Steak Mtn: THE MOST EXPLOSIVE PICTURE OF THE YEAR! Coming to the Threadless Gallery April 4 - April 29! (Opening party on Friday, April 4th from 7pm-9pm)



Steak Mtn. (or Christopher Norris) is a vaguely successful graphic artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Since 1996, he has been illustrating/designing records, merchandise and ephemera for bands & record labels with clients including Against Me!, Atom and his Package, Panthers, Sire/Warner Bros., Vice/Atlantic & Earache Records. In the past few years he has been branching out from the music industry by bringing his graphic gallows humor to snowboards (Rome), editorial illustration (Res Magazine, The Drama) & clothing companies (Threadless, Shirtkiller, Art in the Age).

For THE MOST EXPLOSIVE PICTURE OF THE YEAR, Steak Mtn. is hanging three different phases of his work. The first section will be dedicated to showcasing the hundreds of found xeroxed pictures, doodles on tracing paper and full scale ink illustrations that have been utilized for some of the punk & noise records he has designed and illustrated over the past ten years. The second section will be images from a small series of color studies that rely on text and inky illustration to create disparate & seamy narratives. The third section will be the debut of his very recent pencil drawings, a series structured on transgressive statements, haunted house imagery & thick seeming minimalism.
