Self Portait: Linoleum Block Print

Friday, May 6, 2011

"Dirty" Donny Giles's art reminds me of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth with his monsters and hot rods. I just bought his recently released book "Monster Revolt" that contains his artwork. He is having a book signing a week from tomorroy here in Portland at People's Art of Portland, 700 SW 5th, suite 4005, from 5-9 pm. I'm going to try and make it.

Drew Struzan: Movie Poster Illustrator

The artistic style of Drew Struzan is easily recognizable. His illustrations for movies are detailed, colorful, well designed, and the likenesses of the stars are uncanny! Struzan attended Art Center College of Design in LA, where I visited and dreamed of attending when I lived in LA at the age of 19. He has done more than 150 posters and countles illustrations with an unforgettable style and precision. A book on his art and another on his posters is available at Amazon.

Church Bulletin Art!

Ever wonder what to do during a boring sermon? Need to revert to your childhood during a simpleminded children's sermon? Need to occupy your time during the sharing about aunt so-and-so's toe operation or someone's missionary braggadocio? How about when your white congregation tries to sing African songs with about as much rhythm as a robot? Well, try new Church Bulletin Art! Just look at the graphics on your church bulletin and change the words or pictures into something more interesting! It's simple! It's easy! And it's fun! That's what I do and now I look forward to going to church every Sunday!!

Boys and girls, can you find the Mennonite Church USA logo (green bird with leaves) and the word "h-u-m-a-n" on the bulletins below? Sure you can! Just give it a try.
