I love working directly with artists on commissioned one-of-kind paintings. This is an amazing, large piece on rusted metal that I worked on directly with the English artist Prefab77 out of London, England.
This was my first piece of “big boy” art. The piece I gifted myself when I finally finished school. It has done well over time and is one of 7 prints I have of Banksy. (My only signed print). It will now be able to pay for a college education for one of my kids one day. Assuming they go to an in-state school!
Really great story about a woodworking forger. This paragraph stuck with me:
Though he admits his duplicity, Washington does not think he took complete advantage of people. In a series of telephone conversations from prison, he described himself as a successor to the great carvers of old. He believes that, although his clients did not receive antique woodblocks, his work is art with its own intrinsic value.
