Following a career in electrical engineering, Salt Lake City\u00a0artist\u00a0Joe Carter’s childhood connection to objects, where items like salt shakers flew\u00a0and everything he looked at had an individual personality, returned to him. He went back to school and eventually got his BFA from the U in 2000. Now he paints hyper-realistic typewriters, toys and teapots and clear glass jars filled with a variety of stuff. On Saturdays he participates in life drawing classes with a group of fellow artists at his alma mater.<\/p>\n

Mud Motor by Joe Carter, 4′ x 4′, oil on canvas<\/p><\/div>\n

Carter tells us, \u201cI found this poster at a yard sale a couple of years ago and it communicates in, and radiates the visual language that I\u2019ve liked for as long as I remember. It sure makes the case for drawing!”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s titled, he says: “He pulled open the door with a jerk, and they all fell in, one on top of the other. More dwarves, four more! And there was Gandalf behind, leaning on his staff and laughing.”\u00a0The work is taken from J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s The Hobbit.<\/em>\u00a0“It was done by artist Rob Brown, “Carter says. “I’ve included one of my recent pieces of art and, while not a drawing, it’s rooted in the same thoughts about art that this poster inspires.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even after some 45 years, the poster is still available at Ken Sanders Rare Books. Carter found a document online <\/a>that describes the work and artist:<\/p>\n

“After [attending Viewmont High], inspired by classic illustrators such as Gustave Dore, Heinrich Kley, Norman Lindsay and others, [Rob Brown] began the first of many highly detailed pen and ink drawings, including \u2018The Hobbit\u2019 and \u2018Conan the Barbarian\u2019 published by Dream Garden [Ken Sanders\u2019 imprint]. The Conan poster was issued simultaneously by Tape Head Co. as a Pink Floyd concert poster in 1970. In the late 60’s, Brown worked briefly for the infamous Berkeley Barb<\/em> in California . . . Back in Salt Lake City . . . in the 70’s he went on to produce calendars and graphics for the Cosmic Aeroplane and other counter culture establishments. [He later wrote and illustrated a number of children\u2019s stories.]”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
