I love the hand drawn quality that many of these have as well the collage techniques used. I really like David Fullarton's layout here. i love his use of words as well. I guess I just like that it's witty. I want my artwork to make people laugh as well as think.
I love his website as well. He works primarily in painting, drawing and illustrations and is ultimately a freelance artist.here is a video of him working. he is the man in the hat drawing.
lastly i just fell in love with his artist statement. it is so much better than mine. sigh.
STATEMENT
"David Fullarton is a Scottish born, San Francisco based artist. He keeps notebooks filled with scraps of paper, scribbled phrases, and other ephemera that he incorporates into his artwork. These elements represent the often overlooked stuff of daily life, which is the root of Fullarton’s inspiration. He sees beauty in the ways people manage to find joy and meaning in the minutiae. The artist paints vibrantly complex canvases whose elements jumble and mix together in a facsimile of modern life. Fullarton compliments these with smaller mixed media drawings on paper. These paper works are sometimes the genesis of the finished paintings, but are more often stand-alone vignettes featuring forlorn characters who find themselves in compromising situations. "
You might like Sean Landers too. Less pretty, but definitely more humorous.
