Each print is a giclee, a fine-art process using archival pigment inks, here on gallery-wrapped canvas.
When a bet goes wrong
Where Burning Blackjack reads as a hot streak, this piece leans the other way, cars, dice, and fire suggesting real consequence rather than celebration. That narrative thread, a bet that does not pay off, runs through several of Godard's gambling-themed canvases, and it makes Busted a natural companion to his other casino and automotive pieces for a game room or home bar.
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. This piece uses that same theatrical instinct to give a losing bet real visual consequence.
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.
