Collage Artist Jonathon Baker
Jonathon
Baker has been interested and involved in Collage and Montage art since
the early nineties, taking his inspiration form the works of Winston
Smith, and John Yates, and began
publishing artwork within his own magazine, Greedy Pigs and other
magazines, such as Skratch, Direct Action Quarterly, Le Monde
Diplomatique, Fracture, Impact Press, (the last two are both
unfortunately no longer in print) Razorcake, Z-mag and others. Jonathon
has also provided illustrations for many bands and music events, and
recently some designs for Babydoll Chic and hardcore punk outfit Section 13.
After ceasing to publish Greedy Pigs in 1998, Jonathon
decided to develop and maintain a website to gain a more international
audience, and to modernise his presence in the overall artistic
community, the site has since evolved through many different versions
from a basic gallery to a more interactive experience with contact information and merchandise.
In recent times, Jonathon’s work has been used in books, such as Peace Signs and Reproduce and Revolt, and has supplied poster designs for no RNC and Critical Mass, and even two known tattoos!
Since the beginning of 2008, Jonathon has opened a merchandise store in the growing Zazzle community, which can be found at www.zazzle.com/culturaldissection
In 2009 Jonathon also set up a separate zazzle store based upon a satirical approcah to several revolutionary leaders and communist iconography, called Kommie
2010 is set to be a year in which Jonathon’s popularity is set to grow, with great focus on his Zazzle merchandise, and a twitter account to keep you updated on news and his collage of the week t-shirts, and there will also be some themed online galleries to come.
