Jason Hsu

Showpaper is pleased to present 'Cosmic Cat' by Jason Hsu for Issue 66.  "Cosmic Cat" is a visual play on western portraiture in which a cartoon-y cat is depicted in her finery.

Epoch of No Place: Land of the Pleasure Machines volumes 1 and 2
by
Saya Woofalk

Issue 65
November 4th - November 18th

Showpaper is pleased to present Epoch of No Place: Land of the Pleasure Machines volumes 1 and 2 by Saya Woofalk. Woofalk's four panels each frame individual episodes of No Place; a world where a creature made of trees eats the pink bubbles emitted from nuclear plants. Together the panels show a broad landscape of land and sea; both above and below ground. Her work recombines material from various realms of the visual—pop-culture, ritual, and street-spectacle-- to build a reality which catalogues and critiques our own. Gouache on paper, 30" x 40" per panel, 2009.

Born in 1979 in Gifu, Japan, Saya Woolfalk splits her time between New York City and Nashville, Tennessee. Woolfalk holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a BA from Brown University, and completed the Whitney ISP. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at PS1/MoMA; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art; the Studio Museum in Harlem; and Momenta Art. Woolfalk received an ArtMatters grant for research in Japan, a NYFA Fellowship for performance, a Fulbright for research in Brazil, and Joan Mitchell Foundation MFA Fellowship. She has also been an artist in residence at Skowhegan, Yaddo, Sculpture Space, and the Studio Museum in Harlem. With support from Franklin Furnace, Harvestworks, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the Puffin Foundation a piece she developed with University at Buffalo Art Gallery, A Ritual of the Empathics, will travel to the Studio Museum in Harlem for Performa09. She is also currently working on a solo project commissioned by Tufts University Art Gallery. www.sayawoolfalk.com

Roope Eronen

Issue 64
October 22nd to November 4th

Showpaper is pleased to present the third and final pick by Jan Anderzén; Roope Eronen. Eronen's Halloween appropriate piece shows zombies overtaking an otherwise ideal universe. The scene is displayed in a cutaway view of a mountainous land, and a watery underground flooded with the undead. Where as the underground dwelling dolphins and their environment are rendered in a flat and saturated style, the zombies are detailed and sketchy- giving more life to the fantasy than the familiar.

Roope Eronen is a Finnish musician and comic artist. He has been releasing his comics and drawings in Glömp, Kuti and NK among others. Roope's comic album "Animals" was released by Huuda Huuda in September 2009. He's a member of productive comic studio Kutikuti in Helsinki. Roope plays music in such bands as Avarus and Maniacs Dream, and plays solo as Nuslux.

This issue is 3 of 3 curated by Kemialliset Ystävät (Finnish for "Chemical Friends"). It is also the name of a recording project of musician Jan Anderzén, who began recording under the name in 1995 and has produced countless recordings since with numerous other musicians and as solo projects. Find out more @ kemiallisetystavat.com.

Aron Wahl

Issue 61
September 9th to September 23rd

Showpaper is pleased to present Issue 61 with a cover by Aron Wahl. Wahl's Illustration depicts four cyborgs casually seated on a levitating branch, and surrounded by a blurred background of pink and yellow leopard print. Each creature has pieces of their body missing or replaced by a sprouting branch. At the bottom of the image, a hand is extended towards the perched cyborgs, as though the viewer himself had sprouted a limb for a songbird to rest on.

Aron Wahl is the main illustrative face of Big A little a, a never-ending rhythm experiment based out of Brooklyn (as well as being one of their main participants). He lives in New York, and Showpaper was proud to have a few of his pieces on display in our art show at The Arm Gallery in Williamsburg last summer. Check out sleeep.com for more work by Aron Wahl and more info on Aa.

Max Eisenberg

Issue #60
August 26th to September 8th

Showpaper is pleased to present Max Eisenbergs fan art for Macronympha. Eisenberg expresses his devotion to Macronympha by painstakingly rendering the members' portraits on binder paper, and then pissing on their heads. He elaborates on this thought with the inscription 'scum, noise, bliss, life'. As fan art as its best should be, this drawing is both a product and an expression of the subject -a noise band formed in 1990.

