Rediscovered: the art of Thomas Payne

He's the younger brother of my high school friend Michael Payne. Tom's a mad genius. I really like his art, even more the recent stuff he's done in oils actually.

Very very nice, kind of a francis bacon meets dali thing, although some of his use of color and figure styles reminds me of frida kahlo, whom I don't much like.

These probably can't be bought by humans, right? Even the most obscure artists I've seen tend to charge a lot...which is understandable, but there's no way I could buy art for more than a hundred bucks (a hundred bucks itself is a damn big stretch, I'd have to love the painting).

Good Heavens!

As Wallace says when the penguin pulls the rubber glove from his head to reveal that he's not really a rooster after all:

"It's you!"

I've only had this LiveJournal thing for two days now, and I'm already finding all sorts of people around here. Spooky!

I'll add you to my "friends' list," then, if that's all right...
