This is the piece I created for The Telephone Game at Austin's Gallery Lombardi in July '07. I was guest curator for that show, coordinating 12 artists (including myself) from 6 cities. Read my interview about that show. View photos from the show's opening.
I created this one in Jan. '06. This piece reminded me how much I missed painting. At one point the factory was a Baghdad double decker bus. After struggling to finish this painting for several months I opted to cover the bus w/this little factory.
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.
