The Triple Play of Chromatic Glee

Winter is coming and the Grasshopper has been busy playing with art. Doubtless, the ants will find him in the spring and recycle him.

LENTO Means Nothing

2011-09-06T15:59:00.000-07:00

These new square images will be archivally printed and secured to old, 33 rpm Album Covers - strange goodies will be put inside of the sleeve, as well.

Productive Reductions

2011-09-05T13:50:00.001-07:00

There is no rhyme or reason and everything else goes in wacky ellipses.... Spiffy imagery, however...

I have been bad about posting....

New things, click to enlarge... The bottom one is 3 x 5 FEET, when printed.

These are 'cards' number 1-4 of a series. Also, an 8 x 11 black and white multiversion. These images are, indeed small. Please print these and leave them places so that people will find and see them.

Here is the first. Limited prints on high quality paper are available.

2010-12-02T08:02:00.000-08:00

There are lots of words, but getting them into the sequence they would need to be is problematic. For someone with purported communication skills, I remain baffled.

Conspiracy of the Insignificant

2010-03-28T08:21:00.000-07:00

New Mexico's foremost musical combination and creative force in a digitally manipulated image of their March 2010 performance at M Gallery, Truth or Consequences.

Unfortunate

2010-03-28T08:18:00.000-07:00

More work continues to be done despite my neglect of this blog. The main idea is that these images are seen and do not languish on some hard-drive, or vanish.

lalalalala

2010-02-23T12:26:00.000-08:00

You would run away, too. This one somehow seems unfinished, but is done, nonetheless. Someone's recreation room needs this image.

Fight or Flea

2010-02-21T18:31:00.000-08:00

Things have gotten completely out of scale...

2010-02-21T18:26:00.000-08:00

While I would question my ability to maintain tropical fish, they look cool in collages...

Unknowingly, a door was briefly opened. We would write a song about it, but there aren't enough notes.

Absolutely click on the image to enlarge - this is a mural-like construction that even now, I will not promise is completed. I think it is...

Would You Paint

2010-01-29T09:43:00.000-08:00

Part one of a series of collages that will use maps as vital design elements. Minnesota has never been quite so brilliant and confusing!

Smoky

Shapes and form and fishes and fun!

Intent

2010-01-20T18:11:00.000-08:00

It all started when I felt the need to do something with Leyendecker and then things got a bit intense...

Cake

2010-01-20T15:59:00.000-08:00

Sometimes, things build themselves. This one is a particular example and I have no idea whatsoever aside from I like how this looks.

Larva cycle. Stuff that flies from things that creep....

Everyone is quite busy during the current season!

Part 2

2009-12-08T17:29:00.000-08:00

Some ideas are bluer than others. Intention and actual execution often collide, inadvertently. I know a few really bad jokes.

Canary Towers

2009-12-08T17:23:00.000-08:00

Bold steps in productivity are taken at Canary Towers. We are moving forward into the past, as Firesign Theatre has said.

There is something very official about this image.

From the Shoebox

2009-11-27T11:19:00.000-08:00

A nostalgia that is wholly artificial and built of other people's long-gone memories and pixels. We remember the past that never happened this way.

Wingz

2009-11-22T18:26:00.000-08:00

Flight, height and the overall things that give me vertigo are all confronted and colored brilliantly in this extra-large work. You interpretations and orders for archival quality art prints may be addressed to pq.ribber@gmail.com

Bonanza

2009-11-22T18:23:00.000-08:00

Sealife is affected by the prevailing art of it's era. If you fell into a black hole, you might see this...

Boots

2009-11-17T18:40:00.000-08:00

The marraige between taxidermy and the joy of motion. How vivid can you get?

The Hottest Ever

2009-11-16T07:02:00.000-08:00

Contradictions and seasonal snowiness. Floral snowman and the hottest and coldest combine to make another unusual collage. pq.ribber@gmail.com for more information on large, archival quality prints and custom artworks, cards and more!

Shoulders

2009-11-16T07:00:00.000-08:00

This one looks sort of like an unfinished magazine cover design. Would look great on your night-table, no?

Terre

2009-11-15T19:08:00.000-08:00

Brilliant colors and cool shapes and patterns make this an extra-vivid experience!

Enchanted

2009-11-15T19:04:00.000-08:00

Now, those Victorians knew how to put animals and inanimate objects to work! Unique visual art for the new era!

Merry Best Wishes

2009-11-15T07:28:00.000-08:00

A holiday greeting from a cluttered skull! Show went well and am back to online antics and art blogging and whatever else turns up here....

ART IN ACTION The Open Mike Flyers

2009-09-11T09:00:00.001-07:00

Fruitcake Toothpaste proudly displays a small shiny print - Tesla Dream was utilized for a flyer for the monthly Open Mike we host!

