Robert Steven Connett - Empty Kingdom - Art Blog
It was clear as day when I first saw Robert Steven Connett's paintings. His work appears to be a window for us to peer into his microscopic and technological world. Plus, I am a huge fan of color and texture, and Connett executes both fabulously well.

Steve Johnson - Empty Kingdom - Art Blog
Steve Johnson is an illustrator based out of San Francisco. "One of my objectives as an artist is to bridge conflicting views by revealing shared concerns and common ground. The basic desire to find and maintain security, whether in a home, job, or relationship, in a forever shifting landscape, can create more losers than winners. Using a cast of chickadees, rats, and hummingbirds, my current work navigates the gray areas and middle grounds inhabited by animals with competing interests."

Today, we feature Minter's amazing enamel on aluminum paintings...legit, indeed.
