#California Airbrush Art

"Strength In Numbers (Bunny Avalanche)" 12 x 12 inches acrylic gouache on board 2023

UPDATE: SOLD!

Kozy - We sent this painting off to be in an exhibition at COREY HELFORD GALLERY in Los Angeles. 

Bunnies have been a recurring character in our artwork since the very first year of our career working together.  Dan sketched up this illustration in December as the year of the Tiger (2022) was drawing to a close, and the year of the Rabbit (2023) was about to begin so as to commemorate this new lunar year, as well as “celebrate the power of cooperation to overcome daunting odds!” (Those are his words, I think he just wanted to draw more rabbits for all you @kozyndan rabbit fans out there!). 

This work was made using the same process as the “California Bunnywave” - Dan drew the lines and colored it just how he imagined the final art to look in Procreate and then printed that illustration for me to trace the basic lines onto a 12 x 12 inch cradled board and then paint with acrylic gouache. I got use my new toy, a little USB chargeable airbrush, again for this painting. This is now my second time using an airbrush and its been fun to explore the new tool as I used it to make the snow in this painting. I tried to stick close to what Dan imagined and just got lost in the process - figuring our how to make the snow, and then all the brush painted lifework afterwards. Its actually a quite meditative process for me - and I find myself listening to a lot of meditative sort of podcasts and music while I do this kind of painting process. It was a lovely way to finish out the year! The “Art Collector Starter Kit” exhibition opened January 28th, 2023.Happy new Year to Everyone!!! 

We are so grateful for your support!

[ID: An digital illustration evocative of the singing flowers in Disney's Alice In Wonderland, with airbrush shaded backgrounds but coloured line cell-shading for the main figure. The flower is a California Poppy with the face of Garfield. In pink tilted letters in the upper left corner is "March" over a turquoise hand-drawn looking font with "2024." End ID.]

Finally got an over-three-hour playlist, bits of spring means ups and downs and sad wet cat feelings along with the manic joy of the days getting longer. I've mentioned this before but every time I hear All Saints' "Love Lasts Forever" part of me thinks it is the theme song to *Highlander*. Bless my brain where there's some pop girl version of *Highlander*. Can you imagine?!

Related media to some of the songs:

The very awesome Cola Boyy died this month at 34, which is not enough years but I'm glad we were given what we did. His disco pop is a joy and his cover of 'To Be Rich Should Be a Crime' is the version that lives in my head. Here's a mini-doc over on Vimeo that came out with that single.

I stumbled across Tele Novella this month and they hit a lot of sound boxes for me. "Eggs in one Basket" has an appropriately weird video. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTB-uwAd0v8)

I'd heard "Pump Up the Volume," of which Colorbox was part (primary part, for this song) before because I'm a person living in the world the years I have, but somehow hadn't encountered "The Moon Is Blue"?! One of those bands for whom things went right then fell apart. Wolfgang Tillmans did an exhibition collecting their work in a "playback room" exhibition.

I remain fond of younger folks reinterpreting the imagery and sound from my high school years and Lauran Hibberd hits that. See 2nd prettiest girl as an example.

Anyway here's a link to March's playlist on Spotify, with the track list below the cut.

Click here for my posts about MTV and here for Fred/Alan’s MTV work.

The first MTV poster. Summer 1981. 

I’ve been searching for this poster (or at least a file of it) for almost 20 years. It was the first poster we did for MTV in the summer of 1981, and maybe because it was in a somewhat outdated style it sort of got sidelined and I didn’t save it.

We were so late in finalizing the MTV logo pretty much all of the promotional merchandise that we put together to promote ourselves to record companies, music managers, advertisers and cable operators (and of course, ourselves) were rushed. Consequently, even though our logo animations were leading the channel into what became our loose, illustrative design style for MTV’s first few years, the earliest stuff was a bit of a hodge podge that we thought might work.

