JIM WARD MORRIS MIDCENTURY PRINT SERIES
In my new series titled MIDCENTURY each collage exists completely as a high resolution digital image. All images available from this photo-based open edition series are expressed as digital pigment prints using museum quality archival ink and paper.
(print size 36X24” or 18X12”)
(print size 36X24” or 18X12”)
The new prints titled MIDCENTURY have been described as "imagery inspired by advertising from the 1950's and 1960's, certainly Joan Holloway and the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency (from the TV show Mad Men) would love this new work."
ART DESIGN
As a visual artist, graphic designer, native of Southern California and graduate of CalArts my work is respectfully influenced by many different concepts, including the art and design created by
John Baldessari and Lou Danziger. Both men have managed outstanding careers.
John Baldessari and Lou Danziger. Both men have managed outstanding careers.
In my career I have experienced a variety of art and design projects and recently as my focus changes to personal creative work, I realize the need to be engaged in a dialogue with other artists and art-consumers. As a connoisseur of archival printing techniques, both analog and digital, I also realize the need to sustain new art-making methods. Having the chance to take part in critical discussions based on conceptual issues as well as technical issues clearly are all essential matters to my maintaining a contemporary perspective as a participating artist.
With each of my new art and design projects, the goal to develop a solution that is viewed exclusively as unprecedented seems nonessential, and is of no interest to me. What does interest me and motivate me as an artist is the appeal to produce inspired art and design.

School Teacher
School Of Rock!
Many years ago, I first heard the line, “To change the system and to make a difference in this world you must be a part of the system." Well, today as I prepare for school...I prepare to make a difference.
Men who change diapers…change the world and make it better.
Men who teach...teach the world to change and make it better.
J W Morris
"To Sir With Love" 1967
Excellent movie about a public school teacher who makes life better.
Bob Dylan lyrics
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
When you’re lost in the rain in Juarez
When it’s Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don’t pull you through
Don’t put on any airs
When you’re down on Rue Morgue Avenue
They got some hungry women there
And they really make a mess outta you
Now if you see Saint Annie
Please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move
My fingers are all in a knot
I don’t have the strength
To get up and take another shot
And my best friend, my doctor
Won’t even say what it is I’ve got
Sweet Melinda
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English
And she invites you up into her room
And you’re so kind
And careful not to go to her too soon
As she takes your voice
And leaves you howling at the moon
Up on Housing Project Hill
It’s either fortune or fame
You must pick up one or the other
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
If you’re lookin’ to get silly
You better go back to from where you came
Because the cops don’t need you
And man they expect the same
Now all the authorities
They just stand around and boast
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms
Into leaving his post
And picking up Angel who
Just arrived here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first
But left looking just like a ghost
I started out on burgundy
But soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they’d stand behind me
When the game got rough
But the joke was on me
There was nobody even there to bluff
I’m going back to New York City
I do believe I’ve had enough
