Late last year, Jonathan Brebner, told me he was making a science fiction movie called “Novos.”  He explained the plot thus; thousands of years after a desperate exodus from a dying world, a band of the last remaining humans return to Earth and come into conflict with the artificial life they left behind. He asked me to make an art print to celebrate his upcoming film, and also to help raise production funding. I was intrigued with his vision of biomorphic robots and technology so advanced that it was somehow fused with nature. So here I’m bringing my “take” on Brebner’s futuristic vision, a biomorphic robot with sense-enhansing hear-gear.

Mogwai at The Regency / Psyck Italia Tour / Uncut Release

With the release of my Genova Workshop poster, I am also releasing these variations on the same theme. I felt it would be cool for you to have all the choices put in front of you, before you made a choice which prints might appeal to you. The documentation and special circumstances surrounding the Genova Workshop makes that one a very special variant of the following designs. But you decide.

Also, excuse me for being a few days later than announced releasing these, I’ve had jet-lag a little worse than expected (I’m posting this at 4:30 am haha)

Two years ago in 2010, when I passed through Genova on my “Psychedelic Secession” Tour, I promised Sara Twinn, who organized my first visit to Genova, that I would return to beautiful Genova and conduct a screen-printing workshop. It was my intention to return and teach silkscreen to anyone who would be interested to come and learn. Her friend, printmaker Jessica Rassi, made me a counter-promise. If I were to return and teach a workshop in Genova, she would teach me etching. Well, as my “Psyck Italia” spring tour to Italy took form, I wrote to Sara and told her I was ready to make good on my promise.

Sara Twinn’s record store Taxi Driver teamed up with Disorderdrama to present an ARCI Liguria sponsored event – my workshop at Spazio Cernaia – on Piazza Cernaia – hosted by Matteo, who gave me a very detailed and informative guided tour of Genova, telling me about it’s sea history, place in 16th Century European politics, it’s ingenious neo-classical democratic organization, the famed “Rolli di Genova,” while walking through the old historic center of Genova.

Little did I know that 100 people would attend my workshop, that both major Genovese newspapers would cover it, that fellow-Californian and friend Kepi Ghoulie would co-incidentally be in town to play an inspiring acoustic show at the opening, and that Genovese film-maker Davide Colombino would create a beautiful film that perfectly describes the event:

Lastly, I am excited to show you the artist proof of an aquatint etching I made with Jessica Rassi’s guidance (Jessica Rassi in the above photo) – my first etching – a very limited edition to come later this summer.
