Jason Hoelscher
Out walking with 1/2 of DoubleButter today and he pointed out this guys work in a gallery. Big, bright, and generally just interesting. Kind of graphic design or icon-like, but I think they go past that. Now showing at the Rule Gallery.

Patrick Kikut
Found this painter who is now working at my alma mater, while trying to figure out how UW talked David Carson into signing up for duty. Nutty.

Duck Stamps
I wish now I’d saved all the stamps I’ve purchased over the years, it’s a great govt. idea and some fun art comes out of the process (think Norm Gunderson in Fargo). All from the Federal Duck Stamp site. Ok I promise, no more ducks. Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps, commonly known as [...]
Josef Schulz

Merrill Wagner
This is an artist that seems to always pop back into my mind because of the great use of steel as as a canvas. I actually caught her work at a show in Casper, Wyoming of all places and truthfully it was a great fit. Her subtile releif of paint + rust and the striations [...]

33 Stewart Avenue
More in the vein of “how come I’m not doing that?” with all respect to Sean at 33 Stewart Avenue. Not just iconic shots of LA, but also taco trucks, NYC food carts, fun stuff.
