Since we were all little people, parents, teachers, clergy, politicians, TV, movies, and books of all kinds have been molding us into plastic 'products', to be bought and sold over and over again. I think we can choose to shed that skin.

“

The raw and true inner self is smothered, slowly but surely, from the time we come crawling out of our maternal incubators. We are molded, prodded, branded, and manipulated. The process can result in an outer shell of spirit that doesn't resemble the raw pneuma at all. In some cases, it can take a long time to extricate yourself from yourself. A long, long time.

'I'm very proud to announce the release of 'Pneuma', a 30x24 inch art print that I'm dropping @ JermaineRogers.com this Friday, May 12th. I've wanted to give this image a proper art release for some time, and now is it.

Printed masterfully by the crew at Lady Lazarus Press, this piece is printed with rich inks (including a semi-metallic) on gallery cotton rag with hand-torn edges. Each print is signed and numbered out of an edition of only 60 pieces, and is hand-embossed with the Jermaine Rogers / Dero72 logo mark.

This imagery was used on a piece commissioned by the band Nine Inch Nails. As stated earlier, I have wanted to present 'Pneuma' in a rich serigraph format for some time, and I'm glad to see it finally realized. I hope you will enjoy the work.' - jr
