An ordinary artist shows you the things everybody can see. The egotistical artist shows you the things only he can see. But the great artist shows you things nobody ever saw before.

Michael Brown

Posted by Charley Parker at 5:37 pm

Michael Brown
Michael Brown is an artist about whom I can find little information. I came across his work on the web site for Gallery Nucleus.

He indulges in some delightful weirdness involving vaguely bunny-like things holding matches, sinister looking rabbits and birds with human eyes, and, in particular, beautifully colored translucent imaginary undersea invertebrates, floating languidly somewhere in the dark oceans of Brown’s mind.

The gallery offers prints as well as originals and a book of Brown’s recent works.

    Oh cool! Brown is a professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design Atlanta campus ( I go to school at the Savannah campus and another prof showed us his work). He’s got a sizeable gallery at his myspace: http://www.myspace.com/funpig . He specializes in acrylic airbrush.
