30 Days of Saul Goodman
UPDATE: T-Shirts now available!
What can I say about the Breaking Bad Art Project, except that I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to participate! Not only is Breaking Bad one of my favorite TV shows currently on TV, but I have been such a fan of the amazing art/posters being created as part of the BreakingGifs campaign.
When I started sketching out ideas for my piece, I kept coming back to my favorite character on the show: the hilarious, slightly corrupt, sleazy but charming, strip-mall layer, Saul Goodman. What cracks me up about him most is his loud, mismatched, colorful wardrobe.
So I decided to go through each & every episode that Saul was in and document exactly what he was wearing. Yes, it took forever, but it was great excuse to rewatch 4+ seasons of great TV! They’re all individual 5in x 5in painted wood panels, each sealed in resin. Below, in order left to right, I give you 30 Days of Saul Goodman:

I can’t tell you how fast these were flying off the wall at the opening on Saturday! Fabulous work, amazing idea, absolutely love it!! :)
Aggghhh!! So jealous I couldn’t be there.. and Bob Odenkirk was there too!! So bummed I couldn’t get a pic of that. Thanks so much for the kind words, I’m gonna have to live vicariously through you. :)
Hi Kiersten-
I’m completely in love/obsessed with your piece Days of Saul Goodman! I just came across a photo online and that led me to your website. I realize the original is in an art show and has been sold, but have you considered making prints?
Let me know,
Anne Morter
I would also be interested in a high-quality print of the collective panels, would that be possible in the future? Excellent work!
I am blown away by “30 Days of Saul Goodman”. He is probably my favorite character of the show. I also wondered the same as the inquiring minds above – would LOVE to have a print of this someday.
Thank you and keep up the good work!

I bought the last one! Was randomly in Los Angeles for a couple of days, two friends emailed me about the exhibition, and I made it there just an hour before closing. I enjoyed the whole show, but kept coming back to the suits, they were unique and appealing, and 20 years from now it’ll be fun to explain why I have a little painting of an empty suit.
Wonderful idea, well executed. Thanks!
That’s great, thank you so much, Mitch!! :)
