Sir Anthony!!!

so i was searching for some bad icons. found a few, but were arguably just a matter of taste. then, lo and behold what do i find but an undeniably enchanting awfulness circa 1997 of "Ye Castle of Anthony Thyssen, friend of dragons, collector of runic icons, flyer of kites, and sorcerer of computer magic". no joke. this is for real. a must see. i wouldnt mention this SOLEY for the purpose of making fun of some stranger 10 years ago, but you just cant help but laugh at the outdated "computer magic". oh and check out his dragon icon collection!( i cant believe i just wrote that sentence)

New Screenprints

these are 'sketches' for screenprints i will start tomorrow.

Christopher Leaves

i made this a few weeks ago with a six pack and a rake. shook fists and cursed passing cars that threatened my creation.

Early Russian Symbology

I am reallly interested in historical contexts of language and communication. Especially ones that have been lost or abandoned through time. These symbols are early 12th and 13th century asian (russian). And the crest image still communicates something today. A key would be good though.

Hobo Icons

These are some of the hobo icons for traveling trains. They communicate a wide range of viatal information whether its for a good place to sleep or if dangerous people are in the area. Ive lived with and have come to know many trainriders and it is amazing how they memorize the rail system and codes to know whether a train will take them home or somewhere very far away. The artist Basquiat also used these symbols in his paintings and drawings.
