Floater State II
By Don Ed Hardy
Located in Lyons, CO

Don Ed Hardy’s lithographs, created in the spring of 2007, continue the “look” of his Ghost Writer painting series which has been developed over the past five years. They are evocative of ancient Chinese stone rubbings, or x-rays. Both prints refer to earlier images from Japanese art history.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Sheltering in Place
By Enrique Chagoya
Located in Lyons, CO
Color lithograph with collage, Edition 30.

"This lithograph has been produced keeping in mind the pandemonium sparked by the departing administration and its long-term effects on society. I worked the images during shelter in place without being able to travel to the Shark’s studio in Lyons for the first time in a couple of decades. It has been our first collaboration at a distance, but still in close communication, and very workable.
My print focuses on some of these issues (with a sense of humor inspired by James Ensor’s version of The Seven Deadly Sins...

Origins of Captain Marvel
By Peter Saul
Located in Lyons, CO
Color lithograph, Edition 30.
Peter Saul is a renowned painter of entertaining and provocative paintings. As an ‘anti-conformist’ and a ‘bad boy’ of painting, he mingles beauty and savagery, romance and ugliness in works that disarm the viewer. “Saul wants to offend and please at the same time.”
Drawing imagery from popular culture and using brash colors that add to the confusion, Saul accentuates the violent and vulgar nature of representation. He has a taste for narration and buffoonery. Peter Saul made prints for the first time at Shark’s in November 2002. He used his fine drawing skill and high-keyed color to create three lithographs, Self Portrait with Haircut, Modern Home, and Origins of Captain...
