A poster advert for upcoming Bottletree show featuring Vandaveer, one of my favorite local DC artists.  His new record, Divide & Conquer, is really great.

This just in: I was just notified that this collage has been accepted into the upcoming Paraphrase show at the New Orleans Darkroom Gallery.  The show is features work “paraphrasing, spoofing, caricaturing, parodying or lampooning icons of photography” and is juried by John H. Lawrence, director of museum programs at the Historic New Orleans Collection.  The show opens with a reception on Saturday October 4, 6-8pm.

My collage is a spoof on Ansel Adams entitled, “Mr. Negativity.”  Adams, who you all know because at least one of your stockings over the years has been stuffed with a calendar featuring his landscapes from Yosemite and Yellowstone, developed the 10-point Zone System for exposure and development and wrote a series of technical books on photographic processes - including one entitled, “The Negative.”

As poster artists, it’s always a treat whenever you get to create art for musicians you’ve been into for a long time. Ours is one of those bands for us. Jimmy Gnecco has arguably one of the best and most skillful voices out there today. This will be a great show.
