Postcard Diaries Touring Exhibition

During his downtime on early worldwide tours with DEVO, Mark Mothersbaugh
began illustrating on postcards to send to his friends, which he still
creates, and has been creating every day for over 30 years. It's an
obsessive habit/hobby which still yields anywhere from one to a couple doze=
n
new postcard-sized images per day.

The cards were originally created as his personal diaries, and were never
intended for public viewing. That all changed when Mark decided to share hi=
s
postcard works in his critically acclaimed solo shows during the 1980's &
1990's, and again with his worldwide 2003 Homefront Invasion! gallery tour.

Mark has archived nearly all the original postcard-sized works, filed neatl=
y
in spiral-bound folders at his home in Hollywood, CA. It is an astonishingl=
y
obsessive collection of private thoughts featuring Mark=B9s plethora of
provoking & unusual imagery.

The 2006 Gallery Tour features high-resolution, limited edition digital
prints of Mark's works. Each original postcard diary sketch is scanned and
altered especially for the tour, often with the addition of text, digital
effects, photos, etc. Each customized image is printed on quality archival
Lysonic paper in a very limited edition (usually editions of 3-20, each
embossed and signed by the artist). Mark archives one of each print edition
for his own archives, which further limits distribution of each postcard
diary print.

Mark explains, =B2Usually, the only way someone can
get an original sketch is if I give it to them myself. I=B9ve sent a few in
the mail, and handed others out to friends and family. I=B9ve probably got
around 30,000 of them filed away now=8A.and I keep making more every day. The
limited edition prints are my way of sharing these images with other people
around the world.=B2

Mark Mothersbaugh short bio:

Mark's love of art started early in his childhood, just after it was
discovered that he was extremely nearsighted and legally blind.

His first correctional glasses offered Mark a new view of the world,
inspiring his obsession with imagery and illustrations. His first works,
which he began creating in the late 1960's and into the 70's, consisted of
many different mediums, including rubber stamp designs, ink illustrations,
screen printing, decals, and mail art. He participated in local showings,
and received recognition for his work in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.

Mark has exhibited extensively throughout the country and throughout the
world and has been featured in many art publications including Juxtapoz,
Wired, and Raw magazine.
