Tara McPherson is a painter, Poster Artist and freelance illustrator. Creating art about people and their odd ways, Tara's characters seem to exude an idealized innocence with a glimpse of hard earned wisdom in their eyes. Recalling many issues from her childhood and a good old life experience, she creates images that are thought provoking and seducing. People and their relationships are a central theme throughout her work.
Her current projects are painted covers for DC/Vertigo comics (Including Lucifer, Sandman Presents: Thessaly Witch for Hire, and The Witching), a series of ads for Fanta Soda (UK), and gig posters for contemporary rock bands such as Air, The Strokes, Modest Mouse, The Shins and others. She will also be showing her paintings and posters at M Modern, OX-OP, Froden, Chindogu, Landmark, Goodfoot, Toyroom, La Luz de Jesus, Tin Man Alley and various other galleries in 2004.
Tara's art has been included in books such as The art of Modern rock (Chronicle), SWAG (Abrams), The Art of Electric Frankenstein (Dark Horse), Fleshrot (Frightworld Studios), Sci Fi Western (Last Gasp), and Panda Meat (Last Gasp).
Tara graduated from ArtCenter in Pasadena, CA in 2001 with honors in Illustration and a minor in Fine Art. She Interned at Rough Draft Studios, working on Matt Groening's "Futurama" during college.
Poster Pop is proud to feature 7 of her photo quality art stickers. More designs are coming in early 2005!
