Rock n Roll Coloring Books
In the 1990s I began making self-published books as a way to share my “artwork” in real life and connect with like-minded people—this was pre-internet. Creating weird fan art, interested me as a way of creating something of value, to certain people, ie; an existing fan base.
The series began as part of what I called the Paul McCartney Art Club: a purposeful indulgence in making self-indulgent fan art that were proudly out of touch and out of step with the fine art education I was receiving at the time. The subject matter was “brain dead,” culturally speaking—on purpose—but the obsession and dedication were completely sincere. [Link]
A few books from this series later gained traction on fan sites, leading to a SF Weekly write up that accurately captured a productive 27-year-old Brian.
