I wanted the background of this one to seem very ominous and infinite. I recalled seeing this artwork from The Flaming Lips' At War With The Mystics cd.
The background of this one is a composite image I created with McDonald's Trash. I had friends/family collect the trash for me over several months. Languages on the trash include English, Spanish and Russian.
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.
