May has been the month of pop art shows! I have been invited by Kareem Rizk to be one of the artists in a group art show. The show is titled "Retroism" and it will be showing at Retrospect Gallery in Byron Bay, Australia. The opening will be May 21, 2010 from 6-9PM.

The show features a talented group of artists including Nick Morris, Kareem Rizk, Julien Pacaud, Eduardo Recife, Cecil Touchon, Mario Wagner, Charles Wilkin, Handiedan, Sunny Belliston Taylor, Tez Humphreys, and Falling Ruin.

If you happen to be lucky enough to be in Byron Bay, Australia be sure to catch the show.

The artwork of Nick Morris.

Today I received an e mail from Australian artist Nick Morris in reference to my artwork. He directed me to his website of his personal work and I am instantly a fan. Morris' work is a collage of icons of Americas' past. He uses screenprint, collaged paper ephemera, painting, and resin to create solid compositions that take me back in time.

In Morris' CV he states that his work is a culmination of lots of beer, muscle cars, Playboy magazines, soap opera-type romance, football and a few tough guys. TV was also a big influence with the likes of the Bionic Man, Planet of the Apes and the Brady Bunch being indelibly etched in my mind. It was not just the images themselves but the feelings associated with those images.

I think that he has nailed it perfectly and I hope to see his work in person someday!
