Birth of the Cool - Miles Davis/Gizzy Gillespie - MGBIRTHCOSE
NOTES: Birth of the Cool - Miles Davis/Gizzy Gillespie. From a rock n roll inspired show a Jazz piece was birthed. When I first started the Roque series the mission was to create a body of work that was more targeted to a more refined or higher end look and feel. Although the Roques series has evolved from that initial mission it still finds its way back to its roots every now and then. This was certainly the case with this piece. I recently had the privilege of doing a unique show at one of my favorite clothing designers, John Varvatos, stores in Costa Mesa, California. Those familiar with my work and Varvatos’ line would not be surprised that the theme of the night was definitely rock n roll, complete with a killer live show by a recording artist named Nicolas Fresard. During the show I was introduced to the executive editor and some of his associates from a very stylish and refined men’s magazine named Nobleman. From there the conversation turned from our shared love of the Rolling Stones to our other shared interests of the finer things in life such as fashion, cars, design, etc. It was here that one of the associates brought up a jazz piece. Since I had been conceptualizing a Miles Davis piece for quite sometime this obviously piqued my interest. As the conversation continued, I was shown photos of the magazines head office and the concept and vibe started to emerge in my head right there on the spot. With images of Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Jazz and Nobleman magazine coming together at once, the title of one of Miles’ albums just seemed to fit perfectly. That evening truly was “Birth of The Cool”..

Stickman bio
Trevor “Stickman” Stickel specializes in icon based, pop-realism portraits that capture legendary moments, powerful ideas, and raw emotion. His work is described as gritty-yet fresh, complex-yet simple. Graduating from a Jekyll and Hyde influence early in his career, in which he divided his time between family portraits and airbrush design work on helmets and Harleys, Stickman had the epiphany to combine both styles while reading “According to the Rolling Stones”. Two weeks later he finished his first canvas portrait of Mick Jagger, aptly titled “Please allow me to introduce myself”, which forever changed the direction of his career in the art world. THE MISSION The idea or "mission" behind Stickman’s artwork is to create an artistic tribute to the music and to the musicians that have had a tremendous impact on him and many others. Historically, these tributes would have been limited to photos/posters that adorned the bedroom walls of teenagers and dorm rooms throughout adolescence. Stickman aims to create a style of art that brings these iconic figures back into our lives, and in a manner that adults can display proudly in their homes. THE CONCEPT The concept is to take a realistic portrait and juxtapose it with a background that expresses the feelings and emotions of the subject. This method also allows Stickman to explore other disciplines of art – many of his backgrounds will include abstract, expressionism, impressionism, realism, pop art, street art, surrealism and quite often a combination of these. This is where he gets to enjoy the artistic side of these pieces, while paying additional homage to some of his favorite visual artists. THE HIDDEN MESSAGES AND SYMBOLS In addition to the art itself, Stickman also adds (and quite often hides) his trademarked Stickman symbol (stick figure with devil horns) and the statement "Devil Inside" to the painting. • The Stickman symbol is derived from Stickman’s last name (Stickel) and a common phrase he hears from viewers, "I can't even draw a stick man". The horns represent rock and roll (his primary focus), which is generally regarded as the devil’s music, and references the duality of man (good vs. evil). • The statement "Devil Inside" also references this Jekyll and Hyde type of duality. Stickman often feels there is a difference between Stickman the artist and Trevor Stickel the person. When focused on a subject and working on a piece, he often gets so involved in the subject he finds himself emulating them in the way he dresses and acts, similar to a method actor. • The signature on the bottom right corner usually shows the Stickman symbol imitating the subject. THE TITLE The title of each piece is often overlooked but may very well be the most important piece of the puzzle. Stickman looks for a lyric that he believes personifies the subject or his feeling toward that subject and from there, begins to create an image and feeling that takes the viewer to that emotional state of mind. The titles are always a lyric from the subject's song but never the title of a song. If the viewer is a fan of the subject, they should almost hear the lyric or feel the emotion of the lyric when looking at the piece. Knowing the title completes the emotional connection to the painting and usually reveals a personal trait about the subject.
