Beer Is Art, Special L.A. Beer Week Tie-In Show
& Max Grundy “Ozone Schmozone”
September 6 – 29, 2013
Opening Reception: Friday, Sept. 6th, 8-11 PM
Max Grundy “Ozone Schmozone”
Throughout human history mankind has always enjoyed a advantageous relationship with machines to counter the oppressive and destructive qualities of nature. Drills create mines to collect oar and combines harvest grain. All this for man to shield and protect himself from a natural environment that sees him as nothing more than a food source.
This set of images Depicts this natural world as our adversary. Our machines have become elevated to a modern day messiah and redeemer. They are a tool and a weapon to protect us from natures assault on humanity.
After the apocalypse we will only use what we can recycle or build from our own two hands. When the grid collapses our hi-tech devices will be useless. This set of imagery is inspired by the idea of a future primitivism. Fear and the basic human desire to protect ones life will once again become paramount. Only mans unique wisdom and ingenuity can accomplish this.
In our future world something has gone horribly wrong. Many things once deemed as socially and environmentally “responsible” will fall by the wayside. When danger and fear become all consuming our human goal would become singular. We must struggle to reach safety from all threat. In short FEAR IS THE NEW BEAUTY.
A society that has become consumed by boredom and the dramas of strangers daily lives must be purged. The only cure for this cancerous boredom is to be baptized by fire and born again where we are once again forced to fight for our lives like the explorers and frontiersmen of old.
This set of imagery is inspired by the desire to fight back against a toxic planet that is trying to swallow us up. Only strength, ingenuity and self reliance can save us. No longer can we live our lives as elite earth worshipers. We must selfishly revolt against this natural environment that wants to erase our existence.
When mankind’s basic need for survival comes into play, a social dogma of fanatic environmentalism will be cleansed from society. My artwork embraces fundamental mechanical technology and its ability to defend us against a toxic planet. This will be a war with no flags. Humanity will stand against the natural world.

CATWOMAM (2013)
8″ x 11″
ink on paper
I made this piece for the Hive gallery’s Comic Villain themed show. I like superheros, but I love villain too. There are a lot of stylish and elegant design of villains.
I was thinking making Darth Vader first because he was my most favorite villain of all time and I always wanted to make a piece of Darth Vader. But the themed was from comic villain, and he was from movie, so I changed my subject and picked up from my favorite comic hero “Batman”.
I chose “CATWOMAN”. There are many catwomans, but the most badass catwoma is definitely Michelle Pfeiffer. Her catwoman is an elegant, sexy, and mysteries.
Please come check out my new piece and show.

Unite: The Battle in the Sky (2013)
8″ x 10″
ink & water color on paper
In the early 1940s’ during WW II in the pacific, The U.S. and Japan were in a state of war.
However, 2 nations had a cease-fire agreement because of the appearance of Kaiju.
The world united to fight together against Kaiju.
１９４０前期、第２次世界大戦時の太平洋に突然怪獣が出現。
戦争状態にある日米は同盟を組み怪獣と戦うのであった。
鉛筆の後にインクで下書きから(I start drawing the battle in the sky)
下書きして色を加えて行く (Putting some color on Zero and background)
色をだんだん加えて行って (Adding more color to make this piece alive!)
完成 「Unite: The Battle in the Sky」
最近、水彩の色と絵の雰囲気の素敵さに気がつき水彩を取り入れているが表現の可能性がさらに広がるね。新しい画材やメディアを取り入れる事で新たな発見と絵の深さを体感できます。今後、インクを使った細かいラインアートに水彩を取り入れる作風も今後の目標だ。怪獣と人類が戦っているこのシリーズも今後さらなる展開をして行きたいと思います。
それにしても零戦はかっこいいです。
