He's done it again. I would like to feature Ryan's new work he has been sharing on social media. These beautiful ink and colored pencil drawings are inspired by Japanese prints at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Drew Hall

Funny thing, I don't think I've spoken two words to this artist despite growing up in the same town. I discovered that Drew was a talented artist over social media. Drew works in oil and acrylic paint and dabbled in surrealism work as well as hyper realism. Examples of his work (new and older) are below, check him out on Instagram (link below).

Robin Luther

Robin and I go way back to McHenry County College, where the art was rich and plenty. Robin works in photography and is currently working as a visiting assistant professor at Hubei University of Technology in Wuhan, China. I saw Robin's art work featured in this blog post when it was exhibited at Greymatter Gallery in the Marshall Building of Historic Third Word in downtown Milwaukee.

The show was titled Population and show cases letters written by inmates of Menard Correctional Center, located in Chester, Illinois, juxtaposed with photographs taken of Chester. In the letters, inmates reflect on their hometown and what they miss most. Robin explores the inmates and their connections between past and present homes and family life.
