I have just come upon this photostream and I am mesmerized. I am still exploring him and will continue to do so. I also enjoy sexual metaphor and references to bodily functions. I hope you all do too !

The "Throw Away Comments" series features typographic, fundamental social commentary with artistic disobedience. Certainly worth viewing.

Alshepmcr is fabulously creative and all of his art and ideas are eye-catching and bold. They not only grip your attention, but they also grab on and seem to attach to your mind.

Alshepmcr is fabulously creative and all of his art and ideas are eye-catching and bold. They not only grip your attention, but they also grab on and seem to attach to your mind. The ideas behind the words are raw and ring true to the hearts of many, including myself. One especially just caught my attention and stuck in my head for quite some time; I didn't think anyone else would even get close to thinking in the same way. His medium and simple ways of composing his pieces are mind-blowing. Simplicity, wonder, awe and greatness are very hard to come by in a single piece, though alshepmcr can produce all of this and more in a single picture. It's amazing.

Alshepmcr's work is, in a word, brilliant. The way he manipulates and distorts language is provocative, edgy and delightfully dark.

alshepmcr's art evokes the passion and confusion involved in the process of creating truly intuitive art. It is real and "in your face" adding to its power to allow the viewer some peeks into the the hyper-creativity of the stable and not so stable conscious states of the psyche.

alshepmcr's art evokes the passion and confusion involved in the process of creating truly intuitive art. It is real and "in your face" adding to its power to allow the viewer some peeks into the the hyper-creativity of the stable and not so stable conscious states of the psyche. Throw Away Comments and Positive Symptoms both reflect such delicate balances. Better be sitting down when viewing alshepmcr's photostream, also keep an open mind and open eyes. Great art here.

ART should make you think. It should challenge you to consider your dislikes, as much as your likes. It should touch your soul, and inspire discussion. I admire anyone who has the courage to be honest, and whos message is more precious than the art itself. After all, we never really own our art, we are custodians of… Read more

ART should make you think. It should challenge you to consider your dislikes, as much as your likes. It should touch your soul, and inspire discussion. I admire anyone who has the courage to be honest, and whos message is more precious than the art itself. After all, we never really own our art, we are custodians of it, for a time. Al please keep doing what you do. It is 'honest' art, and you rock my friend!!

Al Shep proves its possible to achieve a pure graphic style without the need of technology, and incorporates a lot of heavy meaning, personal rants and ideas into them focusing on quick concepts

Talented yes, clever .... possibly not. He's thrown away more good ideas than you've never had.