It is strange and fun seeing my stuff all over town....

Untiquated

2009-09-10T21:29:00.000-07:00

Unintended applications of vintage elements. The noble and reliable scout and the direputable athlete - yes, before our modern idolisation and adulation of the sports figure, there was a time when these fellows were considered to be lower than people in the Show Business! Even lower than artists! Balance from imbalance and yet another collectable image from the PQ Ribber Collection! pq.ribber@gmail.com

Scout City

2009-09-09T20:32:00.000-07:00

A purple metropolis, mysterious heraldry and loyal, obidient and true scouts - time, itself runs amok. Free of context, it assumes different characteristics. Night has fallen and it may rain; stay tuned and support our sponsor: pq.ribber@gmail.com custom digital eye candies in archival art prints.

Reference

2009-09-09T20:28:00.000-07:00

Permutations and a heroic theme - a noble bruin hardly notices the aspirations that go around about him. He is already thinking of his winter hibernation and dreaming of fish. The bluebirds of happiness oversee things to assure quality of experience. Is the fish in the dream smiling? Only you can decide, for sure. pq.ribber@gmail.com

Split Shift

2009-09-06T19:22:00.000-07:00

This was done in conjunction with Fruitcake Toothpaste and is pretty much past words.

Elvis for EVERYONE

2009-09-05T20:14:00.000-07:00

This work was done for a show (still up as of this posting and should be until mid-October at the M Gallery, on Main Street, in Truth of Conseqences, New Mexico. I have always gotten the odd feeling that I am looking at a mispelled word whenever I see the name Elvis... An iconic figure, no doubt. I did a second version of this with a couple of other elements, but wound up reverting to this simpler rendition. pq.ribber@gmail.com

Tesla Dream

2009-09-04T21:50:00.000-07:00

Tesla's work affects so much of our lives - it is his world and if you read about the man, he was pretty 'out there'. However, some insist that he was able to transmit wireless free electricity... Light, life, and this entire realm of internet. Find out more about my art, maybe own some - pq.ribber@gmail.com

WOO WOO

2009-09-03T19:44:00.000-07:00

The sportsman of the 19th century is affected deeply by the blue specked eel. How do they feel? The birds have appeal as they squeal. The colors on this one are quite soothing. Is they art? pq.ribber@gmail.com

Prophesy

2009-09-02T19:36:00.000-07:00

There is always much more going on than we can possibly percieve. I hate when I miss important things again and again, but all I can do is make efforts and art and hope to somehow balance things. pq.ribber@gmail.com and you could add this work to your art portfolio!

POOCHY

Time moves.

PHASE

2009-09-01T19:22:00.000-07:00

The temptation to set this acrobatic feat in some colorful pattern is outvoted by the way it looks, as is. By the way, the Conspiracy of the Insignificant podcast has been revived for a new, Fall 2009 Season at http://insignificant.podomatic.com ! Tell me what you think: pq.ribber@gmail.com

You're Off Your Base Again

2009-09-01T19:17:00.000-07:00

Persistence of vision is challenged and there is a very jarring optical record skipping effect to this wonder of the modern world. This was the very first one of these that I printed in large format and it sure does look cool and different! pq.ribber@gmail.com

Truth or Consequences

2009-08-31T18:52:00.000-07:00

While this image will likely never promote tourism, it commemerates and is in honor of the New Mexico Town that I am attatched to. If anyone knows what the lettering that the spiffy tiger is displaying, please share! Truth or Consequences is also the home of my next public showing, starting with a Gala Opening, Saturday, September 12, (2009) from 6pm til 8-9pm or so, at the Happy Belly Deli, on Broadway. It is very likely that members, if not all, of the Conspiracy of the Insignificant (New Mexico's Foremost Music and Arts Ensemble), will be performing! pq.ribber@gmail.com . Keep an eye on this blog for updates!

NO HARM !

2009-08-31T18:46:00.000-07:00

I could easily live in a room using this background as wall paper. Maybe not, but the idea of that sort of green world appeals to some part of my inner vision. I LOVE the Um Kit a Rat Trap Si Si Do, which I believe is the title of some archaic attempt at a catchy hit song title. I personally have a large print of this one by my coffee maker! Join me in my delusions! pq.ribber@gmail.com

Give Me Home

2009-08-31T18:40:00.000-07:00

One of my show business failure/heroes, Harry Langdon, a man who accidentally became a genius, tops this early 20th century looking re-complication. A Pathetic Story, indeed, a purplesome saga of bats and a walrus that will play itself out over whatever amount of time that at least one version of this image exists. Should the last copy of this artwork be destroyed, all bets are off. You can help fight entropy by ordering an archival quality art print of your own! pq.ribber@gmail.com !

