Roky Erickson • Nevermore by Francis Owens
gouache
22 x 13 inches
Artist Statement: This is a portrait of Roky Erickson who is an obscure rock and roll artist. He was talented. He was in a group called, 13th Floor Elevators. He took too much LSD, too many times and blew mind (literally).
Bio: I spent about 35 years in book publishing as an art director and creative manager for McGraw-Hill. Most of those years were in New York, with ten years spent in San Francisco. I designed textbooks for children, Pre-K through high school; as well as college textbooks. Over the years I worked with numerous designers and illustrators. I retired in 2019 and I have been enjoying dedicating my time to my paintings, although I worked paintings before retiring. I have exhibited at the Monmouth Museum, Garden State Watercolor Society, Shore Institute of Contemporary Art (SICA, now defunct) and the Art Alliance.