Artist David Willardson led the 70s California based music business through an innovative era by reviving the airbrush and using it to give a unique spin to 12″ vinyl album covers, which had generally been either photography of the musicians or abstract illustrations. By the end of the decade it was the cool way to showcase music. By 1980 he’d partnered with artist Charles White III in the Willardson+White studio in Los Angeles. Around the time we started thinking about MTV, Manhattan Design –Pat Gorman, Frank Olinsky and Patti Rogoff– had started their studio in the spare room behind a tai chi studio above Bigelow Chemists in New York’s Greenwich Village. I’d grown up with Frank and one thing led to another and we hired the team to design our logo. 500 tries later not only did we have the ‘M’ we had our main designers for the first several years of the network.

Because of the speed at which we needed to ramp up once we settled on the logo weeks before our August 1, 1981 launch led to a lot of creative decisions that would have little effect on the overall approach we’d eventually take to design on the channel.

This poster, which fit into the prevailing record business of the past decade, would really be in complete opposition to my thinking for our channel. Which was, simply put, that MTV: Music Television needed to be the leader of the music biz –hell! the entire culture!– MTV needed to be what was next. It’s a great poster, a wonderful illustration, to be sure (well, I probably would’ve left off the artists; within about a month after our debut, most of them would be yesterday’s news). But, if you take a look at some of our other work, you might agree that with this piece we definitely hadn't become “next.” Yet.

PS: This poster led to one really stupid design decision on my part which plagued the production groups for several years. In my attempt to be organized and professional with respect to design, I took a cue from this poster’s type design, a variation of the Kabel family of typefaces. I insisted that all our on-air typography use Kabel, taking the choice out of individual designers. The typeface wasn’t really suitable to early 1980s television technology, but I insisted. Dumb!

Click here for my posts about MTV and here for Fred/Alan’s MTV work.

.....

…::: Addendum (July 7, 2023): I thought Manhattan Design had originally told me this poster illustration was done by Charles White III of Willardson+White. Through some research that I didin’t pay attention to –that is, I never looked carefully at the credits at the bottom right of the poster!– it turns out the artist was actually Mick McGinty.

So, I reached out to Mick’s website and got this note back from his son Jobey: 

Hey Fred...we actually still have the original, and I have a print hanging in my home studio. It's one of my absolute favorites that Dad did, myself being a guitar player as well. 

I would love more information on it if you have some, and I will gladly send you photos of the original. Dad had it hanging in his studio for about 20 years, but then it hung in my bedroom during high school, until I moved out and it went back to his studio. While I was in high school, Dad was offered a pretty large sum for it...he said I could use the money to go to college, haha, but I lacked some ambition and decided to keep it...and this was in 1996 or 1997. 

Most of Dad's illustrations are going to go to Heritage Auction in August [2023]. 

So glad to hear from you and meet you...anytime I get to have contact with someone that my Dad worked with it's always a huge gift and blessing to me. Jobey

My response: 

Oboy! What a nice note, thanks so much! 

As it turns out, persistence is a quality that can work out once in a while. I found the poster on a rare rock poster site from Germany, of all things. It got sent to me right as I came down with a serious medical condition, and now that I'm OK, I'll be able to finally open the box!! Looking forward to getting it linen backed and framed.

I'll tell you what I know of the poster, given that I was the client rather than the commissioner, Hope it's helpful.

I was the original creative director at MTV. About a year before we launched on August 1, 1981, my creative partner (eventually, my business partner) Alan Goodman and I commissioned Manhattan Design to create a logo for the channel-to-be. (Actually, I went to my childhood friend, Frank Olinsky, who had been a fantastic artist since I met him at 5 years old, and not for nothing, a lifelong music fanatic. He'd just started a design collective with two others, Pat Gorman and Patti Rogoff, and the assignment broadened to their firm. Which, by the way, was housed in a storage room behind a tai chi studio above Bigelow Chemists, on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan.) It took at a year of over 500 comps before we were satisfied with the eventual, final logo.

The final corporate approval of the design went on way too long and by the time we asked Manhattan Design to come up with our launch poster (mostly for the cable operators we needed to put the channel on their systems, and advertisers we needed to give us their money to survive). Frank thought Willardson+White would be the right shop for the illustration (Frank himself was a fantastic illustrator, kind of out the Seymour Chwast style, but he had become sick of his own work and preferred designing) –after all, airbrush was the most exciting thing to happen to 70s album design, and pop design in general– and after they sketched out a comp, you dad did the fabulous work.

