Brendan Monroe

There is something very compelling about the gloomy artwork of Brendan Monroe. I recently came across some prints by this new artist, and, although the prints he has made so far are quite dismal, they are really high quality and are well designed. I like how he uses the weird green skinned characters with twigs in their heads often. And, as I have stated before, I love people that have a good sens of color, and guess what: Brendan Monroe has a good sense of color (although it is quite a bit more "muted" than I usually like ... )


For those of you in Long Beach, he is having a show at Koo's on East Broadway ... the show looks like it is sponsored by skateboard companies, so I don't know if that means anything, but maybe he is involved in board designs or something ...
