These gigantic works celebrate life, community and mortality. They’re literally and figuratively very heavy.

Everything is a collaboration. If I know (of) you, you are a part of everything I do, say, paint, draw and type. If you know (of) me, I say, paint, draw and type it for you. Consequently, thank you/I’m sorry/you’re welcome.

That said, only one person can own this. Right now, it’s me but the sooner it’s out of the way, the sooner we can make more for us.

My college roommate, Bevan McShea, became my collage collaborator. Any resemblance to any flowers or skulls, alive or dead, is purely coincidental.

For some time, some of you have paid me some nice compliments about some of my moronic tweets. Now, if you pay a small sum of money, you can keep my avatar close to your heart. Twitter, American Apparel and I have teamed up (unbeknown to them) to create this many-of-a-kind @toddmarrone T-shirt. Want one?

The Devil is in the Details

In the fall of 2009, our pals at Primer Gallery hosted an art event titled Nightline. During the opening reception, I painted a GIANT paper mural. If you have a GIANT yearning for art and a GIANT empty wall but a tiny budget… drop me a line.

Matisse believed that collage was a lot like improvisational jazz. Audubon believed that birds couldn’t play the piano.

A pair of political pundits panicking and polarizing the public for pay.

The slightly quirky, very energetic, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band opened for Bishop Allen last Thursday night at the First Unitarian Church. I doodled this  Sketchy Review as I soaked in the former performance.

Look for our interview with Bishop Allen’s Justin Rice in an upcoming UsedWigs Radio Podcast.

Last night, I ventured into West Philadelphia to check out the city’s coveted avant-jazz series, Sci-Fi Philly. The first band, a spectacular jazz trio called White Rocket, compelled me to doodle my first live Sketchy Review.
