Bob Pepper is my favorite artist to find on old paperbacks. He mined dynamic symmetry for all it was worth. Awesome colors. Great links, thanks.

Hey
All around great blog. A freind of mine showed this to me a little while ago and I didnt think to comment. But the Bob Pepper additions changed all that. Ive been trying to find covers by him for a couple years now. Simce I first started looking his web presence has grown, and its been good to see the web get familiar. Ive got some additional covers and art here:

I have a Bob Pepper original silk screen. It is of a women in 19th century clothing. She has a black dress on with a white shawl w/lace on the edge. She also has ared & pink apron on. There is an orange cat on her lap. Behind her is a red wall with pink & green flowers. there is a window with a black horse outside. the curtains are multi-colored with geometical designs and there is brown balls on the boarder. It doesn’t look like sleeve art or abook cover. Could any one please help me identify this piece. I would like to find out when the piece was done or even just to know the title, would be agreat help.
