LSD Worldpeace

In LSD Worldpeace Roberts’ earliest work welcomes us into the psychedelic journey with nostalgic references to films, comics, toys, logos, branding, and countercultural objects like ouija boards, sci-fi, aliens, and UFOs. Protective guardians of childhood guide us through our journey, for Joe, that’s the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mickey Mouse in Disney’s Fantasia

Texts by Myla DalBesio and Matthew Ronay contextualize the work, deciphering and decoding meanings, talismans, and signifiers, leading the way through Roberts’ transportive body of work and its unique language. 

Anthology Editions is pleased to announce the reissue of celebrated San Francisco-based artist Joe Roberts’ 2015 title LSD Worldpeace, available worldwide on May 18, 2023. Texts by Myla DalBesio and Matthew Ronay contextualize the work, deciphering and decoding meanings, talismans, and signifiers, leading the way through Roberts’ transportive body of work and its unique language. 

Roberts is known for revealing, surreal, and hallucinatory paintings, drawings, and mixed-media works, often referencing art brut or Naïve traditions of artmaking. Shapes, colors, phantasmagoric scenes, and mystic symbolism combine in worlds of cavernous hallways, catacombs, and the sky.  Time distorts, bends, and even stops, as we are ushered through a journey of his creative psyche.

In LSD Worldpeace Roberts’ earliest work welcomes us to the psychedelic journey with nostalgic references to films, comics, toys, logos, branding, and countercultural objects like ouija boards, sci-fi, aliens, and UFOs. Protective guardians of childhood, the icons of pop culture, guide us through our journey in recurring roles throughout the book, taking on new depth and meaning with every appearance. Personal mementos, diary entries, doodles, and confessional trip reports, add to Roberts’ formative process of searching for transformation, meaning, and the rituals of creating art.

Joe Roberts is an artist and illustrator. Born in Madison, Wisconsin, he later studied at the San Francisco Art Institute. Known for his work with found objects, Roberts creates mixed media pieces, collages, and paintings that create an ever-changing surreal world. His much sought-after work has been shown in notable galleries including Slow Culture in Los Angeles and Marlborough Gallery in New York. He’s published three books and currently lives and works in San Francisco.

Myla DalBesio is an American multi-disciplinary visual and performance artist. Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1987, she studied Fine Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is currently based in New York City. Her work is greatly influenced by the examination of traditional and sexual femininity, mystical nature, and the place where the two meet.

Matthew Ronay was born in 1976 in Louisville, Kentucky, and studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art before earning his Masters in Fine Arts from Yale University in 2000. Drawing on traditions of folk and pre-avant-garde art, as well as surrealism, mythology, and psychedelia, Ronay has developed a distinct artistic style that draws viewers in with its playfulness and then unveils a deeper, more multidimensional reality. He has exhibited at numerous institutions around the world and participated in the 2013 Lyon Biennale and the 2004 Whitney Biennial. He is based in New York.

Actor/model Elias Kacavas (Euphoria, Pretty Little Liars, My Big Fat Greek Wedding) graces the cover of 360 MAGAZINE as an Emerging Person.

Elias Kacavas




A Jack of All Trades

In 2016, ELIAS KACAVAS was accepted to the American University as an undergraduate medical student, hoping to one day become an orthopedic surgeon. He had no idea this was the first step to preparing for a career in showbiz.

While making the decision for his future, Elias recounted that his genuine interest and passion was acting; and thus, he confronted his family. “I had a conversation with my dad and said I am a performer. I don’t necessarily have anything to back it up, but I know that I am one,” said Elias.

Dropping out of a college program to pursue a dream, rather, following your God-given instincts is a talent in itself. Of those gritty and down-to-earth actors, Kacavas would do whatever it takes to make his voice heard. For some people, it can be perceived as arrogance, but for others, it’s a sign of harmony. His insatiable desire makes him yearn like a drop of water in Death Valley. We all emerge from adolescence with habits and behaviors that are very much in the realm of sophistication. But this ingenue is not just another manufactured product of the system. He has depth, stature, and character that nobody will ever take away from him.

The type of vulnerability that allows them to come forward without even knowing they’re there… It’s been far too long since Hollywood has witnessed a young tour de force like KACAVAS. In his spirit, he has passion and purpose substantiated by hunger. His performance in Euphoria remains one of the most talked-about episodes in the history of HBO. Let’s be honest. It’s extremely difficult to detach from Zendaya’s innate capacity to push a narrative. She literally breaks the internet with her allure and artistry. However, this time around, Kacavas longs to be greater, embracing a side many shy away from, playing a curious young man’s coming of age story. Finally, a methodical player who devotes himself to work and expresses raw emotion. He delves deeper on a journey to inspire. It’s what many refer to as je ne sais quoi. The connection between his voice and the content is genuine. It produces eloquence. 