Honestly, until I stumbled upon the information that your father illustrated the poster, I was completely in the dark about it. I think Manhattan Design told me it was Charlie White who did it, but maybe I misremember, or possibly they told me a name they thought would impress me. 

After the poster was printed (in a very small quantity) we went on to the main work of the channel. Personally, I was interested in moving past the styles of the 70s, not just in album design, but in animation design too. My boss wanted everything to look "modern," by which he meant the kind of Star Wars style of computer controlled animation and, of course, the airbrush kind of thing. I loved both of those things, but I felt like MTV needed to forge its own path, and not follow anything else. How would we be considered special if we were followers? When he said "Star Wars" I blurted out I wanted us to look like Gumby –claymation– and convinced him we couldn't afford the more expensive stuff (claymation was way out of the mainstream by the 80s, and I let him know that the studios needed the work and would do stuff for us at a budget more in line with what we could afford).

Bob Pittman –my MTV boss– left us alone, creatively and it gave us a chance to work on Frank to do our work in a more flat illustrative direction; he could execute that personally. Reluctantly, and given the startup budgets we were working with at the beginning –it took several years for the channel to be financially successful– Manhattan Design steered us right into the pocket I was looking for, and it helped make us famous during the first decade.

Anyhow, that's what I know. If there's anything else you're curious about lemme know, it'll probably ping my brain to things I've forgotten.

Take care, sincerely, Fred

"DRIP, DRIP, DRIP" GOES THE CHERRY LIQUID-CENTERED FILLING.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on an airbrushed poster design titled "This is Why You're Overweight," artwork by Californian designer/illustrator Peter Palombi, c. 1976.

PIC #2: Cover art to "Overspray: Riding High with the Kings of California Airbrush Art" (2008) deluxe art book, edited by Norman Hathaway, Dan Nadel. Text by Mike Salisbury. Cover image based on the "This is Why You're Overweight" (1976) airbrush piece By Peter Palombi.

BOOK OVERVIEW: ""Overspray" is the conclusive account of the rise of airbrush art, and of the equally bright and glossy Los Angeles culture alongside which it came to prominence in the 1970s. Inspired by surf graphics, psychadelia and the slick shine of Hollywood, a generation of young artists began to make every lip and palm tree glisten, and every record cover shine.

Fueled by a combination of intense demand, sleepless nights and brutal competition, the four men at the center of L.A.'s airbrush art market -- Charles E. White III, Peter Palombi, Dave Willardson and Peter Lloyd -- embarked on careers encompassing work for "Playboy," Levi's, the Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart and major studio films including "American Graffiti" and "Tron."

Together, their work came to define the look of illustrative graphics for a generation of viewers. This book tells the story of these four artists for the first time through hundreds of images of the artists' best and best-known work, unseen production roughs, documentary photographs and other ephemera.

Viewed now, their surreal, funny and utterly slick imagery seems all the more fantastic -- combining technical precision with wild flights of imagination that bring to mind the work of some of today's top artists, from Takashi Murakami to Matthew Barney. Essay by Mike Salisbury, acclaimed designer of everything from Disney logos to "Jurassic Park" ad campaigns to "Sassy" magazine."

Meet the Latinx Artists Taking Airbrushing to the Next Level

Meet the Latinx Artists Taking Airbrushing to the Next Level

How it started…

“I got my airbrush compressor maybe five years ago. Right before, I started commuting from Bakersfield to LA for this photo lab I used to work at, so I didn’t have any time to play with it back then. But when I finally moved out here and then found myself freelancing for a bit because of COVID, I picked it back up. I started making clothes for myself, and then friends and random people I would run into would be like, ‘Oh, are you selling that?’ And I was like, ‘No—but I could be.’ So it just kind of took off from there.”

The inspiration…

“Betty Boop, Pink Panther, anything vintage and cartoonish. I just love tapping into that because it’s so playful and specific but can also hold an underlying message. For example, you can spot Betty Boop anywhere, but many people don’t know the origin of the character, so instead of erasing her identity like it’s been done before, I’ll make a point to represent her as a person of color.”

