Doe-eyed girls in pink dresses, animated deserts, bubbly cartoon characters – at first blush these qualities seem to define the work contained in EdgyCute. But a closer look reveals the dead rat on a plate, lurking skeletons, the crying birdhouse; there is nothing sugary-sweet about those cupcakes and Pinocchio will use that revolver he’s holding.

Harry Saylor, owner of Orbit Gallery, has assembled a motley band of artists that dwell in the nether regions of our imaginations where malevolence and immorality transmogrify purity and naivety, breeding the EdgyCute aesthetic. While the work of these 47 artists varies greatly, it all strikes irresistible poses that have found their ways into museums and galleries, marketing campaigns and our dreams.

Had a couple days off with my father. It was good to see him and show him our neighborhood. We had a great time. I am getting back to the painting today and hoping to push a few good days out in the studio. It should be easy with the blacket of snow on the ground.

the Sphinx and Helmet from the beginning!

Took a few days off to reevaluate and decompress after a very busy summer. The bears were thick up in the North Fork of Bear Creek(go figure), luckily we didn’t run into them. We saw scat and a couple bed down areas; one with a recent marmot snack still laying around. Besides the nervous bear present it was relaxing and beautiful. I need a few more of those trips during the summertime months. I had to share the photo of my shoes. A good investment that my father bought me when I was 27 in 1998. Still kicking dad! Thanks for sharing Bears!
