"This was a small series that was meant for the street. We love the reaction that people have when seeing our work out in public places. That is what fuels us. Money is important and a gallery show is fun, but the street is where we thrive. For several months we have been kicking around the idea of doing an independent two man show. Rather than a group show that is often just a disjointed collection of artists we were conceiving a two man show consisting of collaborative works. We often print with ink on lightweight bond paper which is best for pasting. In this limited run we are using a heavyweight Stonehenge paper which makes for a cleaner run and a nicer overall feel.
The most interesting effect these pieces create, in my opinion, is the juxtaposition of the female figure with stylized skull. It creates a different dimension to either image. People can read meaning into them or see it as powerful and beautiful image. Often we like to flip each image so when we hang consecutive pieces on the street we can alternate them upside down and right side up; that way each of our parts to the piece take precedence." - Russell King