From Young Cal on Euphoria to Greg on HBO Max’s Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, the 24-year-old actor from Manchester, New Hampshire, craves to immerse himself into dramatis personae. Kacavas, living his dream with the intention, is a forever New York actor.

The newly appointed PLL’s cast member was tapped to become a part of the iconic franchise, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3. On the cusp of its September release, Elias was beguiled. Mostly due to its filming in Greece; he was rooted in Greek heritage. He used the occasion to hone his native language. 

All in all, it’s refreshing to be in communication with someone who has taken the road less traveled without reservation.

Champagne Rose

#BespokeIsRollsRoyce

  • Rolls-Royce unveils Ghost ‘Champagne Rose’ – a pure expression of individuality finished in a single Bespoke colorway
  • Champagne Rose Signature Bespoke hue developed specially and reserved exclusively for the client
  • A one-off commission conceived as the ultimate personal statement to celebrate the client’s artistic success
  • Design inspired by client’s digital persona – @ChampagneRose
  • Bespoke interpretation of a rose motif on the waterfall and rose-inspired embroidery on the picnic tables
  • Bespoke ‘Champagne Rose’ Starlight Headliner took more than 60 hours to create
  • Commission presented to the client at a private Miami event

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars reveals Ghost ‘Champagne Rose,’ a magnificent Bespoke commission highlighting Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective’s mastery of color. Commissioned by the self-made musician from South Florida, this Bespoke creation takes its name and inspiration from the client’s digital persona, @ChampagneRose. The client challenged the Bespoke Collective to capture her personality with a Bespoke signature color, reserved exclusively for her use. 

The journey began with the client spending four days viewing, inspecting, and driving the entire Rolls‑Royce model family to select the one that would best suit her eclectic lifestyle. She chose Ghost as a motor car she could both enjoy driving herself and being chauffeured in, offering a pure canvas for celebration of her success.

VISION IN PINK

The Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective’s greatest challenge task was to create the perfect Bespoke color hue to express the client’s persona. The search began with a mood board of nearly one hundred color swatches of varying pink hues, which the client shared with the Bespoke Collective at Goodwood. Following an extensive analysis and examination of her work and preferences, they developed 30 paint samples, from which the final ‘Champagne Rose’ color was selected.

Executed on nearly every surface of this unique commission, the ‘Champagne Rose’ Bespoke color presented the team with an opportunity to accentuate Ghost’s pure, minimalist design. The ‘Champagne Rose’ exterior with a Crystal finish produces an elegant, shimmering effect, highlighted with a single hand-painted coachline featuring a ‘Champagne Rose’ inscription. Matching wheel centers and single pinstripes complete the exterior finish.

A LABOR OF LOVE

The monochromatic interior continues to immerse the passengers in a daring splash of color, with the ‘Champagne Rose’ leather trim providing a contrast to the Piano Black veneers, black piping, and the interlinked RR monogram on the headrests.  Specialists from the Interior Trim Centre at Goodwood spent six months developing a Bespoke ‘Champagne Rose’ leather hue to perfectly match the exterior. Rigorous sun-simulation testing will ensure the color remains consistent over time in the Florida climate. The interior palette is completed with lambswool carpets, also in ‘Champagne Rose.’

Creating a single-tone colorway at the level of perfection expected from the Bespoke Collective is a highly complex undertaking. Because materials absorb and reflect light in their own way, the human eye will perceive slight variations if the same color is applied to different surfaces. To ensure the consistency of the color experience within the car, the Bespoke Collective, therefore, had to develop numerous formulations of the ‘Champagne Rose’ hue, each subtly adjusted 

ROSE MOTIF

To celebrate the personality of the client, the rear seat waterfall is adorned with a delicate rose motif. To ensure the design was exactly in accordance with the client’s wishes, the Interior Surface Centre experts spent several days experimenting with prototypes. The final design is created by combining multiple coats of paint and lacquer in a process that took over 14 hours to complete. The rose motif continues in the embroidery on the back of the picnic tables, each created with 5,500 individual stitches and representing over 30 hours of collective work.

The rose motif also appears on the Bespoke Starlight Headliner. Created by particular positioning of 482 from the 1,132 fiber-optic ‘stars’, this beautiful expression of the client’s persona took over 60 hours to design. Unique Bespoke backlit treadplates in the Champagne Rose color complete this exceptional commission.

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

Launched in the fall of 2020, Ghost provides Rolls-Royce patrons around the world with the ultimate blank canvas for expression of their individuality through Bespoke personalization. Its infinite potential is as boundless as an owner’s limitless imagination and, over past years, Rolls-Royce has encapsulated clients’ visions in the most extraordinary Ghost commissions, representing the full bandwidth of Bespoke craftsmanship. Clients’ imaginations and the unparalleled skills of the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective continue to push boundaries of creativity for Ghost.
