ART SHOW! WITH CAPTAIN SKINNERA “how-to” series unlike any other. Bob Ross on LSD meets The Evil Dead… in Space.Premiering on YouTube and Substack on Friday, February 13 with new episodes weekly from Friday, March 6.TUNE IN!YOU TUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@EtchFilmSUBSCRIBE: etchstudio.substack.comART SHOW! WITH CAPTAIN SKINNER follows the misadventures of a doomed PBS-style television series. As Skinner and his tiny crew (including the stop motion animated Space Cowboy) attempt to produce a television series in outer space, their efforts are constantly thwarted by – well – everything from meteor showers to intrusive thoughts to the stark horror of an uncaring cosmos. ART SHOW! WITH CAPTAIN SKINNER is comprised of 10 episodes, each running around 15 minutes in length. In each episode, we watch as Skinner creates a unique and stunning piece of artwork. The show is a bombastic, futuristic, gore and color-saturated love letter to shows like The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross and Commander Mark and the Secret City. ART SHOW! flips the script by oozing hyper-phantasmagorical slapstick, body-horror, and off-the wall comedy. SKINNERCo-creator/Writer/StarSkinner is a beloved artist, creator, comedian, writer, and general manifestation of psychedelic nightmare experiences who has infected many medias worldwide!
