Dan May

Dan May’s been finding the humor in the world of power, politics, entertainment, and religion for the past twenty years in his design work for Fortune 500 companies, as well as his personal work. In that vein, his ironic pieces parodying the nuclear civil defense posters of the 1950s entitled ’Thank God for the Atomic Bomb,” and ‘Dr. Mutato Explains it all," was published in the "International Show Against Nuclear Testing,” Catalog as well as being part of the United Nations exhibition in New York and Vienna in 2016.

Pieces of his work Pin Ball Philosophy Series were featured in the 'New York Now' exhibition in 2015 where he depicted religious icons as the subject matter in pinball game displays. He has exhibited in a variety of traditional print, and digital mediums appearing in shows in Sofia, Bulgaria where a series of screen prints were exhibited in an International Juried Exhibition, while two of his paintings were included in Barcelona’s 2017 Exhibition. His “popes as candy wrappers” series was included in a group show in Rome in 2017, and he has been part of group exhibitions in Los Angeles, CA, for an underground poster art show, Denver CO, Portland OR, St. Louis MO, and San Francisco CA in the AIGA Compost Modern Show...
