sketchville 2 the electric boogaloo

 When keeping a sketchbook I tend to just open a page and work on it. It really does not matter if there is something else drawn or written. I respond to and create images that are richly layered and organically formulated.This volume ended in a little after I moved to Italy and includes some amendments as well a copious amounts of cock.

I made this print in 2010, It was part of a series called "The Meat Chaser". In particular my grandmothers first job in Saudi Arabia after she left my grandfather.

Around the same time I co-founded a production studio with cousin Davide called co and co.  This is the final logo. It is a composit of transfer letters vinyl tape and stamp. On the left is the logo before being turned into the single color print on the right. I made a few photocopies to explore  placement of the production studio script, those photocopies ended up in my studio.
