“The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by
hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting.”
Thomas Kinkade

Featured Artist: David Arthur-Simons

Flying with my eyes


Guess who's back? And don't you act surprised, Mad Swirlers. After all, how could anybody, especially the maddest of swirlers, say no to David Arthur-Simons mad skill? Not us! This is David's third time to be featured in the Mad Gallery. And can you blame us? Behind the surreal imagination of these jaw-dropping paintings there is an even more surreal process. This New York based artist spends one day of the year on each painting... which means he has 365 paintings in process, that he only works on once a year, leaving whatever he'd accomplished to wait 364 days to be touched again. You'd think the madness would stop there, but just look at a few of his paintings, and you will find yourself exploring realms of your own mind you didn't even know existed. Prepare yourself for some intense pieces of work, and perhaps just a teeeeeny bit of envy, as you take a peak inside the swirlingly profoundly mad mind of this month's featured talent. - mio
