John Van Hamersveld Quotes

While ‘The Endless Summer’ poster was designed at the Art Center College of Design in the contemporary style of its time, the image grew out of my relationship with Rick Griffin and our deep relationship to surf images Picture Quote #1

For me in my twenties, working in Hollywood was confusing in that the differences between what was fiction and what was nonfiction seemed to blur in my mind. Everything became a visual memory for me. I carried my Leica camera, giving opportunity to take pictures from my view Picture Quote #1

What is Southern California but an ever-changing dreamscape backdrop for the postmodern ideal? The psychology of the postmodern world is the continual state of change as we live in its idealist manufactured dream, built by developers Picture Quote #1

In 2009, I began creating ‘Waterworks’ with the new vernacular coming from the ‘Signs of Life’ work in Las Vegas Picture Quote #1

I look at graphic design as communication, meaning that the work has to have a vibe to connect to the viewer or perceiver. I make a black and white drawing and then add color digitally, bringing in a contemporary pattern to the composition to create a vibrance Picture Quote #1

For the surf idol Duke Kahanamoku portrait, which I created for the Surfrider Foundation, I took a photo from a book cover and abstracted the photo image into a drawing. This drawing was laminated onto a surfboard and auctioned to a buyer Picture Quote #1

With the Larry Bertlemann portrait, I started with a photograph that I could use for it. I built the drawing’s identity to serve as a graphic identity. After a number of sketches, I went into my own abstract vernacular of drawn lines and shapes to create the composition for the poster design Picture Quote #1

As an artist, illustrator, and photographer, most of my daily work was formed around the Art and Entertainment business, which was about packaging ideas that looked like they were crafted as artist ideas. In the distributed products, my artist credit was hidden inside the package of the artist or entertainment personality Picture Quote #1

In 1970, I was turning 29 years old, just 4 years out of art school. I had created a black and white drawing style mascot portrait called ‘Johnny.’ I made a poster for it and sent it around the world to corporate art departments Picture Quote #1

The Next Wave’ started as a drawing for a new silkscreen fine art print. I ended up doing the prints digitally because the water-based inks were better for the environment than the oil based inks. So, I learned about the Epson digital printers to get the image I wanted Picture Quote #1

My life in Hollywood surrounded by celebrities became a point of view for me - sports, fashion, music, film, arts, and politics as a media play Picture Quote #1