Max Eisenberg is a 27 year old full time weird guy from Baltimore Maryland. The streets around Max's house, the Bank, are slummy, slimey and magical. Max curates freaky shows in Baltimore and performs around America as Dj Dog Dick, a high-energy emotronic rage machine. Past artwork of Max's can be seen at his website Oceansofmissouri.com. Some of his cartoons and music can also be found at his myspace.com/alleypiss and myspace.com/thedogdick pages.

'PVH in a Small World at Lotus Land'
by
Thu Tran

Issue 58
July 29th to August 11th

Showpaper is pleased to present 'PVH in a Small World at Lotus Land' by Thu Tran. PVH...depicts a cast of characters caught in flight and on wheels in their hallucinogenic small world. The figures are all kinds of combinations of animal, vegetable and mineral; they crowd together in the foreground, facing the viewer for inspection. Their many eyeballs and malluable appendages would be nightmarish if not illustrated in such saturrated colors and framed with such friendly clouds. Two of the creatures lounge in the flowering tree, one resembling the cheshire cat, a stingray flys like a kite, and a asparagus grows next to artichokes in the grass.  PVH...was drawn in pencil with digital paint buckets. 21.5''x15.5''.

Thu Tran was born in Malaysia, raised in Cleveland OH, and presently resides in Brooklyn NY. She is also Vietnamese. She has a BFA in Glass from the Cleveland Institute of Art. Her art has been exhibited in nationally. She created and hosts a visually surreal cooking show called Food Party, which airs on the Independent Film Channel. Currently, Thu works as a prop maker for Girl Talk, and spent a good part of 2008 providing props and visuals on a 35 city tour of North America. She has also performed with art sports double-dutch team "Double Dutch will Take You Higher" and also performed as "Baby B" at Bad Brilliance shows. Thu has been profiled by the NY Times, LA Times, SF Chronicle, and was recently named to “New York’s Most Beautiful People” list by Paper Magazine, and was awarded the Out of the Box Award at the 2008 New York Television Festival for her work on Food Party.

"Translated Bribes"

by
Mark Mothersbaugh

Issue #56
July 1st to July 15th


Showpaper is pleased to present 'Translated Bribes' by Mark Mothersbaugh. During his downtime on early worldwide tours with DEVO, Mark Mothersbaugh began illustrating on postcards to send to his friends and family, which he still creates, and has been creating every day for over 30 years. The cards were originally created as his personal diaries, and were never intended for public viewing. That all changed when Mark decided to share his postcard works in his critically acclaimed solo shows during the 1980's & 1990's. 'Translated Bribes' is representative of Mothersbaugh's ease of social and aesthetic expression. His delicate illustration bears the disturbing message: 'the U.S. government will pay you. Unhappyness'.

Mark Mothersbaugh's love of art started early in his childhood, just after it was discovered that he was extremely nearsighted and legally blind. His first correctional glasses offered Mark a new view of the world, inspiring his obsession with imagery and illustrations. With DEVO, his most successful music project, Mark was able to showcase his artistic abilities on a larger scale, and to millions of people. Mark still creates music on a daily basis at Mutato Muzika, his Los Angeles based company, which is responsible for a plethora of current television, movie, and commercial scoring. For more information about mark's work please visit mutatovisual.com.

Seripop

Issue #55
June 17th to July 1st

Showpaper is pleased to present our 55th Issue featuring a cover image by Seripop. At the top edge of the piece is a comic strip showing two couples conversing through separate panels. A caption over their heads states their illegible conversation in a decorative inkblot script. In the center of the piece is a psychadelic rendering of two creatures' heads receding into a stripey distance. On Seripop's page, the combination of picaso-esque distortion and pop design is cagey, mysterious, and fun. 

Yannick Desranleau and Chloe Lum are co-lab-tastic: as visual artists they are known as Seripop, and as musicians they are part of Hamborghinni and AIDS Wolf. The duo has shown work around the world, been published in a variety of publications, and won several design awards. The founding unit of The One Hundred Sided Die, a collectively run artist studio in Montreal, Canada, Seripop is currently working on projects for England's Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, and the Newcastle Print Biennial. For information on more Seripop ventures please visit: artofseripop.blogspot.com, seripop.com, myspace.com/aidswolf, aidswolfs.blogspot.com, and theeouternet.blogspot.com.
