Vacation.

Going out of town and off the radar for a much needed escape from reality for a few days.

In the meantime, check out the work of an artist I really dig. Greg Gossel is a fantastic artist, working in a street-influenced style, but with lots and lots of smart, well-thought composition. A collage-ist, he gains an extra special bonus point of admiration from me.

At left, “John Wayne”, collage, acrylic, silkscreen, marker, paint pen, correction fluid, graphite, and enamel on stretched canvas, by Greg Gossel, 2008.

I truly hope to own some of this artist’s work one day.
