A lot of people have asked me about how Punk Van Gogh came into being. I started with one of Van Gogh's
self-portraits. I transferred a high-contrast black-and-white photocopy on
to a linoleum block.
Nuvia made the punk rock modifications, and I went
to work with my carving tools. I made the initial batch of prints on my
dining room table.
Then I took the block over to a friend's garage who has a big, beautiful
press made in 1885. The rest is 19th century technology at its finest!
Since
I made the print last month, Punk Van Gogh has had a charmed life.
First, it was used in a zine as part of a group show the Border Corps was involved in at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
Then the print was auctioned off at a benefit at a gallery in Little Italy. Old Vinnie Van
Gogh would be
proud!

Olime sfcnnitusmajas ning meil polnud vklakuis kunagi varem Vincent olnud aga beebile otsa vaadates polnud sel hetkel kahtlustki, et tegemist on Vincent Veike'ga.Inimesed muidu tulevad ja kfcsivad, et kas nimi tuli Vincent Van Gogh'i je4rgi vf5i Vincent Vega (John Travolta karakter Pulp Fictionis)? Vastus on ei, kuid vf5imalik et kuskil alateadvuses see siiski vf5is mf5jutada ei tea ju seda te4pselt . Samas ei saa mainimata je4tta, et Vincent Gallo on 100% vinge kunstiinimene ning Vincent Cassel on fclicool ne4itleja ning ega Vincenti nimeline papufirmagi halb pole Aga fcks on selge ning see on tulevik on Vincent Veike pe4ralt VA:F [1.9.11_1134]please wait...Hinnang: 5.0/5 (1 h l loetud)