What’s next…

“I recently collaborated with Keyla Marquez on a collection of zoot suits as one of 10 featured artists. I love how everyone’s style is so different. As for right now, I’m in the middle of wrapping things up on my book, Not Urz, that’s going to be released October 15 with Beyond the Streets.”

A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute and recipient of the Yale Norfolk fellowship, Ayala creates work that documents and reflects on the working-class Latinx experience in Southern California. His paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States and beyond, including the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Jeffrey Deitch in New York, and the Aishti Collection in Lebanon.

Photo Manipulation 

Photo manipulation involves transforming or altering a photograph using various methods and techniques to achieve desired results. Some photo manipulations are considered skillful artwork while others are frowned upon as unethical practices, especially when used to deceive the public.

used for political propaganda, or to make a product or person look better, or simply for entertainment purposes or harmless pranks.

some photo manipulations are considered an art form because it involves the creation of unique images and in some instances, signature expressions of art by photographic artists.

Other examples of photo manipulation include retouching photographs using ink or paint, airbrushing, double exposure, piecing photos or negatives together in the darkroom, scratching instant films, or through the use of software-based manipulation tools applied to digital images.

“Photo Manipulation.” 2022. Encyclopedia.pub. October 24, 2022. https://encyclopedia.pub/entry/30879#:~:text=Other%20examples%20of%20photo%20manipulation.

I agree with the information above, and it is the first thing that comes to me when I think about photo manipulation. However, there is more to reference regarding manipulation, like in other articles. Physical and verbal communication, for example, plays a role in photography manipulation, such as changing the context of an image or misleading, as I learned in the film How Photographs Can Tell Lies.

For example, the migrant mother image.  The iconic photograph described as "three kids leaning on their mother, and her eyes bear all the weight" is the story of a migrant woman who is a single working mother. Becoming the face of American poverty. However, after her husband died, she was a single mother of six children for a time, and then she remarried, causing her to move from farm to farm job. When the car's timing belt snapped one day, the family came to a standstill just outside the pea-picker camp. Her husband then went to a nearby town to acquire a new one, leaving Florence to prepare food for her children. Where the 'Migrant Mother' photograph was captured known now as Destitute Pea Pickers in California.

She wasn't a destitute pea picker battling to survive and feed her children; she was waiting for her husband to return.

This example demonstrates that photo modification affects how people view images. Having inaccurate information and changing the entire reality behind the images changes a photograph, not in appearance, but in how someone interprets the image.

Finding Beauty at Makeup Schools

Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder. That’s what some makeup artists might tell you, referring to the demands of their clients. Makeup artists agree that it can be difficult at times to create the right look to satisfy some, but the end result of enhancing beauty is the most rewarding part of the creative process. Makeup schools will help train for this exciting career.

Career Switch

Margina Dennis became restless while working in the high tech industry. She needed something different in her life. So about 12 years ago, she made the career switch by taking classes from a professor at one of the California makeup schools. It was a bit unnerving for Dennis. “I went from working at a structured environment to not knowing when my next job would be,” she remembers. But she took classes and earned her certificates to embark upon her makeup career.

Makeup schools give you the chance to learn about a lot of different areas. Dennis took classes in TV, film, and print, learning multicultural and period makeup, art history, and airbrush techniques. Now, with her makeup education, Dennis works on photo shoots and commercials. “Most of the work I do is very simple beauty makeup,” she says. She has also done celebrity makeup for VAL KILMER and MONTEL WILLIAMS and for magazine spreads, including Teen Vogue and People.

And that’s just in her spare time. Dennis also works as the beauty editor for LA’G Magazine, doing product reviews, writing, and working with all aspects that involve beauty. “It takes up a lot of time,” she says. “But I enjoy seeing the end product of what I’ve done.”

Makeup Schools and Jobs

According to the Bureau Labor of Statistics, makeup artists had a mean yearly wage of $32,660 in 2005, with the highest number of reported workers situated in California. By attending makeup schools, one may increase their chances of getting one of the higher paying jobs available in the industry. And makeup artists can work on various projects, such as salons, the movie and television industry, and as freelancers.

