Artsy on Escape Into Life: Dwayne Butcher

Posted on May 1, 2012

Sometimes the simplest work can be the most powerful. I’m really drawn to these graphic, color-blocked paintings by Dwayne Butcher that I’ve posted over on Escape Into Life today. Go check ’em out!

Thanks for posting about his work — it was neat to check out his website to discover more of his works. Simplicity can pack a punch in a direct way that complex, layered work takes a while to get to. His short letters are great — I really liked the ones to Bill Cosby and Hipster!

Yes, loved the letters! The one to the city of Nashville may have been my fave. 😉

Thanks for the post. And I do HATE Nashville.

Haha, Dwayne! I visited there with a friend a few years ago and couldn’t really see what all the fuss was about. But I do have several friends who love it there.

Glad you stopped by!
