On Tour...

The former of these two images was done for a design for production class I took a little while back. The idea was to take an existing tour and make a promotional poster for it that was sound and effective in a graphic design kinda way.
Heavy metal sure can be pretty lame, but ya gotta love their predictable 'bad-ass' type of imagery.
The latter of these two images was done for myself. I just dig the band Bad Religion and had already drawn the little cityscape with the burning palm trees so I figured why not make a tour poster out of it. It was fun, so that was really enough justification for me...

The Grass is Always Greener

This was originally a linoleum reduction cut that i had printed on fields of green and red. The secondary layers of those colors didn't respond well so I reprinted them on this marbled paper I had found at an art supply store in downtown Long Beach.
The print itself is about my color blindness and how its viewed by myself and by others. I went with the red/green to represent the issued with color blindness and the imagery of the heart is a reference to ones desires.
I found that while I desired to see color as non color blind people do many non color blind people were dying to see color as I do. It was all about the experience and seeing things from another's perspective I suppose. I found this to be a rather interesting statement on where people are coming from and where they seem to want to go.

Lithography

Lithography is a VERY process oriented form of printmaking. I never thought I was very good at it, though one or two of my lithos did get some moderate attention.
This one (for all intents and purposes is untitled) is a bit of a representation of imagery I was using at the time I made it. A bit of Egon Schiele, the disembodied eye ala Odelon Redon, the devil and the angel and the 'shroom were all sampled from work I was making at the time.
This print is kinda long. It's not very tall, but it measures some 25 or so inches wide.
To be honest I'm posting it here because I kinda wanna see if this site wont drastically shrink down the image the way deviant art did. That and I'd love for it to be exposed to a broader audience too.
(chuckling to myself...)
