Chet Zar at the Stranger Factory for the opening of his new show and NRG Creations was there to capture all of the action. Chet Zar unveiled ten new paintings, all of which were beautiful contained in his custom, hand sculpted frames. In addition the unbelievable Doktor A and Chet Zar collaboration sculpture was unveiled. Pictures in no way do justice to this four sectioned piece which is, at its base, roughly a foot in diameter. Brandt Peters and Kathie Olivas, the owners of the Stranger Factory, graciously hosted the opening in their eclectic art gallery, nestled within their equally bizarre toy shop in the Nob Hill section of Albuquerque.

The following day held an even more exciting event as far as ILTPM was concerned. Chet Zar took over the gallery for two hours, during which he lectured on where he draws his inspiration from, while accentuating the discussion with an exciting slide show. He also touched upon the more philosophical aspects of our worldly state of affairs, and how he goes about dealing with the pressures of producing good work while simultaneously generating enough income to stay afloat. I can comfortably say that, to date, some of this footage tops the cake as far as the Documentary is concerned.        

I Like to Paint Monsters presents the Chet Zar Oil Painting Raffle. Twenty-five amazing prizes to be won! One grand prize winner will receive a custom framed Chet Zar study, another lucky winner will receive an I Like to Paint Monsters hoody, and the remaining winners will receive signed Chet Zar postcards. Chet Zar is currently painting the study that will be offered as the grand prize so we will be unveiling the study very soon! The raffle drawing will be held on May 25, 2013, and every winner will be notified by email and phone call. The raffle will also be filmed and posted for all to see! 

The best part is the opportunity to help fund I Like to Paint Monsters! The Kickstarter project showed us how much can be achieved when people band together; we were able to raise $30K with the assistance of 171 people! It’s quite a treat to be a part of something exciting like a documentary about a favorite artist. Every cent earned ensures the excellence of the documentary, and every cent counts!

We are also offering a host of other exciting products! Currently we have Limited Edition 11×17″ Movie Posters, signed by both Filmmaker Mike Correll and Artist Chet Zar. This batch of posters will be the only version with the old branding, and there are only 50 to be had! We are also offering Distressed 8.5×11″ Screen-printed I Like to Paint Monster Prints, signed by Mike Correll. Very soon we will unleash the full fury of merchandise with hoodies, t-shirts, and patches! So stay tuned, check the store and, as always, thank you for your support!
