ABOUT THE ART

Walter Gabrielson (1935–2008) 'Poker Faces' series playfully reimagines classic playing-card iconography through bold color, exaggerated character design, and a sly sense of humor. Works such as 'River Rat' and 'The Nuts!' take familiar card symbols—aces, kings, suits—and reinterpret them with expressive personalities and narrative flair. Rather than the stoic imagery traditionally found in decks, Gabrielson’s characters come alive with attitude, irony, and a whimsical storytelling quality. Each piece visually riffs on poker terminology, merging wordplay with dynamic illustration to create art that appeals equally to collectors, card players, and lovers of graphic design.

The large-scale lithographs are produced with meticulous craftsmanship, printed in rich, saturated tones and crisp lines that echo the refined techniques of vintage commercial illustration. Their framing as oversized playing cards creates immediate visual impact, while the humorous details invite closer inspection. As a series, 'Poker Faces' embodies Gabrielson’s gift for blending fine-art printmaking with pop-culture themes, resulting in work that is both accessible and artistically sophisticated.

ARTIST BIO

Walter Gabrielson (1935–2008) was an American painter, printmaker, and illustrator known for his vibrant approach to narrative imagery and his ability to fuse wit with fine-art technique. Educated at the University of Southern California and later a professor at Pepperdine University, Gabrielson cultivated a career that bridged studio art, graphic design, and teaching. His work reflects a deep engagement with classic American illustration, comic sensibilities, and a mastery of traditional printmaking methods, most notably multi-color hand-separated lithography.

Throughout his career, Gabrielson exhibited widely and was celebrated for his lively visual language, which combined precision draftsmanship with playful storytelling. His prints and paintings often portrayed anthropomorphic characters, humorous cultural references, and imaginative reinterpretations of familiar symbols—qualities that earned him a dedicated following among collectors. The 'Poker Faces' series, created in the mid-2000s, stands as a prime example of his ability to merge humor, craftsmanship, and popular iconography into enduring works of contemporary American art.

Pleasantly surprised
I’m two jars in and love it. I do use Botox, retinol, a good face wash, wash moisturize twice daily, etc etc. I struggle with moisturizer because I’m prone to breakouts. Idk what it is about this one but my skin loves it. It feels refreshed and soft. Added bonus, my eyebrows and lashes have gotten longer and darker quick! Obviously we all respond differently to products but I’ll be keeping this in my rotation

A thick and rich cream that smooths on nicely!
So I jumped on the Korean skincare bandwagon and decided to purchase some of the DR MELAXIN Products to try! I read many good reviews and decided it was worth the money. This first product is the Dr Melaxin Calcium cemenrete calcium volume cream. It comes in a 1.76 ounce glass jar. On the label there is a lot of word descriptions so I will add a few: Ex volume firming, rebornic 10,000 ppm hydrolyzed elastin and collagen extract. I have photographed label for viewing. The directions indicate to "apply a small amount of cream onto your face especially around the under-eye area". I found the cream thick and rich and I used it in addition to another Dr Melaxin neck and face product so I concentrated on only neck and under eye area. It is neutral in scent and is very thick so it feels like it is absorbing nicely. I have been using it for about a month now and have definitely noticed some improvement in the neck area so i will continue to use and layer with other products. I do recommend this line as the ingredients seem effective so far!

Good product for face.
Great product. Works well with decreasing lines in face after half is used and with the serum. It does leave somewhat of a sticky (not grimy) texture which is uncomfortable if using at night.

Loose under eye skin tightened and brightened!
I love this cream! It makes a huge difference in the strength of the skin under my eyes and smooths the look and feel of the wrinkled skin under my eyes. It brightens my under eye circles. I gave 4 stars because if you use too much it will start to roll off almost like skin does when it sheds or when you exfoliate. I use less now and it’s perfect.

Working on Deep Wrinkles Great Results
I really like this product, it’s been working well on deeper wrinkles, especially on my forehead and around my smile lines. With consistent use, I can see a noticeable improvement in how my skin looks. The texture feels hydrating and smooth, and it absorbs nicely without feeling heavy. It leaves my skin feeling softer and more refreshed after each use. I also like that it helps with overall skin appearance, making it look more even and a bit more radiant. Minor note: Results take consistency, so it’s best to use it regularly to see the full effect. Overall, this is a great product for targeting fine lines and deeper wrinkles. Hydrating, easy to use, and delivers visible improvements over time.
