Fabulist!

I haven't posted in three or four months, due mostly to a particularly disruptive mass failure of technology on almost every conceivable level, but also because I have finally relocated to Portland, Oregon. During the season of torrential and endless rains, apparently.

And now that I'm here, I've been poking around looking for new (to me!) artists to discover. And my first offering to you? Portland resident Seth Neefus. Though he moved here recently, the flavor of his art is quintessential Oregon, to me. Shades of green and brown predominate, trees are everywhere, and the overall effect is organic and natural. It is dream-like while still maintaining a grounded feeling of reality and common sense.

His site isn't the easiest to provide example links to, as most everything is posted on one page and you have to scroll down, but it's definitely worth a long look. There are drawings, paintings, absolutely *huge* mountains made of painted houses, art outside, art inside, art incorporating bits of the natural environment, art with statements, art WITHOUT statements...I mean, seriously. Go. Look. Here.
