Denver artist Joe Murray's latest creative endeavor is pretty cheeky.
Derrière. Caboose. Keester. All are names for the humble body part popularly known as the butt. The list of iconic cultural butt moments is long, from Sir Mix-a-Lot's", though its contents typically have an"adults only" vibe. But that's not the case for the new, bootylicious venture from Denver artistIt could best be described as a cross between an old-school fan club and a community meeting place, albeit a digital one.
"I like to draw goofy cartoons in between drawing those portraits," he says."One time I drew an orange with a butt, and all of a sudden, I was drawing them all the time. ... I started becoming recognized as the guy who being introduced to friends as, 'Oh, yeah, he draws butts.' Which is kinda funny. Not what I had planned, but funny that it's happened, anyway."
"I was actually going through some pretty rough creative burnout," Murray recalls."So I took most of off from creating things, and was kind of working on this idea a little bit that was initially called the International Butt Club." After a few tweaks, including changing the name, he hit the ground running in January, developing the brand, launching the content and elaborating on the ideas behind it.
Admittedly, there's"lots of trial and error in learning how to make some of the stuff," Murray says."I can't tell you how many misprint Keester Club T-shirts I have in my drawers now. I could wear a Keester Club shirt for two weeks straight. But finally getting it right feels really good."
