Eyeballs are so universal, they always seem to be saying something. Eyes like to see eyes, and gravitate right to them. These eyes tell me that there is more than one direction from which to view anything. After I painted it, I decided to use fewer eyes in my eyeball dominated work. There is a time and a place for an eyeball, and not everything revolves around them. A good vision is like icing on the cake.

Balls.
Big balls.
I could talk about big balls,
but AC/DC said it all.

Oops, wrong holiday. Anyway, here is a poster I did for a Philly bar where my friend Kevin likes to drink. It's in Northern Liberties and has a very nice, local feel. They are famous for their costume parties, so here is my addition to the fun. I really like the excitement that comes with finishing one of these posters. I've posted a bunch of my old ones at Lauerart.com if you're curious what they used to look like back in the 1990s. Although I'm a big fan of color and paints, I sure do love ink! It's stark and it says so much with so little effort. Black against white has a way of burning its contrast into your brain like no other image. Forget those cones. Rods baby, rods. Hot rods. Hot, rods stroked by the luscious body of Lindsay and her beautiful shape. Mmmm, Lindsay ...

This is a compilation of many of my drawings and paintings from over the years. The music is some wacky stuff I recorded with my friends at 552 Ashbury Street in San Francisco while I lived there near the corner of Haight and Ashbury for a couple of years. Some of the pictures are indecipherable, but I think the weird overwhelming experience of seeing all this stuff at once is kind of fun and psychedelic. It's mostly chronological, so you can get a sense of how primitive my stuff was when I started drawing when I was in my late teens. Then comes my cartoons from the University of Delaware's student newspaper, The Review. Next are my posters for Slim's. Then there are some of my cartoons from my magazines Edge City and Anthem. Then my paintings add a little color to the picture. Have a nice trip!
