“NAME OF ACTION”
It was a West Texas desert where Mr. Bermes came into being late in the year 1978. In his formative age, he was an inattentive student lost in daydreams and his sketch pad. As a teen he divided his time between cattle pastures, the football field, meandering unnamed oil patch roads of caliche construct, and hiking the remote back-country trails of Big Bend observing the atmospheric distances of the high desert mountains. The high school art room is where methods of screen-printing, oil painting, pastels, and sculpting were revealed to the young man. In his twenties and early thirties, screen printing, stencils, homemade stickers, calligraphy, and songwriting became the focus. Currently, oil painting and digital illustration hold his attention once the children and professional responsibilities are settled.
