R+M (5): CHICKEN, ORCHID, CHAMPAGNE

November 5, 2009
Robots and Monsters, a website that swaps custom-designed cartoons and pop art in exchange for a donation to charity, was field-tested in May 2007 by our friend and colleague Joe Alterio. Earlier this fall, Alterio and other artists relaunched the site as a going concern. This is the fifth in a ten-part series of cartoons and artworks created by R&M artists to raise money for the charity water.org.
Damn! Let’s hand it to Joe Alterio — a lesser man might have brought in inferior artists to the R+M project so that his own work would look better. Instead, he’s brought in some awesome talents. I love Rebholz, and had never heard of him before.
Thanks! Rebholz is one of my oldest friends, I’ve known him since I was 12. He is indeed amazing. He’s shown at galleries all over the world, and is a professor of printmaking in Texas. You can see more of his work at http://www.mattrebholz.com
