Due to
popular demand, Owen has released the first in a series
of Limited Edition Prints of vintage curling scenes!
“The reason I do so much
vintage stuff is two fold.”
“First, it just
naturally evokes some good feelings of yesteryear,
without getting too maudlin or syrupy. I’m convinced
that a condition of the human experience is to color our
memories, and usually for the better
(maybe it’s an
extension of ‘the grass is greener syndrome’). Everyone
does it: the drunken uncle you tended to avoid at family
functions becomes a revered patriarch after his funeral."
“The world is full of
dark, dour and plain crappy art that has more to do with
the screwed up head of the artist than with his viewers
(if any).”
“Hack artists come up
with stuff they feel some compulsion to share or reveal,
but serious artists have a desire to connect with
people…and that connection is usually a triggered memory.”
“The second is for
practical purposes: there’s less chances for copyright
infringement!”
