Hex Sign Prints

These are 17.5″x 17.5″ (2) color screen prints on 140lb French’s Pop Tone Sweet Tooth. A very limited run of 12. Get yours in the Shop.

In hex sign symbolism 8 pointed stars symbolize goodwill, tulips represent faith/trust and the sheaves of wheat symbolize abundance. This is a fairly common sign so I added the rosette to change it a bit. The single rosette is a symbol for luck, the most basic motif of hex signs and one of the most ancient designs in western culture.

Ride The Tiger

This is my submission for Sedso Design’s latest collective show featuring stencil art. I chose to pay homage to Ronnie James Dio, who lost his battle with cancer last month. The guy was as innovative as they come and even in his sixtys, still put on a better show than just about anyone. Major chops. You Sir, will be missed.

The gallery opened Friday, June 4. A second opening happens Friday, July 2, 7:00pm – Midnight. There was some really cool stuff on display, I urge you to check it out. Pieces are on sale while they last. Modestly priced originals are hard to come by…

Check out some coverage of the event at Phrequency.

Sedso Stencil Show

My friends at Sedso Design are having another collective show… Get some, I implore you.

“Place Your Are Here is a series of exhibitions created by Sedso Design. Each exhibition starts with an open call for entries, but every show has a different set of guidelines that the artist must follow to be admitted into the final show.

Submissions for our current show, Stencil, must contain artwork created using a stencil and must be presented on the 11 X 14in chipboard that will be provided by Sedso in the ‘Stencil-Materials Package.’”

More information is available here.