Practice Makes Perfect

Kylie Evans has had a love of makeup ever since the day she was born. And she realized it more and more each time she made up a friend in middle school or helped her friends with makeup for prom. It’s no surprise, then, that Evans took her passion and turned it into a makeup career. Her advice to succeeding with your makeup education? “Practice on anyone who will let you,” she explains. “Keep practicing your craft and your talent and each time, you’ll find […] your own way.”

In high school, Evans began her Makeup School in Virginia career by working at a chain in Tennessee, known as Ross the Boss. It was here that she was able to acquire lots of experience and become “more well-rounded” so that she’d have the appropriate background to get the most out of what makeup schools have to offer.

The Curse of the Green Man

Artist Peter Ledger, the man behind the face of his unique tombstone found in Oakhill Cemetery in Oakhurst, was born in Australia in 1945 and grew to fame as a graphic artist, creating imaginative hand-painted and airbrushed illustrations. In the late 1970s, he won awards for his advertising posters and album cover art, and during his stint at Marvel Comics, he created the series “Warriors of the Shadow Realm.” He later worked in Hollywood on storyboards and designs that have become coveted collectors’ items. In 1983, he moved to California with his American wife, Christy Marx, also an artist, and they eventually made their home in Oakhurst. On November 18, 1994, while driving home from Monterey, Ledger was hit by a tractor-trailer and died on impact. 

His son, Julian who works in the film industry doing special effects, created Peter Ledger’s one-of-a-kind bronze headstone; to cast the form of his head, Julian used a real life mask his father had made in the 1980s. Julian also meticulously sculpted a poem Ledger himself wrote in 1991 with the intent of it being used as his epitaph, along with various symbols that were meaningful to him: clouds (he was an amateur pilot with a love of flying), an eagle logo (Ledger designed it), Greek and Spartan helmets (which often featured in his artwork), grape vines (he had a passion for food and wine), and Celtic knot work (among other mediums, Ledger also worked with leather). 

According to a Web site posted by Ledger’s widow, Christy Marx (www.christymarx.com/ledger/memorial.htm), an interesting story-”The Curse of the Green Man”-goes along with this exceptional headstone, which took two years to create. While the tombstone was still a work in progress, Marx placed a sculpture of a mythic Celtic character called the Green Man, which Ledger had purchased, on his grave site to mark it. This Green Man was subsequently stolen, angering Marx, who took out the following ad in the Personals section of the local newspaper: 

To the person or persons whole stole the head of the Green Man from my husband’s grave. My husband was an artist. He painted this Green Man with his own hands to look like aged bronze. I placed it on his grave as a temporary marker and you took it. 

Only the lowest form of scum would desecrate a grave. If you have any shred of decency, you will return the Green Man to Oakhill Cemetery where he belongs. If you do not, you are thrice-cursed. Cursed once for defiling the dead, cursed again as a thief, and finally the Curse of the Green Man is upon you which will bring you misfortunate, bad luck and misery for the rest of your days. 

Return what you have stolen or never know peace again. 

Marx notes that a Fresno TV station saw the ad and featured her story on the local news-and the very next day, the Green Man had been returned to its rightful place. 

Ironically, the bronze face of Peter has now returned to an eerie shade of patina green, due to the oxidation-we assume.

Address: Houston, Texas, USA

Meredith O'Neal is an artist local to Houston, Texas. She creates oil and watercolor paintings of subjects found in nature, as well as expressive representations of the human form. She offers fine prints and stationary of her original paintings.

About me:

My artistic passion for painting started when I was in my first year of college.  I was always going to major in art (drawing at the time), but paint seemed so intimidating to me.  I took a summer painting class and fell in love with the lush way of oil paints....the movement and colors.  Things became pretty clear to me after that.  I knew this would be my passion and lifelong career.  I received my undergraduate degree at Texas State University in both Painting and Photography.   I then moved to California and received a masters degree in painting at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2012.  I have since moved back to Texas where I now live and work near Houston, TX as a full time artist with my husband and two young children.  We enjoy spending as much time as we can on our ranch property in Huntsville, Texas.  It is there that I find a lot of my artistic inspiration and can often be found on nature walks exploring the grounds, observing wildlife, and collecting old cow bones and plants.

