2015: a current poster for a group of Detroit photographers, done in a typographic style and compositional aesthetic reminiscent of some of the posters I originally did for them back in the 1980s. Click on it for a closer look at some of the adroit photographs they are still doing and my apt credit line !

These 2011 color pencil drawings (8 1/2 x 11″) are reminiscent in style and composition of larger oil paintings I used to do in the early 1960s. Only they where not this colorful, back then I had what I called, “a good grade of grubbiness” to my pallet.

My piece for Print’s 75th birthday. It’s meant to be a grubby paste up (and send up) of the sort of crazy commercial art and show card lettering fancies that Print Magazine, starting back in 1940, helped do away with by promoting and featuring a more modernized and professionalized graphic design. It may not actually be true, but I needed a narrative to indulge myself in some of that idiosyncratic excessiveness !
