The 'local artist' thread

[335clone]

So there is a local kid who does some fantastic art and sells it on the street for 3 prints for $20. He is an incredible talent, and each member of our family has purchased a number our favorite prints. I will post a link to his facebook site if you are interested in checking it out, but here is a sample...

(UCSC is in town, and their mascot is the banana slug)

So, if you know of any local artists who could use a little exposure, post them here.

He's pretty good. I looked at a lot of his stuff and I can see hints of Vaughn Bodé, Leo & Diane Dillon, Steadman, and a lot of the 60s/70s paperback cover artists.

Oh man I love that first piece. Any idea what the dimensions are? That would piss off so many people if I hung that in my office. Not the reason I like it, but it is a bonus.

His prints are typically 11" w x 13-17" tall. I think his originals are 24x48

Ask him on his facebook page, I'm sure he could ship it to you if you worked something out. He is a VERY nice guy.

my current favorite, hanging above my desk at home. It's called "wasted" and was inspired by the drought and the general wasting of our natural resources.

Those are pretty cool. I like that style.
