Feeve’s catalog of art is varied and breaks down into three main categories: People, Places, and Things. These “Categories” include, but are not limited to: portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, pop art, abstracts, erotica, simple line drawings, and even several cartoons.
Also included in Feeve’s overall coterie are several series of which he is pleased. The Lunchbox Series is a collection of 24 classic 1960s lunchboxes. These giclee-on-canvas printst are 10 x 14 inches, numbered, and signed by the artist. Selected lunchboxes include: Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, The Beatles, Jonny Quest,The Munsters, The Partridge Family, James Bond, Peanuts, Bullwinkle, The Monkees, Wizard of Oz, Lost in Space and, of course, Star Trek.
Amerikan Gothix is another series of giclee-on-canvas prints featuring the classic background painted by Grant Wood in American Gothic in 1930, but replacing the old farm couple with modern icons. Feeve also loves Vegas and has done a series highlighting various casinos from yesteryear: Sands, Sahara, Flamingo, Stardust, Thunderbird, Mint, and others. Two other series include: WordScapes, a series of clever words or phrases painted on canvas with ink, and Differently Dotted Dice, a series of 6-piece renderings in which the artist re-arranges the dots on dice.
In addition to all that, Feeve has recently explored works-for-hire in the form of portrait commissions.
As an artist, Feeve is what most people would call “self taught”, meaning he’s never really taken anything more than your basic High School art courses, a few drawing classes in College, supplemented with occasional night school art training. He did, in actuality, graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio; a school he characterizes as ‘small, but intense’.
Throughout his life thus far he has maintained an active creative role on the fringes of the art world, namely The Advertising Industry. From within its’ framework he has pursued multiple categories of art-related projects: layout, design, graphics, illustration, photography, typesetting, logo development, as well as TV, film & web-based art.
For several years, Feeve was an instructor at Portfolio Center in Atlanta, an art school offering classes to students of commercial art, photography, illustration, plus visual skills as it relates to working in advertising. While the classes he taught were mostly about creative concepts, writing, & production of broadcast announcements, Feeve continues to feel that “a lot of the ‘artistic atmosphere’ rubbed off on me.”
In terms of work that has influenced Feeve in his own artistic vision, he maintains that he likes “most art in general very much” and actually owns some. His favorites are Edward Hopper, Wasily Kandinsky, John Register, Charles Sheeler, Ed Ruscha, Bruce Nauman, Andy Warhol, Mark Kostabi, Robert Indiana, John Baldessari, Karl Benjamin, Lorser Feitelson, and Helen Lundeberg, amongst a few others. His favorite photographer is David Plowden.
Other biographical information includes: born during 1958 in Celina, Ohio; after college moved to Greenville, South Carolina, then to Atlanta, Georgia, then to Hollywood, California; wants to eventually move to & live in Northern California with his wife Stacey Michaels & their two boys, Sam & Dan. Otherwise, Feeve feels fine & would like to thank you for asking.
