Description
Check out the entire Twilight Zone Collection!
If it's not already obvious by looking at my pop art portfolio, pop culture is my life. I unabashedly love each one of the reference subjects I use for my artwork; some of these happen to be popular (you may have heard tell of a mushroom-stomping plumber by the name of Mario), while many are not so much (99 out of 100 people on the street have no clue about Joe Versus the Volcano, for example). I'm proud of this fact, as I refuse to "sell out," as the hipsters say. I draw and paint what I personally love, not what I think will sell ... which is, frankly, probably a stupid move for someone who owns a small business. But my hope is that all the cool people in the world who love the same weirdo stuff I do will appreciate that they can find it immortalized in Mod Pop Art form here at Plaid Design. And one of those things is The Twilight Zone. Not that this show isn't well-known (of course it is); but as time goes by, fewer and fewer people really know and appreciate it, whereas I continue to religiously watch what has essentially become my #1 favorite show of all time. Rod Serling is a hero of mine - a perfect wordsmith and creator of truly fascinating studies of the human psyche, tales that due to stellar writing, directing, and acting, feel almost more real than most TV today, despite the outlandish sci-fi scenarios. For this piece, I chose four of my favorite episodes that could be instantly recognizable with a single floating head, and I used color symbolically (blue, purple, green, and red, based on the themes of the episodes). For the background color gradients, I also created a subtle "Z" shape as a nod to the title. I should probably make more pieces like this one ...
