shawn barber

i’ve been a massive fan of shawn barber since his work graced the cover of EMPTY MAG way back in late 2006. the way he blends tight paint marks and loose textures is amazing. and i just straight out dig his subject matter. the wonder kids at fecal face have hooked up a nice interview with the man with some beautiful images of his work. this quote pretty much explains why i love shawns attitude and his work; “Be honest and critical with your flaws and shortcomings- challenge yourself to acknowledge your weaknesses and work towards progression. Coming up with a gimmick or style only lasts so long. Don’t copy your idols.” respect.

check out his new work and see the baby dolls he has going through some of it. anything creepy and evil like baby dolls are awesome. love them. if you made it to my last show you would have seen the baby dolls i painted black and white. awesome.

san fran will definitely be on the agenda for my next travel plans…
