With a background in advertising and printing, I’ve always had an interest in logos and copy- mostly fueled by a need for a paycheck, and an ever-increasing distain.  With respect for groups like Adbusters out of Vancouver, and guys like Ron English in Washington, DC, this is one several fake logos that I’ve done.  The “Empyre” logo floats like the Hindenburg across an advertisement sky: almighty, untouchable, and ready to burn.

Title: Empyre Logo

Medium: Mixed media with collage, paint and objects

Year: 2009

Size: 32″ x 32″

Misquoting René Descartes and using a silhouette of Rodin’s “The Thinker”, this piece reflects on advancing technology and retreating humanity.  The artwork is a hard graphic of a familiar image combines with a painterly background and dozens of rounds of live ammunition.

Title: Cogito Ergo Armo

Medium: 2 sheets of clear acrylic painted both sides, with collage, objects and live ammunition in a shadow box.

Year: 2008

Size: 64″ x 64”
