!).. Both pieces have SOLD, but prints are being made by Gallery 1988, hopefully to be out sometime in April. If you have any questions, please contact me at kiersten@youfail.com.
Love getting to see the things you create.
Glad to have been a part of your journey,
and you, in mine.
Keep up the goodness!
Loving you..

A++++++++++++++++ Kiers, these are so funny and fun, I hope they will find a good home!
These are super rad. A bet Skeletor is a nice guy when he is not being evil.
Those illustrations are just brilliant!

These two are amazing!
Since the originals have been sold to a speedier Mr or Miss Moneybags, I was wondering if there were prints available?
Amazing work! Both definitely stood out from the rest of the collection. As others have asked, are there prints available?
Regards.
Really good work about this website was done. Keep trying more – thanks!
I love your Trimming the Bowl Cut.
