Dylan Sisson’s Quirky, Crazy Paintings
Why is it that one of the first things you notice is a change in a buddy’s IM icon? It’s just one of those things that jumps out at you…or it is for me. Well, fortuitously, a friend changed her IM icon yesterday and it really caught my eye. Turns out that she’s sharing the work of artist Dylan Sisson, who I wasn’t previously familiar with.
Dylan is a painter, illustrator, and animator who’s work has appeared in galleries across the west coast and film festivals around the world.
Invariably the subjects chosen by Mr. Sisson are those things that are at once compelling and repugnant, things that scribble outside of desire and disgust. Creepy cute.
Case and point is his hilariously out of proportion character featured in Baker’s Dozen:
Originally from Washington State, Sisson now works out of San Francisco creating an assortment of oddly elaborate characters and creations. Most are available as original paintings as well as posters, tees, buttons, etc. at his shop.
