    It's 9 ft. x 4 ft.....such a beast. Cheering for the artist to have a well documented and dramatic death soon to ship this baby into the meeeeeelions.

    "The home is something constant and stable, being preserved in the consciousness of the artist through all of his travels. Conversely, the wind embodied in the form of a waving shirt is associated with anxiety, with powerful chaotic forces, and the removal from one's home."

    Whatever---

    I own these of his too....definitely one of my favorite artists. Jroth, make it grizzly and twisted somehow, and you have a deal. He has a pretty cool style: www.vladimirkush.com

    ya, i want to see that gallery. that's awesome that you went. he lives and paints there...he also has a gallery in The Alladin in Vegas. Pictures don't do it justice IMO...the colors are living in person.

    i didn't pay gallery pricing obviously, so didn't spend $28k

    and to answer your question, it's a canvas giclee (final artist proof).

    wasn't intended to be a brag...i was just excited to finally get it up because it took awhile and had to remount it a couple times, etc... It took all day and I think it looks sick as shit, that's all.

    I just view art as an investment that has the added bonus of being able to enjoy it (vs. financial instruments), so I put a % of my portfolio into art. I have a collection of about 50 pieces or so now, and I rotate a couple a year....but I hadn't moved any in awhile...hence the excitement and the post.