Speak a Kind Word

2009-08-30T20:37:00.000-07:00

Isn't this one incredible? There is so much beyond the simple combination of shapes. These elements, in all their far-flung original incarnations, were destined to eventually be part of this work. Perhaps, even destined to grace your favorite wall! pq.ribber@gmail.com

BULLY!

2009-08-30T20:28:00.000-07:00

Teddy Roosevelt was an incredible character! Aside from that, his head makes for fun collaging! All of the layers of perception that are turned into amusing mishmosh make this work rewarding. Own your favorite(s): pq.ribber@gmail.com

Pawnbroker

2009-08-30T20:24:00.000-07:00

A pawnbroker for you. I'd swap in everything for an orangy life. There is a time and a place for everything, I only want one thing, should be simple, no? pq.ribber@gmail.com

Revelation

2009-08-28T21:36:00.000-07:00

No one could say, for sure, why Ezra adamantly refused to eat eggs. This one might match your wallpaper. Or, if you are ambitious, we could make it your wallpaper. I can only hope that the immense fun involved in filling these spaces with eye-affecting pieces comes through in the final vision. pq.ribber@gmail.com

Ebenezer Green

2009-08-28T21:31:00.000-07:00

Proof that we have been visited by unknown forces from another world! Living in New Mexico in the fabled town of Truth or Consequences has only furthered my belief in forces well beyond our capacity to comprehend! This evidence is available printed as large as 17 x 22" !! pq.ribber@gmail.com for any comments or queries!

Orangesque

2009-08-27T20:19:00.000-07:00

Even the fish have some orange to them! Yes, dear friends, even more fish motif action and super-candy colors combine in this particularly garish work. Perhaps a textile design for an entirely new conception in fabrics! I can see the trousers, now! Consider decorating your life with some of my art! pq.ribber@gmail.com

Modern Dramatics

2009-08-27T20:11:00.000-07:00

Migrations and other orderly methods of travel. Nowhere else in the history of art have such specifically diverse images joined together in order to tickle your retinas. PQ Ribber has gone the extra distance and made these transpositions occur in such a way as to make them available to those who need them in delicious, archival quality art prints! pq.ribber@gmail.com for further instructions and check back here for news, new art, podcasts and amazing links, over yonder in the leftmost column.

INDY

2009-08-26T20:02:00.001-07:00

This piece is probably not finished yet, but I have included it anyway. I want to cover a wall with many wallet-sized prints of this one and invite people over for my special homemade french bread pizzas. Sometimes I make them on garlic bread and serve the sauce, cool, on the side, for dipping. These Native American boaters aren't going anywhere, from the looks of things. Patience. pq.ribber@gmail.com for prints, custom work and artful arts.

HAPPY 2008

2009-08-26T19:58:00.000-07:00

I have always been an afficianado of turn-of-the-century (the 1899-1900s one) cartooning and Frederick Burr Opper's Happy Hooligan with his tin can hat and mindless smile is iconic to me. This is my own tribute to Happy and I hope other fans like it as well. pq.ribber@gmail.com

GRIP

2009-08-26T19:54:00.000-07:00

The super-secret hand shake of the Conspiracy of the Insignificant is celebrated with aquatic imagery. The turtle's name is Roger. There is a very important message that this piece represents, some say, but I've looked at it for hours and all I see are some happy fish and a cool, 19th century-style turtle named Roger. Want to buy a print - signed by the artist? pq.ribber@gmail.com

Get The Gringos

2009-08-26T19:49:00.000-07:00

The book hasn't been written yet and probably never will be, but this is an illustration from it. All sorts of dualities, singularities and archetypical truths are revealed if you contemplate this image carefully. pq.ribber@gmail.com is responsible for this and you may wish to own your very own copy!

Gem Dandy

2009-08-25T19:10:00.000-07:00

There is joy in repetition, sometimes. Architectural Poultry? Faceted Beings? No one else seems to be doing work like this. Suitable for framing. You may need this and/or other PQ Ribber artwork to enhance your living or work space. pq.ribber@gmail.com for inquiries, custom work and explanations.

Gameboy

2009-08-25T19:04:00.000-07:00

A time well before the digital age is revisited digitally. Fish, again. I am not at all sure why all the fish aside from the visceral visual appeal. Part of the 2009 Series. Even though I made these collages, each time I see one and am re-confronted with what I have done, I wonder, all over again, exactly what it all is supposed to mean. pq.ribber@gmail.com if you have answers, questions, or want to own some cool PQ Ribber art perhaps.
