Naïve: Modernism and Folklore in Contemporary Graphic Design
June 10, 2009 by Tes, under Uncategorized.
Naïve is 176 pages of art, drawings, paintings, cut outs and illustrations that have been inspired by minimalist designers like Saul Bass, Charley Harper and Alexander Girard. I’m honored to have a few of my paintings and illustrations included in this book – alongside some extremely talented designers and artists.
Amazon Link | More Info:
“A minimalist design vocabulary is currently being reinvented by a troop of young graphic designers who are rediscovering the stylistic elements reminiscent of classic graphic design such as silkscreen printing, classical typography, hand lettering, woodcutting and folk art and integrating them into their work. Naïve documents this extraordinary renaissance of Classic Modernism, from the 1940s to 1960s, in contemporary graphic design.
Inspired by 20th Century American legends such as Saul Bass, the undisputed master of film title design and iconic logos as well as modernist graphic artist Charley Harper and textile designer Alexander Girard, these burgeoning designers are creating new and striking imagery using palettes of earthy and pastel shades, reduced strokes, patterns and shapes with a strong folkloristic element.
Naïve illustrates this new development in graphic design, assembling a multitude of vivid and inspiring examples ranging from illustrations, poster art, editorials, book covers and record sleeves to stationary and textiles.”

Manifest Hope / “Change We Made” Obama Painting
January 5, 2009 by Tes, under Artwork, Events, Prints, Uncategorized.
ABOUT THE PAINTING – CHANGE WE MADE
I wanted to create something that reflected the hope and inspiration I feel in the election of Barack Obama – and the workforce, technology and determination that will lead us to progress. “Change We Made” is my tribute to Barack Obama and to the grass roots movement of the people who support our new President.