"Strength In Numbers (Bunny Avalanche)"  12 x 12 inches  acrylic gouache on  2023 

 Kozy - We just sent this painting off to be in an exhibition at corey helford gallery in Los Angeles. Bunnies have been a recurring character in our artwork since the very first year of our career working together.  Dan sketched up this illustration in December as the year of the Tiger (2022) was drawing to a close, and the year of the Rabbit (2023) was about to begin so as to commemorate this new lunar year, as well as “celebrate the power of cooperation to overcome daunting odds!” (Those are his words, I think he just wanted to draw more rabbits for all you @kozyndan rabbit fans out there!). 

 This work was made using the same process as the “California Bunnywave” - Dan drew the lines colored it just how he imagined the final art to look in @procreateapp and then printed that illustration for me to trace the basic lines onto a 12 x 12 inch cradled board and then paint with acrylic gouache. I got use my new toy, a little USB chargeable airbrush, again for this painting. This is now my second time using an airbrush and its been fun to explore the new tool as I used it to make the snow in this painting. I tried to stick close to what Dan imagined and just got lost in the process - figuring our how to make the snow, and then all the brush painted lifework afterwards. Its actually a quite meditative process for me - and I find myself listening to a lot of meditative sort of podcasts and music while I do this kind of painting process. It was a lovely way to finish out the year! If you are interested in buying this original painting, please contact the gallery!

Mark “Mister Cartoon” Machado 

Mark Machado better known as Mr. Cartoon or more commonly just Cartoon, is an American tattoo artist and graffiti artist based in Los Angeles, California. Growing up in the Harbor area of Los Angeles County, young Cartoon began airbrushing T-shirts and Lowrider cars before adopting the "Fineline Style" tattoo art style, which was developed in the California prison system.

​

Mister Cartoon is a renowned tattoo artist that has been know to "ink" famous celebrities from Beyonce to 50 cent to Kobe Bryant. This was the ultimate reason I stumbled across Cartoons work and his distinct style, where he draws and paints figures and objects that are significant to his heretical culture and the street culture he was raised around. I like his style as it peaks my interest and I find it relatable to my art practices and life story.

​

The clowns that show up in a lot of his artwork is linked to both a cultural Mexican figure called Paiaso/Paiasa, and also a very very famous quote amongst the LA street culture. "Smile Now, Cry Later".  The art style is mixed with Mexican culture and graffiti art and I feel as if this style and what Cartoon portrays in his art is really specific and easy to click on.

New York Yankees Vs Houston Astros Game 2 MLB ALCS 2022 Postseason Classic shirt

“Betty Boop, Pink Panther, anything vintage and cartoonish. I just love tapping into that because it’s so playful and specific but can also hold an underlying message. For example, you can spot Betty Boop anywhere, but many people don’t know the New York Yankees Vs Houston Astros Game 2 MLB ALCS 2022 Postseason Classic shirt so you should to go to store and get this origin of the character, so instead of erasing her identity like it’s been done before, I’ll make a point to represent her as a person of color.” “I recently collaborated with Keyla Marquez on a collection of zoot suits as one of 10 featured artists. I love how everyone’s style is so different. As for right now, I’m in the middle of wrapping things up on my book, Not Urz, that’s going to be released October 15 with Beyond the Streets.” A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute and recipient of the Yale Norfolk fellowship, Ayala creates work that documents and reflects on the working-class Latinx experience in Southern California. His paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States and beyond, including the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Jeffrey Deitch in New York, and the Aishti Collection in Lebanon. “Growing up with my family in Southern California. The first time I ever saw airbrushing being used as a tool was probably related to my father’s interest in cars and lowriders. I also have memories of me as a child going with my mom and grandma to the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet and seeing people get airbrushed T-shirts on the spot or going to the salon with them and watching the person doing their nails bust out an airbrush gun to apply these small stencil designs.”
