yousendit? :)

I'm familiar with a few of these but I didn't know the name
excellent stuff
 
I was sitting in the Diesel Jeans store on Newbury st. here in boston while my friend tried on shoes (thats how highclass I am :cool:) and was flipping through one of the gay magazines they had next to the chairs, and realized, art truely is fucking rediculous and stupid when it comes down to it, for the most part. Excluding normal-ish sculpture, and drawing/painting/etc. it just gets fucking RETARDED. I seriosuly wanted to find some of these "Artists" and punch them in the ballsack.

yeah read some stuff about him, when someone posted these paintings some months ago ... seems his son commited suicide some years earlier as well ...
 
been trying to find out more myself
his wife dies a year before his son
tragic stuff

I actually had his site in my favorites, just didn't recognise the posted stuff...maybe because he has a huge folio of material

hadn't looked at it in a while
but there are 100's of incredible drawings too
truely masterful stuff
if I had the $1,000,000 from the other thread it wouldn't take long to have it spent at $750 per print

it makes me just want to give up all this design crap and just get locked away to paint


he'd started working digitaly but (imo) with mixed results, some of it was good but a lot was quite studenty looking
I guess he was murdered before he got to realise his potental in that medium

bummer
