Edition: Open EditionSize: 0.9" x 0.6" (24 x 15 mm) Artist: John Craig John Craig is a renowned illustrator and graphic designer with over 40 years of experience, based in rural so uthwestern Wisconsin. Originally from Pittsburgh, he knew he wanted to be an artist by the third grade and describes himself as a "see-it-all," driven to explore art at every level. His work centers on collage, a process he has evolved from hand-cut paper to multilayered Photoshop compositions. "I do not like to preconceive an idea and then collage by number," he says. "The surprise of laying images side by side and seeing those relationships develop in front of me is more immediate." Website Collection: Mellon Collie Illustrations (1995) The Mellon Collie collection is a subset of Craig's original artwork for The Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness double album. The designs currently on offer are the small glyphs Craig created to accompany each song in the album's lyric book, visual companions to the music. Make your selection based on the song each glyph accompanies in the lyric book, or simply choose the design that resonates with you most.
