Artist's Statement
Artist: Michael Todd
From: San Jose, CA USA

Title: Feign Demonic
Statement: The original inspiration to this poster was the subject
and his various exotic tattoos. I like tattoos, tattoos make me
hot. I felt the heat. Did you? The red hot color and sharp halftones
connect with the fiery, carnal instincts deep inside all of us. The
defeated demon is not only victim to defeat, but now must writhe
in the flames that burn from the passions of all souls.
Title: Armistice
Statement: Armistice is one of my favorite pieces. I composed six
of these posters and this one was always my first choice. I love
the angle at which the photo was taken. Once I added the coloring,
I liked the "army" feel. I love men in uniform, but this one was
halfway out of his and it made me want to sign his treaty. In these
uncertain military times, we can always be sure of one thing, the
men will always be hot. God bless America.
Title: Bound by Anonymity
Statement: This piece is composed of a photo of a man bound. He has
been plasterized to preserve his identity. Not due to the subject's
wishes, but because I am conveying the feeling of an anonymous
masquerade. Who is this person? Why is he so enticing? what is it
that draws you in? Do you care? It's intoxicating. It makes your
blood rush. Will you see him again? until them, you are Bound by
Anonymity.
