Jasper Johns
American Contemporary Art 101
Alright… for those of you who are wondering who Jasper Johns is, here is the quick and dirty version… Jasper Johns is one of the first American Contemporary Artist to begin using pop culture references in his work. One could argue that he is one of the originators of the Pop Art movement. He is most known for using imagery, such as the American Flag, Targets, and Numbers, as subjects in his work circa the 50’s and 60’s. Johns was a roommate of Rauschenberg and has even been featured (as himself) in the Simpsons… Google him!
This imagery is part of a new body of work that Shepard is working on, focusing on American Pioneers in art, music, and culture. Stay tuned as more revolutionary portraits are on the way.
This is a collaboration with photographer Michael Tighe. Check out more of Michael’s work at michaeltighephotography.com. Print on sale now, Edition of 450, $55.

MIAMI 2009 Recap
We just returned from Miami with very successful trip! Not only was it nice to have a prominent place in Deitch Project’s booth at Art Basel, we had a very successful outdoor campaign as well. Working with Country Club, Wynwood Walls, and Primary Flight we covered over 3000 square feet of wall space! With special visits from Iggy Pop, George Clinton, LEE as well as fellow mural participators FUTURA and Kenny Scharf it was an amazing experience. Take a look at a few pics from our trip. Thanks to all of our ORGANIZERS and Special thanks to Martha Cooper, Hargo, Drew Katz, and Jeremiah Garcia / www.icecreamman.com for the pictures. Enjoy.
