The Artexpo Las Vegas will showcase more than 300 exhibits which will include Motion Picture Studio Artist Tom Zotos who was behind studios such as Warner Bros., Lucasfilm and The Disney Studios. Zotos was inspired by the master Andy Warhol early in his studio career. Warhol was to Marilyn Monroe and Campbell's Soup what Zotos became to rock stars and superheroes such as John Lennon, Mel Blanc, Superman, Batman and Luke Skywalker.

Tom Zotos and C. Christie Craig, President of C3 Group, joined forces and co-created "Meeting Adjourned..." in the form of a Special Collector's Edition Lithograph and Limited Edition Giclee -- a commemorative tribute to Frank Sinatra's 60 years in the entertainment industry. The artwork illustrates an old fashioned standing microphone of the big band era, a stool, a hat and a faint cloud of rising smoke illuminated by a single spotlight on a darkened stage. Zotos will make his debut and will showcase an exhibition of his studio collection of images he created and or published including, "Speechless...," the legendary tribute to "The Man of a Thousand Voices," Mel Blanc as well as "Walt Disney c. 1928," "Leo Di Mickey," Bob Kane's last "Batman" masterpiece and "Superman."

Zotos and Craig inked a worldwide rights licensing deal with Frank Sinatra Enterprises and with new licensing deals on the horizon, Sinatra is the first in a series of projects-in-development and industry insiders are watching this unleashed pop culture archeologist-closely. What's next for Craig and Zotos? Stay tuned for Artexpo Las Vegas on September 29th -- The Celebrity Pavillion Booth #452!
