This project was a collaboration between me and and artist Larry Bob Phillips (no relation) The project was in response to a public call for art created by the city of Albuquerque. The Project called for a mural in the downtown 4th street mall on the now defunct (or renamed/appropriated) Creative ABQ building. We did bot get the bid but I wanted to share the work that we did and the proposal/presentation that we created.
Johnson Cameraface did a beautiful job assembling and photographing my paper craft toys that will be featured in Light Grey Art Labs upcoming Exquisite Corpse Show (opens August 17th in Minneapolis, MN) You can see more of JC's pics below and in his set on flickr
Jesse Philips is currently living and working in Albuquerque, NM. He drew his early inspiration from comic books, Graffiti and cartoons which have remained a major influence on his work. While attending college at MCAD, Jesse spent a year studying at the Sozosha College of Design in Osaka, Japan where he became fascinated with graphic design. Jesse returned home with an interest in combining illustration with design. Creating Gig posters offered him an opportunity to to do just that while also allowing him to maintain a high level of artistic freedom.
