A Graphic Tour of My Desk

A GRAPHIC TOUR OF MY DESK
ALEX A STEPHENS / CREATIVE & PRODUCTION MANAGER

Welcome to a short tour of my desk, with some of my creative & personal inspirations. (L to R)

ELISA MCKNIGHT: a "Cancer Sucks" button that my mother gave me during her Chemo/Herceptin therapy. As she said, "Here, have this. Why the hell would I want it." She has been in remission for about 2.5 years. Yay!

HANK WILLIS THOMAS: an "I Like Dick" image pulled from a gallery ad for What Goes Without Saying. Thomas is a contemporary African American artist whose photographs were shown in the MCA Denver exhibition More American Photographs.

Black Sheep Fridays: Sassier Than Ever

Political Graphics: The Posters of Emory Douglas

In 1968, artist Emory Douglas was appointed Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party, the African American revolutionary organization active between 1966 and 1982. Douglas’ job description included, among other creative projects, the design of posters that appeared on the streets and were published in the party’s official newspaper, The Black Panther.
