Two Words People: Kyle Ranson




Kyle Ranson's art is moving, emotional, and honest. All things great art ought to be.
From what I read, Kyle's going to be having a great year. He's booked art shows all over the world. And is showing with some other amazing artists. After years of producing art, it looks like Kyle's really starting to take off. Keep an eye on him. And if you happen to buy art, nows the time.

Roger Brown

I've been looking at some of the artist to come out of the Chicago art scene in the late 60's and 70's. I'll share some of the ones that i've really been into recently.

The first one I'll showcase is Roger Brown (1941-1997)

Roger Brown created work from the early 60's all the way through to the end of his life in the late 90's. I've been really into his works painted in the 80's and 90's. Here's just a few of them.





Here's an online resource for Roger Brown. Once you've made the jump, follow the links on the left for more images of his work.

Sean McFarland, photographer.




Sean McFarland has many cameras, and has created some amazing bodies of work over the last few years. With the recent news of Polaroid no longer making it's instant film, I've been looking at Sean's Polaroid photos as something just a bit more special. Sean Mcfarland has used Polaroids to capture nature. And he's done it with a soul not commonly seen in Polaroid images.
