The Blot meets artist Jermaine Rogers

The Blot was going through some files on my computer and I realized I never talked about my trip to Friendswood, Texas to meet renowned artist Jermaine Rogers. I can’t believe Rogers’ signing for Vans took place back in April, where has the time gone? Anyway, Jermaine was super nice and talked to me about a variety of things including his history designing artwork for rock concert posters and his line of designer vinyl figures. I also wanted to share some of the cool free shwag I got while at the Vans store, including this Jermaine Rogers designed Vans t-shirt signed by the artist:


Jermaine also hooked me up with this awesome 7-color screen print entitled “Little Animals Grow… (Teach Your Children).” On JermaineRogers.com he talks about the piece, stating that “it's interesting how our society provides several ways of teaching a child to get very comfortable with the feel of a pistol in his hand. Every little detail of this image has its own little meaning. I hope some of you will like it.” (link) It’s definitely a striking piece of artwork and I love the hand drawn Dero head Rogers added to the screen print for me. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do!


Jermaine said he’s got a few exclusives in the works for this year’s San Diego Comic Con, so I’ll definitely be on the lookout for those and look forward to speaking with him again in a few weeks down in sunny San Diego.
