colin johnson prints
posted by the scholar on September 24th, 2007filed under: art, artists, illustration
what an extraordinary piece of art we have here, from minnesota artist colin johnson. it’s called flotsam and jetsam, a favorite phrase (and category) of mine. i love the lively colors and the slightly odd, organic figures, numbers and symbols that seem so vaguely familiar, sort of like a beck album cover…

colin is a graduate of the maryland institute college of art. he has a show october 19th - november 24th at the gardenfresh gallery in chicago.
see colin’s portfolio and bio on his website.
view the step by step process to create the amazing original collage that is this print on his flickr stream.
the prints are signed and numbered in a limited edition of 50! get ‘em while they’re hot at thumbtack press.

wow, that’s really some amazing collage work. i can’t imagine how long it must take him to make one of these.

hi bob,
you should look at his flikr stream for this — it’s an unbelieveable process!
thanks for the comment!
