I just can't keep a Surprise,soooooo...
(Actually, the scanner finally STOPPED acting up)
well, from 89 to around 2002 i worked in the surf industry
designing and directing tees,wovens,boardshorts,ads,knits,etc ad naseum...
so i started developing an image file....well, this got to be quite messy so i
decided to start making "vibe sheets" where i'd take a subject and just paste
clipping on a page.....i'd do it for Tikis/typefaces/comic book ads/retro logos....etc
After accumulating a 3 foot tall pile of them,I got bored and began to cross genres,
and attempted to make them more collage-like and as separate art pieces in themselves....Here's a page from a series of about 30-40 i did cross-breeding
Tiki art and ephemera and Science Fiction pulps/comics...last year i posted some of my woven shirt
and boardshort prints for Hawaiian Island Creations....one of them was a Tiki Sci-Fi theme....that print was inspired by these sheets....
I was thinking of doing a separate thread here of these and just throw a couple up every week....I think you'll agree that there a good combo of art piece-collage and fun
reference! Let's hear your thoughts Gang! would you want to see a slew of these?
( i can also post my tiki ones up as well...
