The Low End Image makes prints, drawings, and paintings that are rooted in serious visual inquiry yet designed to be affordable to people without specialized knowledge or deep pockets.

At its core, this project reframes pop culture figures—not as kitsch or parody, but as shared icons worthy of formal attention. By offering limited edition works priced between $5 and $200, The Low End Image challenges the prevailing notion that art must be exclusive to be valuable. These works are for those who live outside the art world’s economic structures but still crave the emotional and intellectual engagement that images can offer.

​

Inspired by Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, this project embraces the idea that reproducibility has the potential to bring art to everyone, regardless of income or social status.  It takes for granted that traditional 2d art objects are worth producing, disseminating, and consuming in the 21st century regardless of the proliferation of digital images, whether made by ai or not.

Artworks available 

​

Oil Transfer Prints

The artist Paul Klee developed the oil transfer process in the 1920s.  I love its simultaneous simplicity and complexity and over the past few years it has become one of the most enjoyable parts of my practice.  When I combined this technique with pop culture subject matter, I noticed how meaningful it is to explore multiples, the intersection of high and low brow media, and even capitalist versus anti-capitalist models of art consumption using this method, which facilitates affordability, intellectual reflection, and aesthetic appeal in equal measure.

​

Paintings

I offer a handful of paintings made over the past decade at The Low Brow Image.  Paintings are inherently more laborious, and usually the things I am currently working on I am reluctant to let go of.  If you are interested in paintings not pictured here or at The Low Brow Image site, please send me an email to discuss.

​

Drawings

I have hundreds of drawings that I am willing to sell after a lifetime of compulsive image making.  I'll feature a selection of available drawings here, and I welcome those curious about my drawing inventory to schedule a studio visit and flip through available works.
