Excellent! Even better than the last one. I can hear the Whip Whip Whip of the propellers as the Grumble armada (right word choice?) approach overhead. Have you noticed that despite the colours and levity of the characters, your themes are often related to the more serious matters of life and death, or creation and destruction? I like that. I like the ironical nature of your work (probably not the right word choice). I visualize these scenes bound into a book of adventures.
Like most American children of the 80's, Jason (Speedway J) Graham grew up on a steady diet of Atari, Saturday morning cartoons and MTV. A natural born artist, he won his first art show blue ribbon at the tender age of five and has been drawing and painting ever since. As an only child growing up in the boring suburbs of Dallas, Texas, 70's rock album art became his closest friend. He inundated himself with painting and design while earning his degree in communication design from Texas A&M - Commerce. His visual influences range from the simplicity of Paul Rand, Saul Bass, road side signage and Dr. Seuss to the complexity of M.C. Escher and Robert Rauschenberg.
