SCREEN-PRINTS

These are old screen prints I made last year and the year before that.


MARDI GRAS INDIANS
























Notice the Thunderbird this guy is drinking.



When I went to New Orleans I was there the same weekend as Super Sunday and I was lucky enough to see the Mardi Gras Indians. They make all of their suits over the course of the year with the help of their family and friends by sewing elaborate bead and feather work onto their costumes. These are some pictures I took while I was there. It was hard to choose which ones to show.

Hermeto Pascoal is also Brazilian and really awesome!

OS MUTANTES




These are some songs that I like and also some old Shell Oil commercials that they made for TV in the 60's!

CHARLEY HARPER








These are some of the illustrations in the new book Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life. He was from Cincinnati and recently passed away.
