My new friends at www.thethrillist.com wrote some kind words about me. Check em out'
Urbn Pop
ATL art, thoughtfully wacked-out
An artist's vision can take on bizarre forms: there was the controversial feces-dotted Virgin Mary collage in NY a few years ago, which was nothing compared to the painting with the farmer standing outside his house. Y'know, with that wife of his? And the pitchfork?!? Man, that was messed up. Unafraid to push the creative envelope, Urbn Pop.
The nom d' art of a dude who dropped out of AIA in protest when it dropped illustration for Photoshop classes, Pop turns out kooky, cartoon-styled work using recycled or reclaimed materials, which he oddly claims are entirely motivated by his feelings towards "America's most-collected living artist", QVC regular Thomas Kinkade, whom he "respects as a businessman", but also hates, probably because he sucks. The twisted fun starts with horror-inspired wood block paintings like "Hellraiser" (w/ cartoony, 3D-needled Pinhead) and "Nightmare on Elm Street" w/ a bug-eyed Freddy, handmade toys like robots made of automotive parts, and the highlights: stuffed animal heads like a Care Bear and Winnie The Pooh mounted on wooden plaques -- see what happens when you grow up, Christopher Robin? See what happens?? He also remixes existing paintings and photos by adding comic-style illustrations, as with "Batman" (drawn hanging upside down over a B&W aerial photo of warehouses), and various vintage record covers, including a green triple-eyed goon drawn over the Care Bears movie soundtrack, and a 45" with a three-eyed purple shark about to gobble a showgirl called "The Follies of Paris", which you've already seen, in really bad night-vision.
UP's also peddling tees with monsters posing together around "Urbn Pop" text, plus the first issue of a comic series, featuring a rabbit named Oswald and a dead bear named Hank with arrows in his back -- controversial, yes, but not nearly as bad as that sculpture of the dude who's just sitting there thinking...quick, cover the children's eyes!!!
You really need to click here without hesitating; this guy will be adding a mounted-head Elmo any day now, and you know how crazy crowds go over Elmo -- click now! Do it!!

I've been away!
Hello y'all
So December came and went, I had full intentions of taking a vaca from art the whole month, but that did not last. About two weeks in to the month, my wife watched me twitch and become grumpy. The means one of two things, I'm hungry, or that I have not drawn anything in a while.. Both have the same results, I'm usually hard to deal with, intill we resolve the problem. So I broke my Vaca, and got back to the drawing board. Thank the maker- this oil bath feels so good- ( as quoted from C3po in Star Wars)
Flash forward to January 2010- Tons of new drawings and stuff are appearing all over the place... I'm happy.. Since I have a studio that is not our living room, my wife is happy.. Its happy times at the Hamer home..
So 2010 looks like its starting off with a bang- I did my first live painting in Orlando this last Jan at the Social, I had my first Group show at mint titled " Not you" and then entered the Pabst blue Ribbon Contest.. It looks like I will be doing a show at Radial Cafe in Atlanta and Rejoining all my comrades in the Comic industry at Megacon in Orlando in March and then my big solo show of the year in April at The Plaza theater.. So much happening... More to come on all my appearances, and the rest of the year for my art hap's.. So stay tuned and thanks for reading this blog..
Here are a few new pieces I'm working on!
THIS IS THE PIECE I DID AT THE SOCIAL IN ORLANDO:
THIS IS THE PIECE I DID THE THE PABST BLUE RIBBON CONTEST-
THIS IS A LITTLE INK DRAWING I DID FOR A BOOK COMING OUT NEXT YEAR CALLED "THE RAGE"
THIS IS SOMETHING NEW I'M WORKING ON: I CALL THESE "I HAD KILLED THAT"
