Jetsah

Through personal warmth and approachable process, Bob Ross
enraptured millions -- the only downside being, his
paintings all belonged in the faux-southwest foyer of a La
Quinta. Pulling you behind the veil of some legitimately
badass work, Jetsah.

Based in Chi and clearly named after a Bikram yoga
instructor, Jetsah's stock and trade are affordable,
Midwest-fantastical silkscreen posters, and through his blog
gives you insight into their creation in a nontechnical
manner that doesn't make him sound like a highfalutin art
penis. Some of the more involved entries are for "Airlift",
which lays out the initial sketch and five colored screen
patterns of a stork carrying a farm on its back; the beat
down seven-legged horse "Conquistador", for which he shows
the actual printing process; and "Bloodsucker", chronicling
the transformation of Richard Nixon into a vampire (He will
bite you deep. In the throat.). Jetsah's offhand,
self-effacing commentary ups the approachability: with the
sword and birdcage toting Minotaur dubbed "Rebirth", he
admits frailty ("Very happy with the results despite having
headcold"); with the Black Keys-commissioned, eagle/farmland
mashup, he owns up to fanboyness ("I was stoked to get to
make a poster for this show"); and on the cougar headed
"Prairie Ghost", he acknowledges art can be silly ("4-color
print on French Tangy Orange paper. Yes, Tangy Orange").

Jetsah's also turned two prints into tees: the Cyclops bull
"Chicago Ghost", and another for the Melvins depicting a
towering sunflower with a slight smirk -- probably because
it knows the Melvins are currently playing the La Quinta in
exchange for tiny Raisin Brans from the Continental breakfast.
