Fuck You Asshole!

Spoke Art is San Francisco’s newest art gallery and publishing house. Following a year of pop up exhibits in New York City, San Francisco and Oakland, we have finally settled down into our new permanent space on Sutter Street in San Francisco’s dynamic Lower Nob Hill neighborhood. We specialize in emerging new contemporary artists with a firm emphasis on figurative and illustrative works. Our regular exhibits open the first Thursday of every month, and we specialize in connecting collectors with secondary market works namely in the fields of pop surrealism, low brow and street art. GIANTSUMO is the brainchild of James Rheem Davis. JRD was born in San Francisco, CA and raised in the Bay Area, but now resides in Phoenix, AZ. He uses his full birth name, but is not a serial killer. He is not a GIANT nor a SUMO. He is just a very boring individual who enjoys movies, music and especially cookies. JRD has created designs and posters for a wide variety of bands in 2 distinct styles. His art has an inspiring twisted beauty that draws from a variety of influences, including MTV (When they played videos), Horror Films, and Pop Culture. Major influences include Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, Frank Kozik, H.R. Giger, Dave Mckean, David Carson, Phil Hale and Kent Williams. GIANTSUMO was founded in 2000 while working at Winterland, a music merchandise company in the East Bay. After 2 years of service as an In-House Designer, the company was sold and freelancing began. By continuing to produce strong designs, more and more work developed. His artwork has been included in The Art of Modern Rock, Panda Meat: Source Book 1, Gig Posters Volume 1: Rock Show Art of the 21st Century, A Fistful of Rock & Roll: 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.
