POP Art Show in Anchorage…
The flyer (created by the very talented and smart Lee Post) for the upcoming POP Exhibition in Anchorage, celebrating what came before, in terms of what we’d like to see….
And I have a piece in the show, see below, the Element Lad piece. It was great fun to do.
At the MTS, April 17th. Check it out!!!!

Another Stencil…
Really, need I say more? It’s all meant in fun, and create the word in a positive light. I do find it offensive to hear it used as an insult and a negative, then hear it attached to myself.
C’mon, now….

Element Lad…
Who’s Element Lad? Why, up until recently just another closeted super hero living a thousand years in the future… I would think there aren’t too many left in the closet then, as we as a species seem to be progressing in acceptance and supporting each other.
I was very into the Legion of Super Heroes as a kid. I loved the comic, the art back then, what it was about. All these teenagers from all these different planets coming together for truth and justice, with all these different, creative abilities. There was Dream Girl (who could see the future, and was hot), Timber Wolf (who was super agile, strong and fast, and hot), Star Man (who could make things super heavy), Light Lass (figure it out…), and on and on.
It was well written, and provided a great escape. Comics weren’t SO violent back then; there was a sense of adventure. I still love the medium, it inspired me so much, taught me anatomy (I spent hours drawing what I saw in those pages) and gave me much manna for my daydreams.
This piece here I made for the POP! show in Anchorage, the theme of the show being what you wanted to see from back in the day, growing up. This character (unbeknownst to me) had a big gay following, and was considered the ‘gay one,’ so I brought him out. He seems happy to be so…. It is a lot easier that way.
