Trust me. The new work that Steve Walters (Screwball press) has been doing is freaking mindblowing in person. I see it develop every day as I share printing space with him and the work is right on. Check out these 2 new ones for Fucked Up : (printed on translucent paper w/ patient card attached like a real X-Ray) and Big Business. Irreverent and superbly crafted as is to be expected. The Fucked Up poster is available for sale, although not many are left.
Dan Grzeca is a Chicago-born illustrator and printmaker (b. 1968). He has been screenprinting since the mid-nineties, contributing to the nascent and then burgeoning roster of Chicago Poster makers by creating a visual documentation of the Free and Improvised music being made by Ken Vandermark, The Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet,and Caffeine among others. He has gone on to make work for big, famous bands, but still gets the most satisfaction out of making work that ties into music produced by talented friends. His idiosyncratic style is achieved using pencil and scratchboard drawing techniques which are then transferred to screens for multi-layered printing. Dan spends a lot of time thinking about the screenprinting process in both a painterly and stripped down way, attempting to achieve aesthetic freedom by limiting choices in the composition process. Success to him is measured by visual boldness, stark imagery, subtle color layers, and ink-stained clothing.
