Stu Mead is a great, creative artist. I discovered his art a couple of years ago in a book and was intrigued. Only more recently did I take a good long look. He knows exactly how to put a picture together. With a few brush strokes, he is able to capture just the right expression on a face. He can make us laugh at every turn. His art is a bridge between the worlds of comics and fine art. Art history and the history of graphic design/illustration/comics are his references. It's got a balance of all the right elements and originality to boot.
Thanks for being you, Stu.
P.S. If you don't mind pervy humor, pick up a copy of the new
"Men Beg".

This gorgeous Gauguin painting was attacked in April at the National Gallery in D.C. by a lunatic and....
Two 17th century Poussin paintings got vandalized with red spray paint just last week at the National Gallery in London. Here's a photo of some of the damage. 
Detail of my new painting shown above - it's a large version on linen of the little oil sketch I did called "Blue Whale Cove". I am continuing the theme of the cove w/ figures.
Someone was talking about Lucian Freud's paint brushes the other day. Here are mine. I use every size, shape and type of brush to create my paintings. My medium is fine oil paint, usually on linen. I basically work wet-on-wet.
