Joshua Santospirito Art

This is Nadine’s typographic poster that is currently included in the Glenorchy Art Show. I’m quite a fan of Nadine’s experimental type work.

An interesting blog from Nadine

Poster illustration by Josh.

I based the drawings in this illustration on many of Norman Lindsay’s drawings and etchings. He was a powerful influence on me as a teenager (as a child through the Magic Pudding as well). I loved his angels and demons, the nude figures with gestural gestures (my newly coined phrase). The other aspect of this illustration was the images of hell that I enjoyed looking at in Volume one of the Sandman series, Dali’s drawings to accompany Dante’s L’Inferno, that I was lucky to see a few years back and lots of other more pop-cultural referencing stuff like Hellboy or stuff like that.
