Once, while on a trip to Los Angeles, I snapped a photo of a lone unattributed wheat-paste poster on the side of an old boarded-up building. I found this weathered, raw image of Hollywood icon Faye Dunaway quite intriguing. The poster greatly contrasted Dunaway’s public image as a Star, one of Hollywood’s most famous and respected actresses. The street artist appropriated the image of Faye Dunaway on the poster from a publicity photo. The image shows Dunaway starring in the movie Mommie Dearest, in which she played another Hollywood icon and legend, Joan Crawford. I appropriated the street artist's image and created Faye as Joan. The colors of the background rectangles are light blue, dark pink, orange, and yellow. They were inspired by a poster Andy Warhol designed for the 100th anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge. The overlaying colors of the two Hollywood icons are dark orange, blue, purple, and red. At first, the mirror images may appear identical, but they are not. Slight ‘flaws’ in the image can result while transferring images onto canvas. These flaws are not mistakes, as they make each iconic image distinct from the other.

My work explores pop culture and social issues within the vast arena of pop art. These creative endeavors nearly always incorporate a dose of appropriation. Some of my work is quite graphic and singularly focused in nature. Other works tend toward collage, combining any number of images into a single painting. Utilizing images from my digital library, I incorporate symbolism, portraiture, photographs, graphics, video stills, and/or text into my work. Although some images may be familiar, I want to present the viewer with a new or unexpected context. A context that provokes thought or invokes humor. I work primarily in acrylic on canvas, incorporating an acrylic polymer image transfer technique. This technique allows me to manipulate images digitally, print them on a laser printer, and then adhere the ink from the printout onto the canvas. What intrigues and engages me about this technique are the endless opportunities presented, whether during the digital manipulation or after the image has been applied to the canvas. The images I utilize are part of the vast digitalized library I have accumulated over the years. This includes my photographs, pages from magazines and newspapers, and images from the web. My library also contains photographs I have taken of old TV programs, commercials, and current events playing on my television. Creativity has always been at the center of who I am. As a kid, my school reports always included more drawings and graphics than words. I filled my schedule in high school with as many art classes as allowed. Following high school, I studied visual communications at The Burnley School of Professional Art in Seattle and received an Associate of Applied Arts degree. After school, I did freelance graphic design work. I worked at Tower Records in Seattle as the store Display Artist. I then ran away and joined the circus, spending several years traveling and working in public relations and marketing for Cirque du Soleil. I was born and raised in Seattle and currently residing in Las Vegas. Shoot me an email with any questions or to say hi: thepopcouncil@icloud.com Instagram: @ThePopCouncil
