An old friend of mine by the name of Brett Farkas, an illustrator and painter, recently showed some new work and, as seems to always be the case, I missed it. He was kind enough to send me some images so I could have my own private viewing. I’ve decided to put them on display here and share them with ye shadowy millions. I’ve always admired the tight, controlled, style of his characters and in this new work he plays them against more organic shapes and textures. Most of the pieces here are pencil on tracing paper, back-painted with acrylic, house paint, or paint marker. There is some rubber stamping and linoleum block-printing in evidence and it’s all topped off with a healthy topcoat of resin and/or polyurethane. Hope you enjoy…

Since I happen to know where these are housed, I may have to break out my cat burglar gear and snatch that monster piece at the top of the post.

I know just how Bass Boy feels. I like the use of materials; this is the kind of art that he could make while stranded on a island.
