The Master Mind Behind Evil Prints...
Tom Huck (born 1971) is a visual artist best known for his large scale woodcuts. He lives in St. Louis, Missouri where he runs his own press, Evil Prints.
This Saturday's unveiling of Tom Hucks' "Tommy Peepers" was the highlight to a great weekend. Displayed at the Thaxton Speakeasy in downtown on Olive Street St. Louis Mo.. Which by the way, is a very interesting venue worth checking out.
The three part series of wood cuts are huge. The largest is almost 4x5'. But the detail can captivate you for hours. Tom's styles is a mix of old school, hippy comic book artist like "R. Crumb" and of Political Caricaturist like Honore Daumier and Heinrich Kley.

The subject matter may be a little controversial for some. But the heart of the images are done with a whimsical mirth that plays with the topic and creates a fun & inviting look into the way Tom shares his childhood memories.
I really enjoyed this opportunity to see Tom's new art and I'm looking forward to seeing his studio real soon.
