Dark Horse and I are working on my second artbook now which should be out in mid 2009! Sneaky Preview •••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••• Tara McPherson is an artist based out of New York City that creates art about people and their odd ways. Her characters seem to exude an idealized innocence with a glimpse of hard earned wisdom in their eyes. Recalling many issues from childhood and good old life experience, she creates images that are thought provoking and seductive. People and their relationships are a central theme throughout her works. Tara exhibits her paintings and serigraphs in fine art galleries all over the world. Named the 'crown princess of poster art' by ELLE Magazine, she has created numerous gig posters for rock bands such as Beck, Modest Mouse, and Melvins. Her array of art also includes painted comics and covers for DC Vertigo, advertising and editorial illustrations for companies such as Pepsi and Spin Magazine, creating toys with KidRobot, and teaching a class at Parsons in NYC. McPherson's art has been included in books such as Lonely Heart: The Art of Tara McPherson, Fables 1001 Nights of Snowfall, The Art of Modern Rock, Illusive 2, Illustration Now!, SWAG and SWAG 2, and more. She has lectured at the School of Visual Arts, AIGA NYC, AIGA Austin, The University of Arizona, MADE in Edmonton and Foyles London. Her art has also been featured in the Oscar Award winning film Juno, Veronica Mars, and Guitar Hero. Tara was born in San Francisco in 1976 and raised in Los Angeles. She received her BFA from Art Center in Pasadena, CA in August 2001 with honors in Illustration and a minor in Fine Art. She interned at Rough Draft Studios, working on Matt Groening's "Futurama" during college. She has been featured and/or interviewed by Juxtapoz, Esquire, Vanity Fair, Bust, Elle, Marie Claire, Spin, TV 3, Magnet, Current TV, CBC Radio, Super7, Inked, NY Press, Paste, HOW, Step, Communication Arts, Society of Illustrators, Metal Hammer, International Tattoo Art, Seattle Times, LA Weekly, Gothamist, Punk Planet, Savage Tattoo and many more. Some of her clients include DC Comics, Warner Brothers, Dark Horse Comics, Kidrobot, Rayban, Strangeco, Spin, Pepsi, Fanta, Goldenvoice, Harper Collins, Bloomsbury, Revolver, Knitting Factory, Playstation 2, House of Blues, Dogfish Head Brewery, Nike and Wyden+Kennedy among others.
