It looks like Mark Dean Veca (interviewed) is tackling another pop icon for his upcoming C.O.L.A. Fellowship exhibition at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery.

Mark will certainly be busy working up to the opening of his show in May, as we have also learned he is working on a permanent art project for the new Gehry skyscraper in Manhattan.
