observer | prints available

I consider “observer” my first completed oil painting. Taken from sketchbook drawings this character has reemerged from time to time, perhaps waiting for a graphic novel to call home. Observer quietly gathers sensory information for posterity.

Meet multi-linguistic *Verge* and his brave cohort *Observer* by clever Portland artist Dan Gay (aka The Art of Dang). I really dig Dan’s bold, stylized comic characters and his keen sense of humor in their narratives.
