The Southern-born mixed media artist earned a Graphic Arts degree from the Art Institute of Atlanta while at the same time experimenting with new printing techniques and further honing his design skills. While earning a living doing freelance design work, Owens never lost sight of his roots, conjuring images inspired by street art, rock-n-roll, and most notably skate art and culture.
Eventually the worlds of traditional media and design combined and matured into the recognizable style of art that Owens is known for today. Showing in galleries on both the East and West coasts, much of Owens’ work is a symbiosis of iconic illustration, clean design, and bold typography screened, splattered and forged in the grit and flavor of urban decay and street art. He achieves his style by using a combination of vector and freehand illustration, screen printing, stenciling, and the use of a wide range of acrylics, stains, wheat paste and other materials. Collected and shown across the United States, Canada, Australia, Asia, and Europe, Owens has made a name for himself with his uniquely-stylized female forms and the monolithic murals and installations that showcase the depth of his talent.</description><title>http://charlieowens-turner.tumblr.com/</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @charlieowens-turner)</generator><link>http://charlieowens-turner.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>MLB POSTSEASON  Select image from the 2009 MLB Postseason on TBS...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5m1ws4BGe1rxgpcoo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MLB POSTSEASON&lt;/strong&gt;  Select image from the 2009 MLB Postseason on TBS national print campaign pitch.  &lt;em&gt;Client: Turner Sports/TBS.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://charlieowens-turner.tumblr.com/post/25090291852</link><guid>http://charlieowens-turner.tumblr.com/post/25090291852</guid><pubDate>Thu, 14 Jun 2012 10:07:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>NASCAR ON TNT  Select image from the 2008 NASCAR on TNT Summer...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57p0zqYNR1rxgpcoo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NASCAR ON TNT&lt;/strong&gt;  Select image from the 2008 NASCAR on TNT Summer Series print campaign. &lt;em&gt;Client: Turner Sports/TNT.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://charlieowens-turner.tumblr.com/post/24555598423</link><guid>http://charlieowens-turner.tumblr.com/post/24555598423</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:02:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>SKATE IT OR HANG IT!?  MUSEUM OF DESIGN ATLANTA (MODA)

&lt;p&gt;The Evolution of Skateboard Art will examine the visual aspects of skateboarding, a sport important to contemporary youth culture since the 1970s, by presenting a broad range of styles, imagery, and visual expression in skateboard art.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With a broad focus on skateboard graphics - in particular the styles and methods used to embellish skateboard decks - the exhibition will appeal to a broad range of skateboarders, designers, and artists, as well as to Atlanta’s youth in general.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Visitors will come to understand skateboard graphics in a variety of ways, as the exhibition will include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• A survey of skateboard art from the 1970s to the present day featuring over 175 iconic skate decks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Series boards highlighting the fundamental shift in skateboard art from “skater-based” to “company-based” imagery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Interviews with VCJ and Jim Phillips, along with personal appearances and original art by Sean Cliver, Andy Howell, Wes Humpston, Lance Mountain, Steve Olson and Michael Sieben.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Original installations by Atlanta-based artists Alex Brewer (aka HENSE) and Charlie Owens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Educational activities in which children are invited to design and create their own skateboard decks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• An exhibit demonstrating the steps by which skateboard decks are manufactured.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• A 9 foot interactive skateboard sticker exhibit - all ticketed attendees will be given a sticker to “slap on the board” for future time lapse video.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Interactive video highlighting skateboard tricks and street tagging.&lt;/p&gt;
