Piece description from the artist
TB Murphy's "Smoke Em if Ya Gotem!" pop art piece is a powerful and thought-provoking work that satirically exposes the naiveté of advertisers and their promotion of cigarettes through celebrity endorsements and doctors' endorsements. With bold colors, striking imagery, and a touch of irony, the artwork challenges societal norms and sheds light on the dangers associated with tobacco use. It serves as a poignant reminder of the influence and responsibility of advertising in shaping public perceptions.
From Iowa to international waters aboard a U.S. Navy Destroyer, I discovered a love for tropical climates that led me to settle in Texas 40 years ago. At 60, I launched my fourth career—art—proving it's never too late to pursue your passion! Though I've only been selling digital art for two years, my creative journey spans diverse styles to meet client needs. My heart belongs to bold pop art that weaves history with contemporary edge, blending mid-century vibes, cultural references, and vibrant colors to create visual stories that spark conversation. Whether crafting commissioned portraits or unleashing my signature pop art style, I pour precision and narrative into every piece, connecting generations through shared nostalgia and hidden details waiting to be discovered.
