For Immediate Release
News Alert
1xRUN and Dirty Show Present Mitch
O’Connell Limited Edition Print Release Monday 2/7/11 at Noon
EST.
Mitch O'Connell to release an exclusive 3 color
silkscreen print of, "Just a Thought," edition of 40, available for one
week only on 1xRUN.com
Mitch’s illustrations have been featured in magazines from
Newsweek, Rolling Stone, The New York Times to Playboy and Time Magazine.
He has created album artwork for The Supersuckers to Less Than Jake
and many others. He has exhibited all over the globe, from New York
to Berlin and Hollywood to Tokyo and beyond!
For this weeks
print Mitch has teamed up with 1xRUN and Dirty Show to release this very
limited, exclusive, hand pulled silkscreen print.
The eternal female! Playful, knowing, on guard (even beneath the
most trusting of smiles), and rejoicing in the sure knowledge that she
alone is the only worthy prize in this flat world of minor and fleeting
pleasures. Obviously American - and obviously drawn by an American male
whose "lowbrow" designation and credentials belie the commendable expertise
he brings to every one of his works. Mitch O’Connell (and shouldn't
he be a fighter pilot or a mercenary soldier with a name like that?) plays
a nice game of discretion with his curriculum vitae, but his works fill the
empty spaces nicely.

About Mitch O’Conell
The art of Chicago-based, Mitch O'Connell, receives international
acclaim from the public and collectors alike. His tantalizing tattoo
designs are a fixture on the walls of tattoo shops around the world.
Mitch's masterful art has been collected in three tomes, "Good Taste Gone
Bad", "Pwease Wuv Me" and "Mitch O'Connell Tattoos."

master of skin deep kitsch."
Tattoo Revue tells us... "if you're not familiar with Mitch's work
you must be new to this planet."
Mitch is "one of the top illustrators in the country, in fact. You
can tell an O'Connell image from as far as you can see it, which is high
praise indeed." - International Tattoo Art Magazine
