Arttrepreneur – Drawings from Consumer Life
Los Angeles: JonMarc Edwards, 2025. 1st Edition. Publisher’s color photo illustrated, Hardcover, Imagewrap. 104 pages, 48 plates.
Artrepreneur is a term I coined back in the mid-1980s to describe the fusion of art and entrepreneurship. It began as an impulse while staring at the freshly painted wall in my 7th St. studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Many impulses and rough drafts were to follow. Between 1987 and 1992, I produced a hundred and forty-four drawings (a gross) of imaginary, humorous, political, philosophical, or irreverent ideas that helped me make sense of the Reagan years, “Yuppies,” and the vast consumer cosmology. I exhibited two shows built around the Arttrepreneur work, one in Minneapolis and the other in Los Angeles.
Arttrepreneur, the book will be a limited edition, but I plan to release more volumes with your support. I invite you to enjoy yesteryear’s ironic and sometimes kooky consumer goods and services. But please watch your back; the slippery slope of Capitalism has many crests and deep troubling chasms.
