CUTIE HONEY (Blue) - 1st Edition

Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph. The name "Jelly Bean" originated as an alias derived from a childhood nickname given to him by his grandmother.

In Junior High School, he discovered Playboy magazine, an inspirational publication in the eyes of Jelly. He then began creating his own versions of beautiful, often naked, female subjects. He became astute at mixing and matching his favourite anatomical features with his favourite actresses, thus creating his own creature of beauty and burlesque. Working as a free-lance artist as he, simultaneously, established surf band Jackie and the Cedrics (and of course made all the flyers and record art). Later he went on to create his own art and design studio Erosty Pop. Jelly's desire to establish a new base for his artistic activity in Los Angeles and befriend the likes of American Lowbrow artists
