About Bottom's Up

Bottom's Up returns to the foundational subject of Michael Godard's entire career: the martini glass and its personified olive, rendered here in a straightforward toast that could stand as an introduction to his whole visual world. There is a reason this kind of scene keeps reappearing in his catalog; it is the concept his career was built on, and he continues to find new variations on it decades later.

It is a favorite among collectors of Las Vegas pop art, cocktail and bar wall art, and limited edition giclee, the imagery that first built Godard's reputation as the Rockstar of the Art World. If you are ready to start or grow a collection, browse the full range of Michael Godard art for sale.

This is the documented run currently offered for this title. Bottom's Up is a giclee, a fine-art process using archival pigment inks, here on gallery-wrapped canvas.

Where this fits in Godard's work

Bottom's Up sits at the very foundation of Godard's catalog, the martini-and-olive imagery that started his career after a friend's birthday request in the 1990s. Collectors who already own pieces like Swirly-tini or First Date Martini often add Bottom's Up as a companion piece, since all three draw on that same foundational cocktail subject.

About Michael Godard

From draftsman and drummer to "Rockstar of the Art World"

Born in 1963 and later based in Las Vegas, Godard studied at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena and at UNLV, and spent years working as a draftsman and commercial illustrator, and drumming in Las Vegas bands, before painting full time. The turning point was a friend's request for a birthday painting about dirty martinis: he answered with personified, animated olive characters full of attitude, and that became the visual language behind the nickname collectors know him by, the "Rockstar of the Art World."

The signature style

His pop art is instantly recognizable, personified olives, grapes, and other characters set against high-contrast backgrounds, rendered with theatrical exaggeration and a satirist's sense of timing, plus the small hidden details that reward repeat viewing. Bottom's Up is one of the clearest, most direct examples of that founding visual language.

Beyond the canvas, and giving back

His book Don't Drink and Draw, with a foreword by friend and collector Ozzy Osbourne, was named an Art Book of the Year in 2006. Since 2006, following the loss of his daughter Paige to brain cancer at 16, the artist has maintained an ongoing charitable relationship with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and related causes. This title joins a catalog of limited edition fine art he has been building for more than twenty years. For the complete story, read the full artist biography.
